Some Of My Best Friends Are Trains Lyrics - Waterboys

Flashman's in the belfry shouting as loud as he can 

Samson's up all night again talking about himself 

What a wonderful man 

and I'm just wild about Ronnie 

And Ronnie's just wild about me 

I saw him selling winter coats on the Portobello Road 

I thought I bet he wishes he was really working for the NME 

When the gang came down here again 

and they're phoning up Australia and they call each other names 

And they all just wanna look like Richard Hell and Tom Verlaine 

some of my best friends are trains 

Now Steven's in a sweat, he just can't read Kerouac books 

and Robin's all excuses, says he can't find much but he does look 

He goes up to the playfair 

he goes down with the stars 

He goes wild all the weekend in a girlfriend's car 

and he calls me from Chelsea and he says it's such a thrill 

And though I don't believe a word but he keeps me talking

Til the gang come down here again 

and they're phoning up Australia and they call each other names 

And they all just wanna look like Richard Hell and Tom Verlaine 

some of my best friends are trains 

And did you ever have 

one of those days 

Where the world's wide open 

and you can do anything 

And you can go anywhere 

and you don't have to think 

About who you'll offend 

every time that you even blink 

I'm going to the station where a big red train 

is waiting to take me to the country again 

Then you'll come from Yonkers but why should I care 

it'll rain and rain for days and days and you know I won't be there

When the gang come down here again 

and they're phoning up Australia and they call each other names 

And they all just wanna look like Richard Hell and Tom Verlaine 

some of my best friends 

Yeah the gang come down here again 

and they're calling up Australia and they're scaring all my friends 

And they all just wanna look like Hell and Verlaine 

some of my best friends are trains
