BETWEEN THE WARS LYRICS

"First Train Out"

i was trying to find a way home
to find somewhere where i belong
they say it's the small things
that make every moment worthwhile
i was born in the 60s
a child of working-class rhythm
brought forth into radio silence and given life
do you know where i belong?
because it's all i can think of
all i've got's a guitar
and a chorus to make it worthwhile

do you know when's the first train out
because i'm trying to get home
do you know when's the first train out
because i just don't know where to begin

it's hard to learn a rough trade
when you're the child of a miner
you want springsteen and lennon
but the job centre's all you can see
so i joined the back of the line
and i hoped for my big break
kept writing the words
and searching for my mystery train
ten years have passed since
i last left the coal pit
i was singing today
and i coughed up some coal dust and blood

the doctor said, "son, you haven't got long
you're not far off writing your final words
we can't do much, it's spread to your lungs
so just get comfortable and say your goodbyes"

do you know when's the last train out
because i've got to find my home
do you know when's the last train out
because i'm lost, and i'm scared,
and i don't know where i belong
