The Light at the end of the tunnle(is the light of an on coming train)



She stayed with me until
    
She moved to Notting Hill
                                    
She said it was the place she had to be.
          
Where the cocaine is Free Trade
    
And frequently displayed
                              
Is the Buena Vista Social club CD


I thought she'd be back in 3 weeks
            
And we'd go wandering The Peaks
                            
Sojourn in my Uncle Joe's ashram
         
For when you're in Matlock Bath
          
You don't need Sylvia Plath
                                  
Not while they've got Mrs Gibson's jam
 
                              
Alas I'm brooding alone by the runnel
                             
While she's in Capri with her swain
                               
And the light at the end of the tunnel
                           
Is the light of an oncoming train

 
Well we both grew up in Eyam
    
And strange as it may seem
                               
Neither of us thought we'd ever leave
        
But the beak in Leek is weak
          
And she's moved in, so to speak,
                            
With featureless TV producer Steve.
 
And now it's all Eva Cassidy
    
And aphids in Picardy
                 
And so I can only ascertain
                                
That the light at the end of the tunnel
                           
Is the light of an oncoming train

No frills, handy for the hills
Thats the way you spell New Mills

                              
Alas I'm brooding alone by the runnel
                             
While she's in Capri with her swain
                               
And the light at the end of the tunnel
                           
Is the light of an oncoming train
                           
Is the light of an oncoming train
