a weekend away, left the City today

Dont want the big smoke to leave me behind
                                               
The train leaves at two, Platform 3 waterloo
  
50p to the tramp makes me feel kind

*SAME CHORDS* 
I get a good seat , with a table my feet
Are up on the one in front everyone stares
Why do they care, like theres feelings in chairs
Trapped for 3 hours until I get there
 
Cos my
Eyes, eyes, eyes
Are not
 
Dry, dry, dry
As I
 
Realise, ise, ise
 
That in a few minutes this train will be gone
 
Sighs, sighs, sighs
City
 
Fly’s, fly’s, fly’s
Wonder
 
Why, why, why
 
Would anyone want to leave where I come from?
                     
Torn on the platform-or-or-orm
               
Torn on the platform-or-or-orm
                     
Torn on the platform-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-ohhhhhhhh!

VERSE 2             *Same as before*
It’s 1.58 wish that I had been late
And missed the train and given them an excuse
But what is the use, I’ve less slack than a nouse
Do or die stay or go what shall I choose

Cos my
Eyes, eyes, eyes
Are not
Dry, dry, dry
As I
Realise, ise, ise
That in a few minutes this train will be gone
Sighs, sighs, sighs
City
Fly’s, fly’s, fly’s
Wonder
Why, why, why
Would anyone want to leave where I come from?

Torn on the platform
Torn on the platform
Torn on the platform

                              open 
Like in a film the motion starts to slow
                              open 
As the beeping carriage doors begine to close
                             
Momenterily I’m standing froze
            
Then I jump between the gap
            
Land on the platform flat

I’m not

Torn on the platform
Torn on the platform
Torn on the platform
