Shiny Rails Of Steel Lyrics
In the dirty basements of my brain
The older of the iron train
Steam rise up an opaque cloud
And silence breaks like glass beneath the whistle clear and loud
And tire rods clank like robots as machinery slowly moves
To make it's effort down these shiny rails of steel
And through some window passing now
I think I see her now looking out
Her nose pressed round upon the glass
That flickers like a piece of jade as it goes flashing past
In dirty coalman coaches sliding out to meet the dawn
Beside the stockyards on these shiny rails of steel
So I turn myself around and walk along the wet concrete

That seems to crack beneath my burden and years of boiler heat
