Engine Driver Songtext
When I grow up I want to be
An engine driver.
I'll build up my own head of steam-
Twenty-fice horsepower.
But when I pull off, I don't want to
Follow time tables
Or tracks.
I will cut
New paths through
Topsoil and tarmac.
More miles per hour-
Strange light in the ancient mills.
New sights for old eyes,
Giant leaps under small skies-
A sense of death in the hills.
The only thing that
I will leave behind is
A simple trail-
Two stark parallel lines
That cut their way away
Across the land
Which our children will preserve
Bot won't understand.
Old hands, new power,
An engine driver.
I'll build up my own head of steam-
Twenty-fice horsepower.
But when I pull off, I don't want to
Follow time tables
Or tracks.
I will cut
New paths through
Topsoil and tarmac.
More miles per hour-
Strange light in the ancient mills.
New sights for old eyes,
Giant leaps under small skies-
A sense of death in the hills.
The only thing that
I will leave behind is
A simple trail-
Two stark parallel lines
That cut their way away
Across the land
Which our children will preserve
Bot won't understand.
