words to "time flies by when I'm a driver on the train.....

[mckenzie]

and I drive on the footplate there and back again.
Under bridges, over bridges, to my destination"

odes anyone know the rest of the words please and what programme this is from?

TIA

[WigWamBam]

It's from Chigley.

Time flies by when I'm the driver of a train
And I ride on the footplate there and back again
Under bridges over bridges to our destination
Puffing through the countryside there's so much to be seen.
Passengers waving as we steam through a station.
Stoke up fireman for the signal is at green.

Time flies by when I'm the driver of a train
And I ride on the footplate there and back again
In the cutting, through the tunnel,
Rushing clanking on the track.
Wheezing pistons, smoking funnels,
Turning wheels go clickety clack.

Time flies by when I'm the driver of a train
And I ride on the footplate there and back again.

I always preferred the Half Man Half Biscuits' version - anyone one else remember them? Class

[Carlk]

Still got their album on vinyl love them.
humour and great sounds. My favorite.

[CountessDracula]

ooh yes I liked that version

Kate Moss would too

[WigWamBam]

Careful with that spliff, Eugene, it causes condensation ...

[mckenzie]

aaa! half man half biscuit... reminds me of when me and dh first started going out together...

i thought the title of this thread was referring to that version!!!!

[Jimjams]

I did as well and have just trawled the web and come up with this.

Half Man Half Biscuit - Time Flies By


Time flies by when you're the driver of a train
speeding out of trumpton with a cargo of cocaine
i get high when i'm the pilot of a plane
touching down in Camberwick i'm stoned out of my brain

under bridges over bridges to our destination
careful with that spliff, Eugene, it causes condensation

every saturday I get the Chigley skins
and they always smash my windows 'cos the home side always wins
time flies by when you're a drive of a train
gonna get my syringes out and crank up once again

Will have to teach ds2 the non- HMHB version- he'll love it.

[Witchycat]

Yes, I thought the request was for the HMHB version too. Good to know there's a few of you with that album tucked away somewhere - was it 'Back in the DHSS ?' My dp actually still plays it quite often.

[frannykenstein]

I sh*gged someone out of HMHB.

Sadly I find it does not cause waves of envy and astonishment when I tell people (cause hardly anyone knows who they are anyway).

[frannykenstein]

You see? Nobody cares

[Witchycat]

Must admit Frannykenstein, I wouldn't recognise any of them, but it's still a claim to fame.

I never shagged anyone in the least bit famous!

[frannykenstein]

I don't think I would recognise him either

[mrsmoons]

thanks for sorting out the hmhb lyrics (i'm so old now, I couldn't remember them verbatim) ahh happy days. (me and my girl, sealclubbin' me and my girl, out on the ice!)
