Текст песни: The Coroner's Footnote + перевод

There’s a girl leaving town for the sunshine

She’s heading out to Happiness Bay

She’s going first thing in the morning

And hopes to be there by midday

Her flavoursome buck is awaiting

Laden with fraudulent charms

Enough for to plunge a doe such as she

Straight into his dastardly arms

But the tragedy lies in the background

For a young man by whom she’s adored

Is planning to throw himself under

The train she’s intending to board

Now the fates may look down and show mercy

And answer a poor mother’s call

And the service soon after departing

May stop for no reason at all

And the young girl may come to her senses

And the wretch may get tetchy and leave

And the chap wracked with anguish incarnate

May gladly accept his reprieve

Now some shitty lyrics site is stealing our words

So if you’re reading this anywhere else

Come and read the original stuff on

The Half Man Half Biscuit Lyrics Project

But the fates around these parts are ruthless

And sometimes just want people dead

So he’ll probably throw himself under

The ten twenty-seven instead

Now the engine is leaving the station

The cow has been scraped from the line

And two letters by way of explanation

Have been written for those left behind

And should there develop high drama

Upon which an inquest is heard

You may like to curb your lamenting

Until you’ve all heard the last word

Well he thought of a love unrequited

And he thought of a life full of pain

It’s a pity he didn’t spare a thought for

The poor bastard driving the train
