Blue Train

from Lyrics by Thursday's Child

lyrics

Blue Train
Ken Punshon & Chris Pyam

Big engine's groaning, and letting off steam
It's eager to get underway
Heading down from Calais, to the Gare Du Nord
Just see all those coaches sway

[Blue train, taking the tour
Blue train, heading for the Cote d'Azur] x2

Rolling on through Picardie, to the Ile de France
Listen to the rhythm of the train
The passengers are cruising, as they do their boozing
Supping their pink Champagne

[Blue train, blue, blue train. Heading for the Cote d'Azur] x2

{Bridge}
Round and round the Paris, Metro we go
Trying to get there on time
At the Gare de Lyon we don't know
Which platform, or which line

(for the)
[Blue train, blue, blue train. Heading for the Cote d'Azur] x2 {or alternate?}
Rushing for the train and trying to get on board
Catching Le Train Bleu
Not quite the same since it opened to the hordes
Have to have another liqueur
(on the)
[Blue train, blue, blue train. Heading for the Cote d'Azur] x2
{End Bridge}

The dining car is special, just taste that haute cuisine
Finished with a glass of strong cognac
Stopping off at Dijon, then onward to Lyon
Now we're all floating down the track

(with the)
[Blue train, taking the tour. Blue train, heading for the Cote d'Azur] x2

The Wagons-Lits are rolling, the couchettes are down
We're travelling the chemin de fer
Early in the morning we'll be stopping at Menton
Until then, I couldn't care

(Aboard the)
[Blue train, blue, blue train. Heading for the Cote d'Azur] x2
{Heading for the Cote d'Azur, Fading out to steam noise}

Thursday's Child UK

Thursday's Child was born on a Monday (August Bank Holiday 2009)!

Chris Pyam and Ken Punshon got together to try out a couple of ideas for songs. That afternoon they created about eight songs; since then over 100 more have emerged, with a few more 'bubbling away'.

Heather Dunn joined us in Nov 13 to contribute additional harmonies during the creation of our third album (Carry My Thoughts). ... more
