Playing With Electric Trains Lyrics - Chris Difford

When I was crowned a mummy¹s boy 

by friends I didn¹t like 

I made a meal of trips to school 

upon my fathers bike 

and I used to sit between his legs, 

perched on a piece of wood 

and if it ever rained on us 

I slipped beneath his hood, 

at home the radio was on 

Œwall papered all those years, 

the world was such a simple place 

with music to my ears.

to Gerry Garcia 

life was all fun and games 

I was out of my head, 

and underneath my bed 

playing with electric trains. 

I met my friends at Sunday school 

and playing on the field, 

inside my bedroom there I found 

the future was concealed 

my records stacked up in a pile, 

collected from the chart 

with pictures pinned up on the wall 

I found my beating heart, 

and at home the stereo was on 

my feet stomped the floor, 

a Fender willow cricket bat 

had left me wanting more.

From Julie Andrews 

to Gerry Garcia 

life was all fun and games 

I was out of my head, 

and underneath my bed 

playing with electric trains. 

Kneeling with my torch light 

turning my transformer 

sleeping in my wet dreams 

with my eyeballs stuck in readers wife¹s, 

pubic hairs were proudly 

counted everyday I woke 

manhood took me slowly 

down and down and down...... 

I chased the girls and made them cry 

my hair grew down my back 

the contents of my teenage years 

were spent down in the sack 

and I played guitar and formed a band, 

I pewked up all night long 

as people came to sit and stare 

while I raced through my song, 

at home there was sadly nothing on 

my childhood had to end, 

the Sound of Music passed me by 

just like the Grateful Dead. 

From Julie Andrews 

to Gerry Garcia 

life was all fun and games 

I was out of my head, 

and underneath my bed 

playing with electric trains. 

From Julie Andrews 

to Gerry Garcia 

climbing in that photograph 

I can touch my stupid face 

I chose the road to here and now 

and this very special place 

where all I am is all I breath 

its a sober world I chase 

so I can fix these broken tracks, 

playing with electric trains.
