Stop This Train (BBC Radio One's ''John Peel Show'' 30/7/74)-Kevin Ayers

[00:44.36]On a railway train to anywhere [00:48.52]Something happened finally [00:52.70]The driver said he saw no station [00:57.00]And we were riding aimlessly [01:01.11]The train was filled with sleeping passengers [01:05.32]Going nowhere for the ride [01:09.63]Spoken whispers filled the carriages [01:13.79]No one cared to look outside [01:17.91]Conversation aimed at anyone [01:22.94]Bouncing questions off the wall [01:26.22]Except for two excited children [01:30.43]Burning caterpillars in the hall [01:35.31]All at once, I got quite frightened [01:39.31]Standing up, I gave a shout! [01:43.29]"I see a station just in front of me [01:47.90]Stop this train and let me out [02:25.79]The driver smiled and shook his head for me [02:29.73]"This train don't stop for anyone [02:34.14]And, if you want to leave this railway line [02:38.19]You'll have to jump off on your own [02:42.77]Someone came and gave me sandwiches [02:47.03]Saying that I looked unwell [02:51.18]He took my pulse and he gave it back to me [02:55.34]And then he hit me with his bell [03:33.01]He made a speech to all the passengers [03:37.38]He said "I've been a place today [03:41.59]And anyone who'd care to come with me [03:45.82]Step outside and walk this way [03:50.11]Inside the seats were warm and comfortable [03:54.37]Outside the train was wild and strange [03:58.69]I said, "Yes, sir, I'd like to come with you [04:02.74]It's really time I made a change [04:07.11]I left my seat and walked up front with him [04:11.16]And he began to push the door [04:15.31]I looked outside, but it nearly blinded me [04:19.74]I'd never seen such light before
