Train In Vain Lyrics

Train In Vain

(Mick Jones, Joe Strummer)

 

 They say you stand by your man

 Tell me something I don't understand

 You said you love me and that's a fact

 And then you left me, said you felt trapped

 Well some things you can't explain away

 But the heartache's with me to this day

 

 Chorus:

 

 Did you stand by me?

 No not at all

 Did you stand by me?

 No way

 

 All the times that we were close,

 I remember these things the most

 I've seen my dreams come tumbling down

 I can't be happy without you around

 So alone I keep the wolves at bay

 And there's only one thing I can say

 

 Chorus:

 

 Did you stand by me?

 No not at all

 Did you stand by me?

 No way

 

 So explain why this must be

 Did you lie when you spoke to me?

 

 Chorus:

 

 Hey, did you stand by me?

 No not at all

 Did you stand by me?

 No way

 

 I got a job but it don't pay

 I need new clothes, somewhere to stay

 Hey without these things I can do

 But without your love I can't make it through

 But if you don't understand my point of view

 Then there's not a damn thing I can do

 

 Chorus:

 

 Did you stand by me?

 No not at all

 Did you stand by me?

 No way

 

 Did you stand by me?

 No not at all

 Did you stand by me?

 No way
