Apple Cider Re-constitution Lyrics

Apple Cider Re-constitution lyrics

When we came to the station all the trains were rusty,

 The doors were open and the windows broken in

 There was grass in all the cracks and the air hung musty

 The travel posters were flapping in the wind

 So we moved through the dust and gloom

 Playing waiting games in the waiting-room

 Lay our sleeping-bags out on the floor

 

 CHORUS

 And on Sunday morning easy rider comes to me with apple cider

 Leaves me here without a place to go

 

 If I followed the coast road, I'd be home by evening

 The harbour lights still cut across the bay

 >From the slot machine arcade the lights go streaming

 To the bikes outside the rock 'n' roll cafe

 Ah but you know those small  town blues

 Are really too much to lose-

 There's nothing really there to go back for

 

 CHORUS

 

 Any railway station would be just fine, fine, fine

 To settle down and wash the cobwebs from your head

 If your situation's running dry, dry, dry

 Find a waiting-room beneath the stars to make your bed

 

 You know London can make your brain stall

 The streets get cold and empty on a rainy night

 So you duck into the subway station, you can hear the trains call

 They want to take you to the Earl's Court Road, but it don't seem right

 And there's na, na, na noowah

 On the juke-box, singing in the burger bar

 See the people's faces in the passing cars don't want to know

 

 CHORUS

 

 YOu have the most appealing surface I have seen

 Bring it over here, lay it down by me

 Don't mean to make you nervous, I just mean

 To make you see, this is the place to be

 

 When we came to the station all the trains were rusty

 The air was empty and the platforms overgrown

 There were old tin cans and cats and the doors were crusted

 With mud and leaves and names carved long ago

 and the rails go on forever in a silver trail to the setting sun

 You can follow them anywhere you want to go

 

 CHORUS
