pogues – boat train lyrics
i met with napper tandy
and i shook him by the hand
he said “hold me up for chrissake
for i can hardly stand”
the most disgraceful journey
on which i’ve ever been
the last time that i travelled on
the boat train
i had a couple of drinks in town
a few more at the port
i puked up on the gangway
but some kind folks helped me board
they helped me to a table
poured whiskey down my throat
they sat me at a table
and i lost my watch and coat
first we drank some whiskey
then we drank some gin
then we drank tequila
i think that’s what did me in
then we drank some brandy
and the women had a dance
the steward then announced
that we could play the game of “chance”
we crowded round the table
with our money in our hands
i ended up on the other side
without a penny in my pants
i woke up in the toilet
when we got to holyhead
the doors were all a-banging
and i wished that i was dead
then we went through customs
a couple of credited thugs
first they looked for [bombs] and joints
then they looked for drugs
stuck a flashlight up my -ss
told us where there’s jobs
said “f-ck off” now paddy
so i headed for [the s]moke
on the boat train
(or then we went through customs
with a couple of crazy thugs
first they looked for [bombs] and joints
then they looked for drugs
stuck a flashlight up my -ss
told some irish jokes
said “f-ck off now, paddy”
so i headed for [the s]moke
on the boat train )
we got on board the train
and then we had a drink or two
started playing poker
but the booze ran out at crewe
some people started sleeping
others looked for duty free
some b-st-rd started singing
“the little cottage by the lee”
he then sang “paper roses”
“boolavogue” “eileen aru”
somebody started slagging off
the pakis and the jews
first i found some whiskey
then i found some gin
i sat down in the corner
and i read the daily news
first i drank the whiskey
then i drank the gin
i tried to make the toilet
and i broke my f-ckin shin
next thing that i knew
i was in london in the rain
staggering up the platform
off the boat train
