john schumann and the vagabond crew - second class wait here lyrics
[verse]
at suburban railway stations you may see them as you pass
there are signboards on the window saying, “wait here second class”;
and to me the whirr and thunder and the clunk of running gear
seem to be forever saying, saying “second class wait here”
[chorus]
wait here second class
second class wait here
wait here second class
second class wait here
[verse]
yes the second class were waiting in the days of serf and prince
and the second class are waiting, wе’ve been waiting ever sincе
and the signboards in the background, and the line is bare and drear
yet they wait beneath a signboard, sneering “second class wait here.”
[chorus]
wait here second class
second class wait here
wait here second class
second class wait here
[verse]
i have waited in the winter, in the mornings dark and damp
when the asphalt platform glistened underneath that lonely lamp
and i waited there and i suffered and i waited for many a year
and i slaved beneath a signboard saying, “second class wait here.”
[verse]
oh! a man must feel revengeful for a boyhood such as mine
god! i hate the very houses near the workshop by the line;
and the smell of railway stations and the roar of running gear
and the scornful+sneering signboards, saying “second class wait here.”
[chorus]
wait here second class
second class wait here
wait here second class
second class wait here
[verse]
there’s a train with death for a driver, that is ever going past
there will be no class compartments and we all must go at last;
for the long white jasper platform with an eden in the rear;
and there won’t be any signboards saying + “second class wait here.”
[chorus]
wait here second class
second class wait here
wait here second class
second class wait here
wait here second class
second class wait here
wait here second class
second class wait here
wait here second class
second class wait here
wait here second class
second class wait here
