coal train robberies

Singer:costello, elvis

yesterday's coal train came to rest in the bitter

cutting

and as the signals took an age to change it was

easy pickings

so you go to the movies where they smash it up

you want to feel your heart pumping it makes

you feel good

all through the karaoke girls were squealing

the hits

as another mercedes-benz gets blown to bits

while all the time in the camptown theatres

of piccadilly

they're going to throw a black-face minstrel

show for the barefoot children

that they're always selling

they'll say it's quaint" as the guilty ones faint
