about

Fear. Opression. Trains. Non-violence.

lyrics

There's a train coming and I'm tied to the tracks.
There's a train coming and I'm tied to the tracks.
There's a storm brewing and it's too late to get back.
There's a wind blowing and this house will soon collapse.

There's a war starting, but I don't want to fight.
There's a wrong winning, but I'll hold out for the right.
Do you want something, that you know I cannot give?
There's a train you're driving - I've got small time left to live.

I don't know if I'm strong enough to untie these ropes.
I hear you say I've had long enough, it might just be too late.
I don't know if I'm strong enough to untie these ropes.
I hear you say I've had long enough, it might just be too late.

There's a train coming. There's a fast train coming.
There's a train coming. There's a fast train coming.

There's a train coming and I'm tied to the tracks.
There's a train coming and you're there with a knife, standing back.

Rivers Of England image

Rivers Of England Bath, UK

Original yet familiar sounding with occasional echoes of John Martyn and even Nick Drake, Rivers Of England’s lush string and Hammond/Rhodes based sound delivers foot-tapping ear candy aplenty with a spine-tingling powerful vocal on top. The surprises keep coming, not least, supporting The Fall, amusing hospital visits on tour and a regular soundtrack for operating theatre. ... more
