Written by annA rydeR in September 2000

lyrics

I’ll leave my sofa on the pavement and write my goodbyes on the wall
I’ll put my keys in the postbox, push my piano in the swimming pool
I’ll place my records in the freezer, throw my trumpet down the drain
I’ll set fire to the table and take the Sorry-For-Myself Train

WOO-OO, IT’S A SLOW TRAIN AND IT STOPS AT EVERY STATION
WOO-OO, I GOT A TICKET NOW I NEED AN EXPLANATION

For why-yi-yi-yi-yi this hapens to me-e-e-e-ee
Oh I-yi-yi-yi-yi am so unha-ha-ha-happy

I’ll roast my shoes in the cooker and leave my books in the sink
I’ll lose my ‘ccordion in the treetops and then I’ll drink all the drink
I’ll hang my French horn on a lamp-post and leave my money in the rain
I’ll push my bed out of the window and take the Sorry-For-Myself Train

WOO-OO…

For why-yi ...

One foot in front of the other, I’ll walk slowly down the road
Leaving everything on the wrong place and paying nothing that I owed
I’m a mean old meany, I can’t be bothered to explain
I’m just going to the platform to take the Sorry-For-Myself Train

WOO-OO…
