I can think of nowhere 
I would rather be 
Reading morning papers 
Drinking morning tea 
 
She clutches the tray and then we talk just like a kitchen sink play 
Nothing ventured nothing gained living so close to danger 
Even your friends are strangers don't count upon their company 
 
Places for the fingers 
Places for the nails 
Hidden in the kitchen 
Right behind the scales 
 
What do I care I'm wasting fingers like I have them to spare 
Plugging holes in the zuider zee punishing Paul for Peter 
Don't ever trust those meters what you believe is what you see 
 
In my town, there is a raincoat under a tree 
In the sky there is a cloud containing the sea 
In the sea there is a whale without any eyes 
In the whale there is a man without his raincoat 
 
In another country 
With another name 
Maybe things are different 
Maybe they're the same 
 
Back on the train the seven soldiers read the papers again 
But the news it doesn't change swinging about through the creepers 
Parachutes caught on steeples heroes are born but heroes die 
 
Just a few days a little practice and some holiday pay 
We're all sure You'll make the grade Mother of God if You care 
We're on a train to nowhere please put a cross upon our eyes 
 
Take me I'm nearly ready you can take me 
To the raincoat in the sky 
Take me my little pastry mother take me 
There's a pie shop in the sky
