Early in the morning down in carriage 
Joe’s catching flies, little Nicky yawns twice, while Leo’s sound asleep
Now there’s [bad word] on the tracks, and all the men spring to their feet
And now Joe’s barking orders to the staff farther forward, who are shaking in their seats 

The shots ring out
Bang, bang, bang to the belly and the mouth
Of the driver and those [bad word] 
The shots ring out
Bang, bang, bang, and they all fall down
But that ain’t gonna fix a broken train

The train it still ain’t moving, and Leo’s back to sleep
Joe’s keeping quiet, little wine by his side, and he’s coughing in his seat
Well, [bad word] fill the carriage, and all the [bad word] to see
And now clearing his throat, pushing past little Joe, Nicky steps up and makes his speech

The speech rings out
Down, down, down all the passengers shout
Raise your glass, pass on the blame
The speech rings out
Down, down, down, sings the carriage loud 
But that ain’t gonna fix a broken train

Now Leo’s getting restless, he suggests changing seats
Firm hand on the shoulder, and [bad word] looking over; well…Nicky agrees
And Leo’s grinning smugly, he’s got the answers they all need
And taking from his hand, a few diagrams and plans for all the passengers to see

Close the curtains
Pretend we’re moving, and the [bad word] 
Ignore all the [bad word] 
Close the curtains
Pretend we’re moving, and the [bad word] 
And that’s how to fix a broken train
