8/The Madras Bombay Line
Lyrics and Music by Danny Paradise and Nadia Deleye
Here we go again on ‘The Madras Bombay Line’
Some they didn’t make it
Though many others tried
Some they just stayed at home
Worried and weeped and sighed
Got on a train, didn’t have no fare but I rode some
My Angels told me I could have a chair, I rode some...
Hey you dreamers do exactly what you’ve got to do,
To make that dream a part of you...
The conductor told me...
‘“Got no money, can’t ride this time...”
He said “Son, you’ve go to exit The Madras Bombay Line!”
Got on a train, I didn’t have no fare, I rode some...
My Angels told me I could have a chair, I rode some...
We rode some!
I showed the conductor my guitar
On ‘The Madras Bombay Line’...
I said that “I could play some tunes...”
He said “Son that could be fine...
Bring some joy to these brothers and sisters here,
And for a moment in time make all their troubles disappear...
The Stars and the Wind can be our guide
The path of Thunder and Lightnin’ by our side...”
These people they didn’t need no joy
They were tapped in all the time...
And their smiles lit up the world on ‘The Madras Bombay Line’...
Take a chance and find that path across your boundary line!
Got on a train, I didn’t have no fare, I rode some
My Angels told me I could have a chair, I rode some
We rode some...
It all happened on one night on ‘The Madras Bombay Line’,
Dreams they flowed like rivers as the world she passed on by...
Hey you dreamers do exactly what you’ve go to do
To make that dream a part of you...
Got on a train, I didn’t have no fare, I rode some
My Angels told me I could have a chair, I rode some...
Come and ride on the train, ride on the train with me,
Come and go to the end of the line with me,
Take a chance on a path and cross your boundary line,
What anybody told you don’t matter this time
Come and ride on a train ride on a train with me
The Stars and the Wind can be our freedom guide,
The Path of Thunder and Lightnin’ by our side
We can ride, ride to be free
What anybody told you don’t matter this time!
