The Astral Tramways of England |
Illuminated signs wink and blink, from the astral tramways of England |
Pleasure-beach and promenade, slow faded deco dreamland |
Suburban galaxies gather dust, on roller coaster coastline |
Street lamps and stars, street lamps and stars |
Retro modern bungalow, funland, sunny dispositions |
Rapid glide down Golden Mile, lanterns, slides and vista visions |
We travel by train, travel by tain |
(We travel by train) |
Silent days and circus nights, saxophones and clowns |
Sugar candy, ice-cream cones, bi-planes way up in the clouds |
(Up in the clouds) |
But we travel by train, travel by tain |
Through the astral tramways of England |
Dan Dare and Digby, uniformed and gone |
Frank’s studio in action, buzzing in the great beyond |
I’m dreaming (I'm dreaming) |
1955, factory fortnight, workers playtime, on parade |
Family favourites, in town tonight, penny-wise in bright arcades |
Bright arcades, bright arcades |
The astral tramways of England |
Astral tramways of England |
Phosphorescent trails of fireworks, future style guitars |
Experimental bathing suits, bright lights and girls and cocktail bars |
We travel by train, travel by tain |
(We travel by train) |
(We travel by train) |
On the astral tramways of England |
