Rolling Stock

Another week another rolling stock function,
Sit and watch the points change
at Willesden Junction,
Logging my numbers in a little black book.
Don't care about comments,
or all the dirty looks
With Oyster cards it’s very hi-tech,
Still using the map designed by Harry Beck.
(Obsessed with) Rolling Stock,
(My life is) Rolling Stock
With my book in hand it’s my chance to shine,
Waiting at Acton Town for the Piccadilly Line,
Whistling at the depot, signal turns to green,
Red '38 stock a sight to be seen.
The Aldwych branch line,
so much for us to mourn,
Heart skips a beat
when I hear the shunting horn,
(I hear that) Rolling Stock,
(I log that) Rolling Stock
With escalators there really is no contest,
Stratford the shortest and Angel the longest,
Standing at the top at such a great height,
Rules and regulations, always stand on the right,
It's about our safety, all of the time,
But don't grab that handle, it's a £200 fine.
(Don't mess with) Rolling Stock,
(Respect the) Rolling Stock
With Earls and Barons, it's all so regal,
Don't look for Down street,
closed with state approval
Staff use the tannoy, keeping everyone informed,
Even down in lift shafts and deep level platforms.
Into Cockfosters, announcement loud and clear,
Passengers alight, train terminates here.
(I love that) Rolling Stock,
(My life's just) Rolling Stock
It’s the end of the line
We’ve hit the buffers
We all go home
And they close the shutters
