Meet Me at the Depot (original version)

from Acting Thick for Money (volume 2) by The Wind-up Birds

lyrics

Meet me at the depot
We can commandeer a wagon
We can hit the road to London
Seek adventure without caution
Meet me at the depot
Early Sunday morning
We’ll take off without warning
While the city’s sleeping

There is nothing of value here
This is what the angels say
I know you got tired of dreaming
This is what the angels say

They say meet me at the depot
With your hip flask ready
There’s this fire in your belly
And there’s nothing on the telly
Meet me at the depot
We’ll leave notes on the conveyors
For the gaffer and the packers
Tell them not to miss us

There is nothing of value here
This is what the angels say
I know you get tired of dreaming
This is what the angels say

They say meet me at the depot
Promise me your coming
I didn’t plan all this for nothing
I know I’ll be left waiting

Meet me at the depot
We’ll leave notes on the conveyors
For the gaffer and the packers
We’ll tell them not to miss us
Meet me at the depot
With your hip flask ready
There’s this fire in your belly
And there’s nothing on the telly
Meet me at the depot
Early Sunday Morning
We’ll take off without warning
While the city’s sleeping
Meet me at the depot
We can commandeer a wagon
We‘ll hit the road to London
Seek adventure without caution

There is nothing of value here
This is what the angels say
I know you get tired of dreaming
This is what the angels say
You were left on your own
You had nowhere to go
This is what the angels say
You were left on your own
You had nowhere to go
This is what the angels say
They say
