about
East Richmond is a station on the Belgrave Line where the trains just don’t stop. Sometimes life feels a bit like trying to catch the first train outta there...
lyrics
East Richmond
Spend my time doing nothing
I'm doing nothing with my time
Smoking cigarettes and reading newspaper
I guess it's a sunny day outside
Scraping change to buy baked beans
Carpet looks like a beast forsaken by it's god
Trains not stopping East Richmond
That Express is rolling right on through
Trains not stopping East Richmond
That train ain't got time for me or you
Saturday night I was waiting tables
Monday I'll be drinking stolen table wine
Sitting by the river fishing
Contemplating plots I never hatched
Dutch girl she's a back packer
She's up for fun but she don't wanna get attached
Backyards cover up in concrete
Still I gotta pull the weeds from between the cracks
[CHORUS]
Gonna leave you here I have to go now
You know I've bought my final shout
Quit the smokes, met a girl, I got a job now
You know I took my piercing out
It'll take some time to make me something
Gotta do something with my time
Though I know I won't get my bond back
I know I've got a train to catch
[CHORUS]
[CHORUS]
