You cannot go to Morrow anymore today
For the train that goes to Morrow is a mile upon its way.

I have been waiting for hours in this train
And I'm riding through Brussels in the rain
Back to Paris more or less confused
By the shadows of tractors on the land
By the changes in my life I pretend
There's a new life waiting there for me
I asked myself what sort of books I'd read
In a train if I ever felt the need
I bought "My life with Picasso"
I think of so many things I like to do
I will go to the Centre Pompidou
There's a still-life part of my life too
Adieu, adieu sweet bahnhof
My train of thoughts is leaving tonight
Now like an arrow we're aimed at Gare du Nord
Between backs of the houses streets like fjords
And the night falls over Paris
So I've come back to the Hotel d'Angleterre
I lay down on a double bed and stare
At the ceiling what a feeling (to be back)
Adieu, adieu sweet bahnhof
My train of thoughts is leaving
Tonight
the Nits: Adieu Sweet Bahnhof |

And I used to ride so fast
Sometimes I wonder
How long will this old train last

Folsom Prison Blues - Johnny Cash
I hear the train a comin'
It's rollin' 'round the bend,
And I ain't seen the sunshine,
Since, I don't know when,
I'm stuck in Folsom Prison,
And time keeps draggin' on,
But that train keeps a-rollin',
On down to San Antone.
When I was just a baby,
My Mama told me, "Son,
Always be a good boy,
Don't ever play with guns,"
But I shot a man in Reno,
Just to watch him die,
When I hear that whistle blowin',
I hang my head and cry.
Peace Train - Cat Stevens (or whatever the fuck he's calling himself these days)
Now I've been smiling lately,
thinking about the good things to come
And I believe it could be,
something good has begun
Oh peace train sounding louder
Glide on the peace train
Come on now peace train
Yes, peace train holy roller
Everyone jump upon the peace train
Come on now peace train

(Waiting for the)Ghost Train - Madness
straw headed woman, and a barrel chested man,
A pocket full of posies with a hat brim full of sand,
Ooh - waiting for the train that never comes,
A dog chasing the tumbleweeds, across the sandy floor,
That drift along the platform, through the ticket office door,
Ooh - waiting for the train that never comes,
Ooh - waiting for the train that never comes,
But don't tell me there's nothing coming, you don't fool me,
I hear the ghost train rumbling along the tracks - set them free,
And I hear them,
It's black and white don't try to hide,
It's black and white don't try to hide,
Time Flies By (When You're the Driver of a Train) - Half Man Half Biscuit
Pugh, Pugh, Barney McGrew
Cuthbert, Dibble, Grubb
Let it happen bass player…
Time flies by when you’re a driver of a train
Speeding out of Trumpton with a cargo of cocaine
I get high when I’m the pilot of a plane
Touching down in Camberwick I’m stoned out of my brain
Under bridges, over bridges, to our destination
Careful with that spliff Eugene, it causes condensation
Every Saturday I get the Chigley skins
And they always smash my windows ‘cos the home side always wins
Yeah, time flies by when you’re a driver of a train
Gonna get me syringes out and crank up once again
Under bridges over bridges to our destination
Careful with that spliff Eugene it causes condensation

U Don't Dans 2 Tekno - Alabama 3
Last train to Mashville Girl, you got on board
Packed up your medicines, left without a word
Now you're strung out in Suburbia, waiting for that call
You just chill out by yourself behind your front door
You lost the plot again, where you are now ain't clear
It's a misty morning memory, the road that brought you here
The special K keeps the chills away with your needle and your spoon
Staring at the wall, sharin' your score with no one
And U don't dans to Tekno anymore
I don't see you under the strobe light on the dance floor
It's been awhile since I saw you ultraviolet smile
And U don't dans to Tekno anymore
Draw Your Brakes - Scotty
Forward and fiaca
Menacle and den gosaca.
Stop that train I want to get on
My baby she's leaving me now.
Did you hear that
Express yourself brother
Stop that train I want to get on
My baby she's leaving me now
And she really first got the train towards another guy
And I really can't believe she's gone and was telling a lie
Good God
And I tell you that the girl has really left I to cry
When she went bye bye
Good gracious
Stop that train I want to get on
Draw your brakes brother I just can't take it
'Cause the girl has really gone
Stop that train I want to get on

The Day We Caught the Train - Ocean Colour Scene
Stepping through the door like a troubadour
Whiling just an hour away
Looking at the trees on the roadside
Feeling it's a holiday
You and I should ride the coast
And wind up in our favourite coats just miles away
Roll a number, write another song
Like Jimmy heard the day he caught the train

I fell asleep
On a late night train
I missed my stop
And I went round again

I can't believe you guys didn't go with "This could be the laaast traaaaain...woo-woooo" ;)
Here's another:

But I didn't care where I was going
