Robyn Hitchcock - I often dream of trains

I often dream of trains when I'm alone
I ride on them into another zone
I dream of them constantly
Heading for paradise
Or Basingstoke or Reading

I often dream of trains when I'm awake
They ride along beside a frozen lake
And there in the buffet car
I wait for eternity
Or Basingstoke or Reading

I often dream of trains till it gets light
The summer turns to winter overnight
The leaves fall so suddenly
The sun sets at four o'clock
Exactly what I'm dreading

I often dream of trains when I'm with you
I wonder if you dream about them, too
Maybe we'll meet one night
Out in the corridor
I'm waiting for you, baby

Baby baby baby

Very Syd Barrettish

[ExclaimationPoint27]

I just heard this song today and never want to listen to any other song ever

@Raddlesby

I dunno man. The two songs have aspects in common, that's always going to happen with a shared genre, but a ripoff? I wouldn't go that far. They're in the same time-- so what?

i like trains

[inkymoon]

we all love syd barrett, _ now write something new

[mightyrontor]

@Raddlesby Sometimes the meter seems similar, but beyond that, no, I don't see how it's a "Yes it Is" ripoff.

@PaintedTeleportation

Listen to the two, one after the other, and say it's not the same. Troll.

@Raddlesby yes - you clearly cannot tell beautiful from beautiful apart :)

[Raddlesby]

Am I the only one who thinks is the Beatles "Yes It Is" ripoff???
