Gravy Train Lyrics by Splinter

The Place I Love

1974

Even though you're in my circle
Man, you act like you were something else, yeah
Baby, you're no special person
Better get a tighter hold of yourself, yeah

With your "I'm so very pretty" attitude towards this city
Baby, someone's gonna bring you down
I said, stand in a line and wait for the gravy train, yeah

Well you're working on the top floor
That don't mean you own the whole shebang, yeah
You got nothing on your arm
That says you sit while everybody else stands, yeah

You need someone who can take you, turn you over
Maybe make you like you've never been made before
I said, stand in a line and wait for the gravy train, yeah

(Gee, I'm gonna try now) No one can help you
(Gee, I'm gonna try now) Nobody cares
(Gee, I'm gonna try now) Nobody wants you
(Gee, I'm gonna) Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah

When you wake up in the morning
Do you ever wonder where you're at, yeah
As you stare down on the city
From your multi-storied council flat, yeah

I said, bye bye bye bye baby, you been up there too long
Maybe all those clouds are passing through your head
I said, stand in a line and wait for the gravy train, yeah

I said, bye bye bye bye baby, you been up there too long
Maybe all those clouds are passing through your head
I said, stand in a line and wait for the gravy train, yeah
I said, stand in a line and wait for the gravy

Wait for the gravy train
Wait for the gravy train
Wait for the gravy train
Wait for the gravy train
Wait for the gravy train
