Well hey 'gin Where've you bin My God What've you done? It looks bad You better fix it quick Hey 'gin you been up to your usual tricks? Pain has gone but the memory it lingers. The day the window took a bite out of Virginia's fingers Well hey 'gin Did ya scream and shout? Too bad But nobody about ya Hey 'gin You much braver than me You didn't even ask for any sympathy Pain has gone but the memory it lingers. The day the window took a bite out of Virginia's fingers Will it stop her drinking? I don't think so Will it stop her talking? No No No No No No No No No No No No No No No No Will it start her working? I don't think so But Virginia, we love you so Well hey 'gin Where've you bin My God What've you done? It looks bad You better fix it quick Hey 'gin you been up to your usual tricks? Pain has gone but the memory it lingers. The day the window took a bite out of Virginia's fingers The day the window took a bite out of Virginia's fingers The day the window took a bite out of Virginia's fingers The day the window took a bite out of ...... Virginia Virginia's fingers

I wanna tell you 'bout a sentimental little friend of mine Pulls out of Leeds from platform 9 Usually late, has to be said British Rail why d'you have to get me out of bed? To go riding on the 8:16 Slippin' and slidin' on the 8:16 No laughin', you're in a dream The guard and the driver they make a perfect team Pulling out of Leeds past Armley jail Sitting in a smoker the air's so stale Doin' my best not to inhale Wanna get there quickly but we're going like a snail Go riding on the 8:16 Slippin' and slidin' on the 8:16 No lovin',you know what I mean The guard and the driver they make a perfect team Woo woo - the 8:16 Woo woo - the 8:16 Woo woo - the 8:16 Coming to the end of this mystery tour I think we stopped at Pudsey but I'm not quite sure When I get off I think it's so strange Realising paradise is Bradford Interchange Go riding on the 8:16 Slippin' and slidin' on the 8:16 No talkin', know what I mean The guard thinks he's Torvill and the driver thinks he's Dean See you later on the 5:15 - woo woo See you later on the 5:15 - woo woo See you later on the 5:15 - woo woo See you later
