lyrics

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
