Train Station Carpark Songtext

The M25

My dad is a businessman he works in the city
He takes the train up and if he's tired then he's busy
He has no time to play his guitar
He says he needs rewards for getting this far
My mum was born a girl but now she's a woman
She guards our house with lightening
And keeps the clean children
She used to play the guitar
She could play the house of the rising sun

My family's all over the country
No pick up for me

I'm here till my dad breaks free of the M25
Oh the M25
Oh the M25
It's a ring road round London
The M25
My granny lost her lover in the last days of December
60 years they bound together but now it's loose tether
Tennis and formula one
She likes us to visit more than just on Sundays
My granddad was a soldier racing through the desert Africa
Found himself a love for life in a train station
Offered to carry her bags
They were empty going home for Christmas

My family's all over the country
No pick up for me

I'm here till my dad breaks free of the M25
Oh the M25
Oh the M25
It's a ring road round London
The M25

Sitting next to her
Driving in her car
Through Johannesburg suburbia I came this far
To spend some time with distant family
She says she's tired and she can?t sleep

My family's all over the country
No pick up for me

I'm here till my dad breaks free of the M25
Oh the M25
Oh the M25
It's a ring road round London
The M25
The M25
The M25
The M25

It's a ring road round London, the M25
