Second Class, Wait Here (1996 Digital Remaster) - Slim Dusty[00:00:00]
Written by:Slim Dusty/Henry Lawson[00:00:01]
At suburban railway stations you may see them as you pass[00:00:08]
There are signboards on the platform saying 'wait here second class'[00:00:13]
And to me the whirr and thunder and the cluck of running gear[00:00:17]
Seems to be forever saying saying 'second class wait here'[00:00:22]
Yes the second class were waiting in the days of serf and prince[00:00:28]
And the second class are waiting they've been waiting ever since[00:00:33]
There are gardens in the background and the line is dark and drear[00:00:37]
Yet they wait beneath a signboard sneering 'second class wait here'[00:00:42]
I have waited oft in winter in the morning dark and damp[00:00:53]
When the asphalt platform glistened underneath the lonely lamp[00:00:58]
And the wind among the poplars and the wires that thread the air[00:01:03]
Seemed to be for ever snarling snarling 'second class wait here'[00:01:07]
Out beyond a further suburb 'neath a chimney stack alone[00:01:13]
Lays the works of grinder brothers with a platform of their own[00:01:18]
As I waited there and suffered waited there for many a day[00:01:22]
Slaved beneath a phantom signboard telling all my hopes to stay[00:01:27]
Ah a man must feel revengeful for a boyhood such as mine[00:01:38]
God I hate the very houses near the workshop by the line[00:01:43]
And the smell of railway stations and the roar of running gear[00:01:48]
And the scornful seeming signboards saying 'second class wait here'[00:01:52]
There's a train with death the driver and it's ever going past[00:01:58]
There will be no class compartments when it all ahout at last[00:02:02]
To that long white jasper platform with an eden in the rear[00:02:07]
And there won't be any signboards saying 'second class wait here'[00:02:11]
Oh no there won't be any signboards saying 'second class wait here'[00:02:17]
