Does This Train Stop on Merseyside?Paulie: "I've not told anyone this before 'cause it's embarrassing; but when we played at the Garage in London I had a bit of a moment when the crowd sang the whole of the first and second chorus to this. I had a Peel moment and shed a bit of a tear on stage…being in London and hearing all those people sing about where I come from was a mega experience."

Ian: "I'll never forget the afternoon I wrote it in me little flat, I just had these four chords and played it to Genevieve when she got in. It's the song that put Amsterdam on the map, people love that song wherever they're from…it doesn't feel like my property any more and that's great."

McKenzie's soul lies above the ground in that
pyramid near Maryland (Street)

Easyjet is hanging in the air
takin' everyone to everywhere

See the slave ships sailing into port
the blood of Africa is on every wall

Now there's a ley line runs down Mathew Street
it's giving energy to all it meets

Hey does this train stop
does this train stop on Merseyside?


Alan Williams in the Marlboro' Arms
giving his story out to everyone

Famine boats are anchored in the bay
bringing in the poor and desperate

Hey does this train stop
does this train stop on Merseyside?


Boston babies bouncing on the ground
The Riggers beamin' out to every town

Can't conceive what those children done
guess there's a meanness in the soul of man

Yorkshire policemen chat with folded arms
while people try and save their fellow fans

Why don't you remember?
