Freight Train / Pains, by Pok the Bard.
Album: Anthology

FREIGHT TRAIN / PAINS
Freight train coming in from the east
Where it's going is where I care the least
Whispered messages that I did not hear
Take me to the place that my body needs
I don't know what's happening
I hope I can eat today

Judge and all his courtiers looking down upon me
They say: this is the cripple that wants to be free
He says we owe it to him, it's in his heritage
Wants to know when we're going to let him out of his cerebral cage
Justice should be seen to
Let's put him away

Well thank God for that
They've split the scene
I was beginning to think I was lost
Gotta get back into normal living
Plug in that TV screen
Gonna pull myself together
Gonna have a cool bourbon on ice
After all things like that don't occur
Think of the children
It ain't nice

Listen son you've had you're fun
Don't go acting on the run
Stop wasting time around here
You want to live, you want to give
You want to cut above the rest
Go on out and get it
To the top

Some people say I left my soul riding on that freight train
I'm inclined to agree
It has affected my whole brain
Don't listen to authorities that claim they've sussed it all
Keep on driving on your own track
Take care they don't make you fall
Take care they don't make you fall
Take care they don't make you fall
Take care they don't make you fall
Don't let the bastards grind you down
Take care they don't make you fall
Take care they don't make you fall

This arrangement by Pok and Maxx Damage.

Recorded, engineered, produced and mastered at Wud Records Studio One, uk, 26th April 2017.

Pok: acoustic guitar, electric guitars, vocals

Fun Facts:
The freight train described in this song is the exact same train as the one described in Cunning and Tricks, another song on the Anthology album.
One of Pok’s very early songs, this one was mined from his book Golden Temple and the Laughing Sun during an outbreak of archeology.
The entire song was recorded and produced very quickly one day, when other things had actually been planned.
As the whole thing went fast, there was still time for those other things.
Sven was not available on that day, so there are no drums.
The acoustic guitar is George's Yamaha, fitted with 9-guage electric strings.

-LYRICS-

I used to have 20/20 vision
Now my sight has gone bad
Now my hair is turning grey
It’s not like what I had

Now I’m taking too many pills
No one can tell me why
My body is now slowing down
But I still gotta try

So then my mama comes up and tells me
THAT’S JUST PART OF GETTING OLDER
She then continues and says to me
Just have a little faith on your shoulder
THAT’S JUST PART OF GETTING OLDER

I feel more aches and pains
As I wake up everyday
I’m becoming more forgetful
And that’s not the way

I got crows feet by my eyes
I don’t like what I see
I think back to when I was young
What happened to poor old me?

So then my mama comes up and tells me
THAT’S JUST PART OF GETTING OLDER
She then continues and says to me
Just have a little faith on your shoulder
THAT’S JUST PART OF GETTING OLDER

-SOLO-

Sometimes you just got to let things be
Even though the world has gotten colder
I may be confused, but I can now see
Just don’t let it hit you like a boulder

So then my mama comes up and tells me
THAT’S JUST PART OF GETTING OLDER
She then continues and says to me
Just have a little faith on your shoulder
THAT’S JUST PART OF GETTING OLDER

So then my mama comes up and tells me…

Ooooooldeerr….. oh no!

Ooooooldeerr….. oh no!

Ooh, THAT’S JUST PART OF GETTING OLDER


That's Just Part Of Getting Older (STOP END)

* For DIY musicians:

Looking to grow your fanbase? Here's a proven strategy for success. It's a bit time-consuming at first because you need to work at it often. However, the awesome results will make it worth your while:

http://www.wudrecords.co.uk/miscellaneous/be-discovered-on-social-media

That article was published in March 2017. While some of the links may no longer work, the theory absolutely will. Try it for yourself!

* Unfortunately...

Due to brexshit, broken britain, rip-off britain, corruption, lies and bias in the media, bigotry, racism, intolerance, polarisation, the fact that some of our family members would not be allowed to remain post-brexit, state-sponsored child trafficking (yes, that's right, we said it - it's pretty shocking, start reading from here if you don't believe it: https://forced-adoption.com/), an increasing sense of frustration and exasperation, and general total weariness of being treated with nothing but derision, ignorance and contempt by the entire shebang since the early 80s, we decided enough was enough and moved our entire operation from brexeter in the uk to begin our grand brexodus in 2017. We are now brefugees, living in brexile very near the border of the Czech Republic, Austria and Germany. If you live in (the crumbling remains of) the uk, do yourself a favour and leave. The upgrade in life quality will blow your mind.

* What do we stand for as a label?

We support all independent musicians who are doing something we find interesting. Our team members all have formal music education qualifications.

We are against corporate brainwash muzak, their puppet friends in the mass media, and many other corporate activities. We will fight their desecration of music until either it stops or we die. 

We believe in helping others in the face of corrupt laws and a broken system. We are pro democracy, green energy and free speech.

We're politically liberal. We cannot support the republicans, maga or gun violence in the usa. We don't see there's any real difference, other than in name, between the christian far right in the USA and the taliban in Afghanistan.

In the uk we are broadly pro LibDem/Green/Labour/SNP. We are VERY anti-tory, bnp, ukip, and any of their friends and associates. We have no trust at all in the uk right wing press monopoly and the bbc. Beware the bbc and its claims of neutrality. It is the propaganda mouthpiece of the tory party. It even charges a propaganda tax called the licence fee. But we like Test Match Special and Radio 6, so does that make us hypocrites...? Hmm.

We support independence for Scotland, Wales, Northern Ireland and Cornwall. We support the individual and the underdog. We are anti-putin and his war, and pro-Ukraine.

Please notice the careful use of capitals. Capital letters imply respect!

We're only interested in the colour of your soul. Not your skin, hair or socks.

We like cricket! Most of us support Somerset County Cricket Club.
