The clocks are broken And my hair is changing colour now And nothing ever changes on the Great Western But you'll have me believe There's no water in the river But the box kicks and the swallow dives Always makes me feel alive And when the rain falls down It feels like a holiday A holiday And as we cross the bridge We should stay We should stay Twenty years of leaving And you never knew the reasons Two hundered miles of sleepers Taking you nearer To decide what you love And what you don't hate And follow the new bypass to from where you came And when the rain falls down It feels like a holiday A holiday And as we cross the bridge We should stay We should stay
