Freight Train / Pains, by Pok the Bard.Album: AnthologyFREIGHT TRAIN / PAINSFreight train coming in from the eastWhere it's going is where I care the leastWhispered messages that I did not hearTake me to the place that my body needsI don't know what's happeningI hope I can eat todayJudge and all his courtiers looking down upon meThey say: this is the cripple that wants to be freeHe says we owe it to him, it's in his heritageWants to know when we're going to let him out of his cerebral cageJustice should be seen toLet's put him awayWell thank God for thatThey've split the sceneI was beginning to think I was lostGotta get back into normal livingPlug in that TV screenGonna pull myself togetherGonna have a cool bourbon on iceAfter all things like that don't occurThink of the childrenIt ain't niceListen son you've had you're funDon't go acting on the runStop wasting time around hereYou want to live, you want to giveYou want to cut above the restGo on out and get itTo the topSome people say I left my soul riding on that freight trainI'm inclined to agreeIt has affected my whole brainDon't listen to authorities that claim they've sussed it allKeep on driving on your own trackTake care they don't make you fallTake care they don't make you fallTake care they don't make you fallTake care they don't make you fallDon't let the bastards grind you downTake care they don't make you fallTake care they don't make you fallMusic and lyrics by Simon Miller.This arrangement by Pok and Maxx Damage.Recorded, engineered, produced and mastered at Wud Records Studio One, uk, 26th April 2017.Remixed and remastered at Wud Records Studio One, Central Europe, April 2025.Copyright © 2025 Wud Records.Copyright ℗ 1983 Pok Songs/Explicit Music.Performers:Pok: acoustic guitar, electric guitars, vocalsMaxx Damage: bassFun 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.See also:https://www.wudrecords.co.uk/artists/pok/https://www.wudrecords.co.uk/artists/pok/anthology/https://wudrecords.bandcamp.com/track/freight-train-painshttps://www.explicitmusic.co.uk/lyrics-information/pok-bard/anthology/freight-train-painshttps://www.youtube.com/@poktv6148/videoshttps://www.facebook.com/pokthebardhttps://pookofpok.blogspot.com/https://pokthebard.uk/https://linktr.ee/pokthebard
