TRAIN IN VAIN

"Train in Vain (Stand by Me)" is a song from the album London Calling (1979) by the British punk rock band The Clash. The song was not originally listed on the album's track listing, appearing as a secret track at the end of the album. This was unintentional however, as the reason for it was that the track was added to the record at the last minute, when the sleeve was already in production. It was the first Clash song to crack the United Sates Top 30 charts and in 2004, the song was ranked number 292 on Rolling Stone magazine's list of the 500 greatest songs of all time.

Say you stand by your man
Tell me something
I dont understand
You said you love me and thats a fact
Then you left me, said you felt trapped
Well some things you can explain away
But my heartaches in me till this day
Did you stand by me
No, not at all
Did you stand by me
No way
All the times
When we were close
Ill remember these things the most
I see all my dreams come tumbling down
I wont be happy without you around
So all alone I keep the wolves at bay
There is only one thing that I can say
You must explain why this must be
Did you lie when you spoke to me
Did you stand by me
No, not at all
Now I got a job
But it dont pay
I need new clothes
I need somewhere to stay
But without all these things I can do
But without your love I wont make it through
But you dont understand my point of view
I suppose theres nothing I can do
You must explain why this must be
Did you lie when you spoke to me?
Did you stand by me
Did you stand by me
No, not at all
Did you stand by me
No way
Did you stand by me
No, not at all
Did you stand by me
No way
