Flashman's in the belfry shouting as loud as he can
Samson's up all night again talking about himself
What a wonderful man
And I'm just wild about Ronnie
And Ronnie's just wild about me
I saw him selling winter coats on the Portobello Road
I thought I bet he wishes he was really working for the nme

When the gang came down here again
And they're phoning up Australia and they call each other names
And they all just wanna look like Richard Hell and Tom Verlaine
Some of my best friends are trains

Now Steven's in a sweat, he just can't read Kerouac books
And Robin's all excuses, says he can't find much but he does look
He goes up to the playfair
He goes down with the stars
He goes wild all the weekend in a girlfriend's car
And he calls me from Chelsea and he says it's such a thrill
And though I don't believe a word but he keeps me talking

Til the gang come down here again
And they're phoning up Australia and they call each other names
And they all just wanna look like Richard Hell and Tom Verlaine
Some of my best friends are trains
