The train that stopped on Merseyside

Pele, Amsterdam or a solo Ian Prowse
Music that grips you for hours and hours

And now a greatest hits after 20 or so years
It’s time for you all to open your ears

Some old classics some brand new songs
 If you buy this great album you can’t really go wrong

Rebel songs sang with a wee bit of malice
All great old classics like Raid the Palace

A song for Rosalita, your new daughter is she
Is there a god? There just may be

A great thing for a Dad to do
Her little toes and hands are a part of you

The list of great songs we could go on and on
The beautiful song Love Phenomenon

Songs about government Thatcher, Cameron or Tony
Always seem relevant the words you’re a phoney

We all have our favourites we know you have yours
And when you play them they receive great applause

Home of course is your favourite choice
Sang with great passion with that wonderful voice

It might not be on the album but I really must say
I love the song about Marvin Gaye

John Peel was one of your biggest fans
A great honour for you as he was the man

You’ve played with Elvis a wonderful fellow
I don’t mean Presley but do mean Costello

A tribute to Joe Strummer we could not miss
The wonderful song that is Joe’s Kiss

Christy Moore folk legend was even inspired
By does this train stop on Merseyside?

Your live performances are always great class
A drink and a song and a right good old laugh

Honest music played with great passion
Doing your thing not just following fashion

When you sing in your home town you must take great pride
As you do make the trains stop on Merseyside

Irish sea sessions have become part of your year
Is that for the music or just the good beer?

Stage shared with Damo, man is he big
Great Irish music and a bit of a Jig

So I look forward to your album release
I’m sure it will be another master piece

If I knew the full play list this rhyme would be long
As I could mention in it every song

Best wishes to you and good luck with tour
A full set of your best songs who could want more
