Bm
I'd like to drop my trousers to the world
       Em                 G      F#m
I am a man of means (of slender means)
      Bm
Each household appliance
                         Em     G F#m
Is like a new science in my town
           Bm
And if the day came when I felt a
natural emotion
     Em                            G
I'd get such a shock I'd probably jump
            F#m
In the ocean

Chorus:
             A
And when a train goes by
            Bm       G
It's such a sad sound
A           Bm      G
It's such a sad thing

I'd like to drop my trousers to the Queen
Every sensible child will know what this means
The poor and the needy are selfish and greedy on her terms
And if the day came when I felt a natural emotion
I'd get such a shock I'd probably jump in the ocean

Chorus:
And when a train goes by
it's such a sad sound
It's such a sad thing

And when I'm lying in my bed
I think about life and I think about death
And neither one particularly appeals to me

And if the day came when I felt a natural emotion
I'd get such a shock I'd probably lie
In the middle of the street and die
I'd lie down and die
