Branch Line Station

Branch Line Station is a song about geography, culture and public transport.

There's some pictures being hung in county hall
Everybody wants to see
They reckon you can look at them for free

She saw some photos of the pictures on a noticeboard at school
They're coming to a town near you
Try and have some patience in the queue

Watch the crow fly in the blue blue sky, and disappear away
She sees the crow fly, might as well arrive a million miles away

and how would you ever tell?
how would you ever know
and even if you knew about it
how would you ever go?

if you want to get away put your signature on here
and the branch line station might open up again next year

there's a movie being shown
there's a reading being read
there's a concert being played
there's a poem being said

everything is over there
everything is over there
everything is over there
everything is over there

there's some pictures being packed at County Hall
she never saw the show
now it's time for them to go

She saw some photos of the pictures in a local magazine
the most that she could see
the closest she could be

Watch the crow fly in the blue blue sky, and disappear away
She sees the crow fly, might as well arrive a million miles away

Finally, not a second before time
The branch line station might open up again next year
