Ocean Colour Scene - The Day We Caught The Train Lyrics
I never saw it as the start
It's more a change of heart
Rapping on the windows, whistling down the chimney pot
Blowing off the dust in the room where I forgot
I laid my plans in solid rock
Stepping through the door like a troubadour, whiling just an hour away
Looking at the trees on the roadside, feeling it's a holiday
You and I should ride the coast and wind up in our favourite coats just miles away
Roll a number
Write another song like Jimmy heard the day he caught the train
Ohh la la, ohh la la
Ohh la la, ohh la la
He sips another rum and coke
Walking like Groucho, sucking on a number ten
Rolling on the floor with the cigarette burns walked in
I'll miss the crush and I'm home again
Stepping through the door with the night in store, whiling just an hour away
Step into the sky in the starbright, feeling it's a brighter day
You and I should ride the coast and wind up in our favourite coats just miles away
Roll a number
Write another song like Jimmy heard the day he caught the train
Ohh la la, ohh la la
Ohh la la, ohh la la
You and I should ride the tracks and find ourselves just wading through tomorrow
And you and I, when we're coming down
We're only getting back and you know I feel no sorrow
Ohh la la, ohh la la
Ohh la la, ohh la la
When you find that things are getting wild, don't you want days like these?
When you find that things are getting wild, don't you want days like these?
When you find that things are getting wild, don't you need days like these?
When you find that things are getting wild, don't you want days like these?
Ohh la la, ohh la la...

Walking like Groucho, sucking on a number ten

One of my favourite songs class
Straight back to 96 when I hear this. Not a hot woman in sight, amazing what fun 4 grown men can have when the music is banging.
Loved it back in the day n still do.
My four year old loves this, walks around the house singing "wo oh nah nah" lol!
Heard this on greatest hits radio today, what a banger!
Fucking Timeless
Like broken stones video
What happened to then lost to the sands of time
BIG TUNE....
2019 and still loving this...ffs. Loads of us were there, drinking up the 90s. Soaking in its amazing glory. Wearing a NaffCo54 bomber. Getting pogs. Swapping footy stickers, at least 3 for a shiny. We were winning, we had momentum. Great summers, great childhoods. Take me back........
Had this on a compilation album at one time. I distinctly remember Divine Comedy - Frog Princess and Donna Lewis - I Love You Always Forever coming before and after this track. It’s crazy how 20+ years later how you can recall what song was either side of a track since you’d listen to it sequentially over and over and over. Good times!
Those are all on '40 Giant Hits 97' but 'The day I caught the train' is on 'Huge Hits 96'. The Ocean Colour Scene track on the first album is 'The Circle'. You had me dig up some old memories there...great memories.
Reminds me of my childhood
lots of stone roses references in this video, At least they were honest on who their influences were.
My ex played dungeons and dragons with these guys before they made it lol
my jay xxxx
I have to harmonise to the end cant help it :/
Classic :D fells like it belongs in a pixar film
Me when this came out: WTF are you on about? Cool song tho...
Me in 2019: Effing hell this is poignant.
I absolutely love this . Love the song and Ocean Colour Scene! You know what the boys, the terrific song abd the settings all remind me of. .? The Beatles. Absolutely and as mad as they were .
Loving this in 2019 who's with me
Hell yea, saw em a cpl years ago, acoustic, blagged backstage lol, was fab, got fotos etc :)
Oh yeah!
Loving it as when it came out 20 odd year ago
Yeee haaa 😎
Eu aqui no Brasil
1996. It was a good fucking time. Say no more.
Can’t believe that this song turns 24 next year
Drinking hooch and smoking 10 embassy!!
Saw OCS at Victorious Festival this summer and they were f***ing fantastic. My BIL sneaked up behind me while I was singing along to this and I had to pretend I was angry at him so he didn’t realise I had tears in my eyes because I love this song so much.
The 90s...great day's man.
Got there disk somewhere 😕
Mooooo Salah moooo salahhh
1996.....que canción mas increíble
2019..... que canción mas increíble
2145.....que canción mas increíble
The late 90s were paradise.
I am the walrus.
The only 90s britpop band i like.
LOVE OCS NEVER GETS OLD
brings back great memories..dentist chair haha
Wow. Major rip from I am the Walrus.
electric scooters in the good old 90s ?
It’s a bit confusing based on listening to the song to tell if they’re American but the way it’s spelt confirms they are English well and the outfits
I listened to this song a lot when I met my current girlfriend. I don’t overplay it so it doesn’t lose the feeling I get from listening to it.
This song does more for than any drug.
Didn't they team up with Lord Paul Weller for a bit, they should have carried that on, good team, 'WhoaWoah LaLaLa !!
Where's the train? All I can see is Razor scooters
ANTHEM THAT'S ALL THERE'S TO BE SAID !!! 🤯
Ye now we’re not to go
My number 1 tune from the fucking auld days.....memories ffs 😁
Moseley boys
Trying very hard to sound like The Beatles! How sad!
Love it sooo much..yeahh ur right Easy T great memories!
90s classic
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO the thumbnail was perfect. Vevo is ruining the videos with the new ones
Life saver.
No mames que buenas rolas las de los británicos!!! lml
I loved the 90’s one of the best times ever
I wish all british turist were like this. That was Dalí's house btw
The sound of this song reminds me of one of the greatest times of my life. Had this on a mixed tape in my car in the summer of 96 and riding the coast with Kate L❤
Knebworth 96
Anyone know where Jimmy went on the train? Would anyone like to speculate? I think he rolled a die and just randomly went to one of six places, possibly to buy another fly-fishing hat.
Classic
Oh i feels like 16 again..
The days smoking a numba ten
You can fucking _taste_ the Beatles in this.
Quadrophenia
I've seen them 3 times live and they're fuckin Awesome. My era.
Very silly hats indeed.
This dude reminds me of Liam Gallagher
Ben Shirman shirts. Pod shoes. Embassy No1's. Kangol hats. Merrydown cider. Great music. 90s were the best.
Quality days. Always appreciate the now it goes to show
This song is chill. I like it.
Totally looks like the cast of Half-Baked before they got jobs and moved into the city.
❤️yes I remember the day❤️......
this is like Oasis if they were even more derivative of the Beatles
June 2019 and still amazing
brill track !
Best of Brittish. And God bless the Queen. Do you see how many country's at the common wealth games choose to keep a union Jack on their flags. Music and Royalty
I heard a lyric. Music is my time machine. Rezerection
Lars aus (kuchenessen) I. L 30 W 30 for „professionals“
2019 awesome
A little bit sounds like Blind Melon to me
Forgot about this gem ✌️👏
Summer has arrived, I want to be out all time, no more studying or drawing, monsters...summer has arrived.
Ah when summers were always hot and long. Miss the 90's!
I am the walrus
Im Still in Moseley
Was with ocean colour scene in the Reebok stadium Bolton they were there to see oasis the lead singer gave me his Armani shades as a present brilliant smoking seesion because I had a hydro shop in Birmingham kingstanding cookery lane no4 with the batcheler pad up stairs from the shop 96 I was selling the Holland fans green as they were living just a cple of miles away from the shop brilliant and I was at T in the park in ballado me & MY crack pipe good old bad auld times wouldn't change about been a teenager in 1985 so was ALWAYS listening to the Mondays cast stone roses and some mellow stuff FLOYD and the doors Fleetwood Mac oasis class of 92
I’m getting such a Beatles vibe from this
57 now and i get so melancholy when i go back to the 90's. The lyrics mean more to me now than then. So proud to be a MANC when this explosion of talent burst on to the scene.
good tune but I’ll take Oasis still.
When musicians were just like me and you. Those were the days.
Totally forgot about Gilligan hats in the 90's till now.
Cool Britannia...
I always thought that the 90's were pretty shit but they were actually quite good. Plus the fact that nowadays is SHIT!
I NEED LYRICS
Ninety-sick, the year i left planet earth!!!
Terrible decade for English music this , they try hard but where`s the soul man ...
This video has nothing to do with the actual lyrics. Prove me wrong.
this reminds me of a day a caught the mega bus
Come to Folkestone again please OCS. Leas Cliff Hall. The Acoustics are absolutely incredible there ♥
Geez I would put your CD 💿 on repeat. Old Skool 😎 rocks. I am 40 next month. Yikes!!!!!
1996 best year ever Britpop , euro 96
Been listening to a lot of 90s music recently. Maybe it’s because it was ‘my era’ but music seemed so much better then
Nah lennon doesnt cone to mind at all.
WOW! AMAZING!
Listen to 0:09 seconds of this song. Then go to 1:42 into I am the Walrus by The Beatles defo inspired by them.
