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
And told a dirty joke
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...

    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 plansin 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

    Oh oh la la
    Oh oh la la
    Oh oh la la
    Oh oh la la

    He sipped another rum and coke
    And told a dirty joke
    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 star bright
    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

    Oh oh la la
    Oh oh la la
    Oh oh la la
    Oh oh la la

    You and I should ride the tracks
    And find ourselves just wading through tomorrow
    You and I, when we're coming down
    We're only getting back
    And you know I feel no sorrow

    Oh oh la la
    Oh oh la la
    Oh oh la la
    Oh oh 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?

    Oh oh la la
    Oh oh la la

  2. S.... B....

    One of my favourite songs class

  3. S.... F....

    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.

  4. S.... m....

    Loved it back in the day n still do.

  5. T.... F....

    My four year old loves this, walks around the house singing "wo oh nah nah" lol!

  6. I.... K....

  7. M.... m....

    Fucking Timeless

  8. n.... ....

  10. k.... a....

    BIG TUNE....

  11. a.... 2....

    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........

  12. g.... ....

    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!

    g.... ....

    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.

  13. P.... m....

    Reminds me of my childhood

  14. s.... ....

    lots of stone roses references in this video, At least they were honest on who their influences were.

  15. C.... B....

    My ex played dungeons and dragons with these guys before they made it lol

  16. J.... G....

  20. C.... S....

    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 .

  21. G.... G....

  24. G.... s....

    Drinking hooch and smoking 10 embassy!!

  25. C.... P....

    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.

  26. L.... M....

  35. B.... S....

    Wow. Major rip from I am the Walrus.

  36. r.... m....

    electric scooters in the good old 90s ?

  37. J.... M....

    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

  38. P.... ....

    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.

  39. L.... P....

    This song does more for than any drug.

  40. A.... J....

    Didn't they team up with Lord Paul Weller for a bit, they should have carried that on, good team, 'WhoaWoah LaLaLa !!

  41. A.... J....

  54. B.... H....

    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❤

  55. s.... ....

    Knebworth 96

  56. S.... A....

    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.

  57. A.... B....

    Classic

  58. S.... R....

    Oh i feels like 16 again..

  59. R.... S....

    P.... T....

  66. D.... J....

  83. c.... C....

    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.

  84. T.... A....

    1996 best year ever Britpop , euro 96

  96. i.... ....

    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.

  98. L.... H....

    WOW! AMAZING!

  99. R.... ....
