Sting - Twenty Five To Midnight Lyrics
Train I ride don't be slow
If your whistle can blow
Fifteen miles down the track
Tell them I'm coming back
Counting poles counting sheep
If your wheels on the line
Were to put me on time
Just a year to the day
Since I went upon my way
To seek my fortune and fame
Be a star, change my name
And that's it more or less
Til this midnight express
I know I can't be late
She'll just go marry Jack
So there's no turning back
And it's 25 to midnight and fifteen miles of track
Band I had got a break
Just one chance we had to take
Told my girl I'd be back
Left her with my friend Jack
New York City for a spell
Things didn't turn out so well
Every dive that we played
We were lucky we got paid
Mr Train driver please
If your speed you increase
Every cent I have now
Will be yours this I vow
And that's it more or less
Til this midnight express
I know I can't be late
Cause she said she won't wait
She'll just go marry Jack
So there's no turning back
And it's 25 to midnight and fifteen miles of track
We called ourselves the Latino Lovers
Hawaiian shirts and top forty covers
I didn't think I could sink this low
When drugs and booze ate all my dough
This isn't how it was meant to be
There's no such thing as a meal that's free
If I was ever to get out alive
I have to get home on time
Train I ride don't be slow
If your whistle can blow
Fifteen miles down the track
Tell them I'm coming back
And that's it more or less
Til this midnight express
I know I can't be late
Cause she said she won't wait
She'll just go marry Jack
So there's no turning back
And it's 25 to midnight and fifteen miles of track
And it's 25 to midnight and fifteen miles of track

Sting Twenty Five To Midnight Comments
This is not on Mercury Falling.
This is an obscure tune which is fantastic.
Thank you.

Don't be slow I won't weep

I’ve definitely heard this song!! As far as it being on the Mercury Falling album, I’m not sure. I have to find my 💿 cd. I do have random Sting cds that have other songs that are not any of his other well known cds. Includes some movie exerts etc.. weird.
It's too bad this wasn't on the U.S. Edition of MERCURY FALLING. The LP certainly needed more upbeat, faster-paced tunes.
Tj todellakin 25
tj25 :)))
Wonderfully infectious kicking and driven by an incessant uptempo rhythm ......
Tj25 2/14
This is on the Greenfingers soundtrack
Idid NOT know this was in "Mercury Falling.."...?? R u sure..?
+AVALON DEJAVU, only on non North American versions. At least in America it appeared as a b side to 'You Still Touch me'
tj25 2/14
sama :)
Great tune, but I must admit. I like the live version a bit better. ThanQ for posting by the way.
This song IS on Mercury Falling, but only on the import versions. The USA version does not have it.
Ooooh no.. Great song . Heat it up Sting. Urgent!
first time I've heard this : )
To Stone Crook:
Then you are listening to the wrong album. This is on it. It's song number 8.
@reddevul1982 Hey man listen to the album, or look at the song list it is their. I know this song only from Mercury Falling
I don't know where you got your info but this is NOT on the Mercury Falling album. I listen to that album every night and have NEVER heard this song on it. Nice try though
@StreetEye1001 that's actually the regular version from the album
Great rhythm to this song, fun to sing along to.
I learned how to play this song on bass today. it was so fun to play!! kinda weird rhythm though: 7/4 xD
Which version of Mercury Falling is this on? I've never heard it, and I'm an AVID Sting fan, and thought I'd heard EVERYTHING. This song is fun -- musically creative and bouncy!
AND THAT'S IT MORE OR LESS...
@Millst0ne i think so. you missed out on a really good song :(
