Train In Vain
Annie Lennox
From the magnificent album Medusa This is a very different cover of The Clash classic often known in U.S. as Train in Vain (Stand by me) [Intro] [Verse 1] They say you stand by your man Tell me something I don’t understand You said you loved me and that’s a fact And then you left me said you felt trapped Well somethings you can explain away But the heartache’s with me till this day [Chorus] Did you stand by me ? No not at all Did you stand by me ? No way. Ooh ooh [Verse 2] All the times that we were close I remember these things the most I’ve seen all my dreams come tumblin’ down I can’t be happy without you around So alone I keep the wolves at bay And there’s only one thing I can say [Chorus] You didn’t stand by me ? No not at all You didn’t stand by me ? No way You didn’t stand by me ? No not at all You didn’t stand by me ? No way [Bridge] You must explain Why this must be? Ooh eee Did you lie When you spoke to me? Ooh eee Did you stand by me? No not at all ooh ooh [Verse 3] Now I got a job but it don’t pay I need new clothes I need somewhere to stay But without all of these things I can do But without your love I won’t make it through Without your love I won’t make it through But you don’t understand my point of view I suppose there’s nothing I can do [Chorus] You didn’t stand by me ? No not at all You didn’t stand by me ? No way You didn’t stand by me ? No not at all You didn’t stand by me ? No way [Verse 4] You must explain Why this must be? Did you lie When you spoke to me? [Outro] Did you stand by me ? No way Did you stand by me ? No not at all Did you stand by me ? No way Did you stand by me ? No not at all ....(to fade out)
