Who has travelled without tickets on a train
Who has often wished he could pull the chain...
Who has spread newspapers in the aisles
Trading floor-bound flatbed seats, for style
Giving your own self a lot of high-brow flak
For blowing a hundred on a bhagat paperback
Drinking tea or tea whichever arrives first
As if not doing so would make you die of thirst
Sat on the summit of the 3 tier sleeper berth
Guitar in hand and a modicum of self -worth
Bellowing songs just to get noticed by the fair
Young woman that was never really there...
Who has travelled with tickets on a train
Just to sell them and buy cigarettes with the change
Moving across vestibules and carriages without end
Baffling both ticket checking personnel and friends
Who has travelled without tickets on a train
Daydreaming of the homecoming to keep you sane....
