Peace train

[gerbie]

I'm not a big fan, but I do really like this song. It was the 10.000 maniacs cover that put me on track. Funny to know that Cat Stevens has become a muslim afterwards. Could be a good omen for the world. Not all muslims are fanatics.


Cat Stevens - Peace Train

Now I've been happy lately, thinking about the good things to come
And I believe it could be, something good has begun

Oh I've been smiling lately, dreaming about the world as one
And I believe it could be, some day it's going to come

Cos out on the edge of darkness, there rides a peace train
Oh peace train take this country, come take me home again

Now I've been smiling lately, thinking about the good things to come
And I believe it could be, something good has begun

Oh peace train sounding louder
Glide on the peace train oh ah ee ah oh ah
Come on now peace train
Yes, peace train holy roller
Everyone jump on the peace train oh ah ee ah oh ah
Come on now peace train

Get your bags together, go bring your good friends too
Cos it's getting nearer, it soon will be with you

Now come and join the living, it's not so far from you
And it's getting nearer, soon it will all be true

Oh peace train sounding louder
Glide on the peace train oh ah ee ah oh ah
Come on now peace train, peace train

Now I've been crying lately, thinking about the world as it is
Why must we go on hating, why can't we live in bliss

Cos out on the edge of darkness, there rides a peace train
Oh peace train take this country, come take me home again

Oh peace train sounding louder
Glide on the peace train oh ah ee ah oh ah
Come on now the peace train
Yes peace train holy roller
Everyone jump on the peace train oh ah ee ah oh ah
Come on, come on, come on
Yes come on peace train
Yes it's the peace train
Oh ah ee ah oh ah
Come on now peace train
Oh peace train

Quite a difference with my parents who never got beyond Cliff Richard and haven't changed their taste since 1964...

Sinds wanneer heb jij dollartekens in je ogen?! Beetje teveel geld uitgegeven laatste weken?

Re:

[gerbie.livejournal.com]

Ja, veel geld uitgegeven, maar het was meer een waarschuwing, zodat je niet in de problemen komt met de conducteur!

That is a great song. My wife keeps a Cat Stevens tape in the car at all times.

I haven't got anything by him, though I hear his songs occasionally. I just got a huge archives of lyrics, while organizing it, bumped into this one. It is a good song!
