Railroad

I've been working on the railroad
All the livelong day
I've been working on the railroad
Just to pass the time away

Can't you hear the whistle blowing
Rise up so early in the morn
Can't you hear the captain shouting
Dinah, blow your horn

Dinah, won't you blow
Dinah, won't you blow
Dinah, won't you blow your ho-o-orn
Dinah, won't you blow
Dinah, won't you blow
Dinah, won't you blow your horn

Someone's in the kitchen with Dinah
Someone's in the kitchen I kno-o-o-ow
Someone's in the kitchen with Dinah
Strummin' on the old banjo!

Singin' fi, fie, fiddly-i-o
Fi, fie, fiddly-i-o-o-o-o
Fi, fie, fiddly-i-o
Strummin' on the old banjo

Someone's makin' love to Dinah
Someone's making love I know-o-o-o
Someone's making love to Dinah
'Cause I can't hear the old banjo

Choo-Choo-Choose Life

The 1996 movie Trainspotting, directed by Danny Boyle and based on a book by Irvine Welsh is all about the drugs. Mostly the heroin, partly the methadone and barely the speed.

While the film was in cinemas many journalist and idiot commented that the film's name was an odd one because "there are no trains in it."

The name of the film is indeed odd and intriguing and arresting, but not because there are no trains in it. The name of the film is indeed odd and intriguing and arresting, because it's a great name. Furthermore there aren't no trains in it.

We're here for you, but we're just slightly less approachable.

What's The Point?
