If You Miss the Train (Original)
This tribute to Hong Kong's transport system is based on the well-known traditional song, 500 Miles.Lyrics:If you miss the train I'm on ...Don't worry -- this is Hong Kong!There'll be another train arriving right away. Any minute nowYou'll be passing through Tin HauAnd I'll be just ahead at Causeway Bay.Well, I'm riding all alone --But you can get me on my phone.If you want to, we can meet up in Wan Chai.I'll be waiting thereAll among the maidens fair,So we can get together by and by. Lord, I'm one, Lord, I'm two,Lord, I'm three, lord, I'm four,Lord, I'm four minutes ride away from home.I used to be a rover,But my roving days are over.In Hong Kong I can't find any place to roam.There's no need to drive a carWhen you can ride the MTR,But it's not a place where you can be alone.You'll probably have to stand,With your Octopus in hand,But you're never very far away from home.Lord, I'm bound to leave this town,For the air is getting me down.To your hills and harbour, I bid a fond goodbye.I'll be sad to leave this cityBut -- Goodbye to hello Kitty.Farewell, my little shoebox in the sky. If you miss the train I'm on ...Don't worry -- this is Hong Kong!There'll be another train arriving right away.Any minute nowYou'll be passing through Tin HauAnd I'll be just ahead at Causeway Bay.This song is on my fourth CD: "PIGS MIGHT FLY and Other Politically Incorrect Ballads."
