  • Compact Disc (CD) + Digital Album

    We all need to cut down on our plastic use, so the CD version of the album comes in an eco-friendly card sleeve printed with a retro design.

    Smaller, lighter and better for the environment than a traditional jewel case. What's not to like? We've ditched the shrink-wrap too.

lyrics

This is a song about a train called the Clansman. Now the Clansman was a train that used to run from Inverness down into London town. A big old yellow & blue 47 diesel engine, kicking out black smoke, and 12 mismatched British rail carriages. All thundering through the highland glens.

Oh-ho do you hear that lonesome sound?
Oh-ho do you hear that lonesome sound?
Well the Clansman’s headed through the pass
Today she’s London bound

One day I’m going to ride that train, take it right the way down the line
One day I’m going to ride that train, take it right the way down the line
And I’ll walk those gilded pavements
In that land of honey and of wine

There’s leaden smoke across the sky, there’s puddles on the ground
There’s leaden smoke across the sky, there’s puddles on the ground
The Clansman’s headed through the pass
Today she’s southward bound

Oh-ho do you hear that lonesome sound?
Oh-ho do you hear that lonesome sound?
Well the Clansman’s headed through the pass
Today she’s London bound

Two-thousand good strong diesel horses please take me away
Two-thousand good strong diesel horses please take me away
The Clansman’s headed through the pass
She’s London Bound today

Oh-ho do you hear that lonesome sound?
Oh-ho do you hear that lonesome sound?
Well the Clansman’s headed through the pass
Today she’s London bound

Oh-ho do you hear that lonesome sound?
Oh-ho do you hear that lonesome sound?
Well the Clansman’s headed through the pass
Today she’s London bound
