I’m spending too much time on trains these days….
Hallo, there!
I’m Jackie
Jackie.
Won’t you come and join me in my buffet car?
I’m Jackie
Jackie..
Come and find me here – it really isn’t far.
I’ve got pies and rolls and pastries
lovely salads for the ladies
sandwiches and bacon butties
chocolate bars and skinny lattes..
I’m Jackie
Jackie.
Won’t you come and join me in my buffet car?

Come and find me here – it really isn’t far.
If you come and get a drink
the towns will speed by in a wink
it will feel as if the train is moving
faster than you think..
instead of waiting for a third day
outside Didcot Parkway..
Hallo! It’s me again; I’m Jackie
I’m still waiting in the buffet
My hot buns are getting colder
and the salad’s getting older..
so am I.
so am I.
A person can get lonely and a person can get sad
When no one comes to see her even though the food’s not bad
Do you have to read your paper? Do you have to surf your phone?
Do you really have to leave me here alone?
I’m Jackie

Come and find me here – it really isn’t far.
It might be the beginning of a steamy new affair..
I’m just sitting here and plaiting pasta pieces in my hair..
It’s at least another two hours before we get anywhere..
Won’t you come and join me in my buffet car?
We could have sex behind the counter
while the coffee maker bubbles
and the microwave heats up..
I’m sure I could make room
if I just moved the paper cups..
Nobody would notice because nobody is here
they’re all bloody sitting gazing at their bloody little screens
drinking bloody Costa coffee, eating sandwiches from Pret
sending bloody stupid messages to girls they’ve never met..
I could be dancing on the counter with a knife between my teeth
trampling the coffee spoons and sugar with my feet..
playing my maracas with a lethal urban beat..
and none of you would notice..
No, none of you would notice..
I’m Jackie
