[verse 1]
standing neglected in this smoky shed
i cast my mind back on the life i have led
trains i have pulled, points i have crossed
signals i’ve stopped at, connections i’ve lost

[chorus]
pacifics, atlantics – we’re steaming no more
we’re steadily fading away
so just spare a thought for a rusting a4
as he goes on his permanent way

[verse 2]
my firebox is cracked and my valve gear is choked
and it’s many a year since my boiler was stoked
my conrods have gone, but no one seems to mind
that i lie here and rust with a tender behind

[chorus]
pacifics, atlantics – we’re steaming no more
we’re steadily fading away
so just spare a thought for a rusting a4
as he goes on his permanent way

[verse 3]
i remember the days when i use to have fun
bashing up buffer plates after each run
i’d let off my steam with a h-ll of a sound
and frighten the pants off the folks all around
[chorus]
pacifics, atlantics – we’re steaming no more
we’re steadily fading away
so just spare a thought for a rusting a4
as he goes on his permanent way

[verse 4]
each morning, at seven, i’d get up my steam
my livery shining, my wheels all agleam
then off would roll fireman and driver and me
with two tonnes of coal and a flask of cold tea

[chorus]
pacifics, atlantics – we’re steaming no more
we’re steadily fading away
so just spare a thought for a rusting a4
as he goes on his permanent way

[verse 5]
and now, i just lie here in shame and disgrace
’cause a diesel-electric has taken my place
no culture or breeding, its pedigree sham
its ma was a car and its dad was a tram

[chorus]
pacifics, atlantics – we’re steaming no more
we’re steadily fading away
so just spare a thought for a rusting a4
as he goes on his permanent way
[outro]
so just spare a thought for a rusting a4
as he goes on his permanent way
