All Along The Belgrave Line

A Song by Rob Fairbaim©Rob Fairbaim 1989 and 2000

Every morning at the station, you will see them, rain or shine
People on the platforms waiting, all along the Belgrave line
Men and women dressed for business, uni students acting cool
Supervisors, sales assistants, children on their way to school

Board the train at Ferntree Gully, stopping all stations to Box Hill
Everybody's in a hurry, express after Camberwell
Rushing, rushing to the station, running hard to catch that train
Got to reach my destination, missed out on a seat again!

Move up closer that's the caper, rubbing shoulders, bums and knees
Someone's trying to read the paper, mind your elbows if you please
Billboards past the windows flying, schools and houses, cemet'ries
Veggie gardens, washing drying and the mighty MCG

Now I've reached my destination, grab my bag and find my feet
Join the rush to leave the station spilling out into the street
Every morning at the station, you will see them, rain or shine
People on the platforms waiting, all along the Belgrave line
Every morning at the station, you will see them, rain or shine
People on the platforms waiting, all along the Belgrave line
