“Life is a train that stops at no stations; you either jump abroad or stand on the platform and watch as it passes.”
- Yasmina Khadra

LYRICS:
Whoo! Mmm, yeah!

Life’s like a railroad that you travel on,
When there’s one stop here, but the track goes on,
Sometimes they switch, sometimes they bend,
Sometimes they lead you back to the shed,

There's a world outside every shunting yard,
Don’t have to wait for the station guard,
Where the engines steam and engines soar,
Come for the ride, won’t you climb on board?

We won't hesitate,
To open the crossing gate,
Must be on time, can’t delay, hey!

(Chorus)
Life is a railway!
I wanna’ ride it all night long!
If you're goin' by train,
Well, I wanna’ drive it all night long!

Through Knapford, Tidmouth & Vicarstown,
It’s in my fire, and it’s all around,
You’ve got a friend t’il the very end,
Down every hill, and around’ every bend,

From Crovan’s Gate to those mountain heights,
The Viaduct to them countrysides,
Not slowing down on this track again,
I won’t hold back, I'm full steam ahead!

Well there's no load I can't haul,
When rails are rough, don’t lose control,
I’ll be there, just around the bend,
Just tell ‘em we’re the drivers!

(Repeat Chorus)

A-gimme’, gimme’, gimme’, gimme’, yeah!

(Repeat Chorus)

Start pumping those pistons, one puff at a time
(One puff at a time)
May only be made to shunt,
But now, you’re the pride of the line!

Mmm-mmm, yeah!

(Instrumental)

There ain’t no load that you can't haul,
When rails are rough, don’t lose control,
Don’t be scared, goin’ round the bend,
We’re firemen and drivers!

(Repeat Chorus)

A-gimme’, gimme’, gimme’
A-gimme’, gimme’, yeah!

(Repeat Chorus)

C'mon, gimme’, gimme’, gimme’
Gimme’, gimme’, gimme’, yeah!

(Repeat Chorus)

All night long!

Happy November everybody!
Here’s a parody I’m certain you’ll all know - “Life is a Railway,” a parody of “Life is a Highway” from Pixar’s Cars!

As a life-long Cars fan, this song has always been one of my favorites of all time. I have lots of good memories listening to this song on repeat on our “Pixar’s Greatest Hits” CD. But ever since I was a kid, I always imagined a Thomas-themed version of the song. I remember thinking how “HIGHway” could be replaced with “RAILway”, and thinking I was a genius haha.

Well after so many years, I’ve finally been able to make “Life is a Railway” a reality, and I absolutely could not have done it without Joe, AKA Shunting Yard Studios! (@shuntingyard)

The vocals in this song are very high and have tons of harmonies and backing vocals, but Joe was able to record each and every part himself and totally blew me away with his performance once again. We had a ton of fun writing the parody lyrics together, and it was his idea to incorporate “Thomas’ Anthem” in the final chorus.

Since last year, Joe has uploaded a voice acting reel and several excellent covers on his own channel. I highly recommend checking them out and consider commissioning him for voice work and singing!

You can check out Joe’s socials, KoFi, and YouTube channel in the links below. Thank you again a million Joe!
