Mark Knopfler

Well they fly past the ghettos and the factories
Ridin on the gravy train
Leaving all the places that they really ought to brave
Ridin on the gravy train
Past the coal mines black and scarred
Starter houses in the loading yard
On the gravy train, on the gravy train
Theres the lucky little mothers in their luxury cars
Ridin on the gravy train
Never thank each other or their lucky stars
Ridin on the gravy train
Thats worse than ingratitude
Worse than a piss poor attitude
On the gravy train, gravy train
Well the hanger-uppers and the hangers-on
Ridin on the gravy train
Champagne suppers with their daggers all drawn
