We went to the room and we bolted the door
The bass from the jukebox was coming through the floor
And out through the walls we could still hear the roar of the trains
Was this all the comfort we got for our sins
No candles, no waiters, no soft violins
The dirty electric convector plugged into the mains
I had wanted much more for the first night with you
But the Railway Hotel was the best I could do
I knew the Savoy would have suited you well
But the best I could do was the Railway Hotel
Away in the sky were the lights of a jet
Burning in the night like a slow cigarette
A lamp in the street threw a soft silhouette on the wall
And though it was crumbling and run down and dead
A chair and a sink and an old single bed
The love we began and the things that we said I recall
I had wanted much more for the first night with you
But the Railway Hotel was the best I could do
I knew the Savoy would have suited you well
But the best I could do was the Railway Hotel

We w[D]ent to the r[A7]oom and we b[D]olted the door
The b[E]ass from the jukebox was c[A7]oming through the floor
And o[D]ut through the w[A7]alls we could st[D]ill hear the r[G]oar of the tr[D]ains
[C] [D] [G] [D]
Was th[D]is all the c[A7]omfort we g[D]ot for our sins
No c[E]andles, no waiters, no s[A7]oft violins
The d[D]irty el[A7]ectric conv[D]ector plugged [G]into the ma[D]ins [C]
[D] I had wanted much m[A]ore for the first night with y[D]ou
But the Railway Hot[G]el was the best I could d[D]o [A7] [D]
I knew the Sav[A]oy would have suited you w[D]ell
But the best I could d[G]o was the Railway Hot[D]el [A7] [D]
[G] [D] [C] [D] [G] [D]
Aw[D]ay in the s[A7]ky were the li[D]ghts of a jet
B[E]urning in the night like a s[A7]low cigarette
A l[D]amp in the str[A7]eet threw a s[D]oft silhou[G]ette on the w[D]all
[C] [D] [G] [D]
And th[D]ough it was cr[A7]umbling and r[D]un down and dead
A ch[E]air and a sink and an [A7]old single bed
The l[D]ove we beg[A7]an and the th[D]ings that we s[G]aid I rec[D]all [C]
[D] I had wanted much m[A]ore for the first night with y[D]ou
But the Railway Hot[G]el was the best I could d[D]o [A7] [D]
I knew the Sav[A]oy would have suited you w[D]ell
