about
Fueled by fiery guitars, urban voodoo drums, furiously pumping bass and anxiously wailing storylines, Eastbound Subway Train is speeding up to the seedier sides of metropolitan cities.
If you’re a fan of The Ramones and The Clash or Rancid and Social Distortion and punk rock greats alike, Daggerplay’s ´Eastbound Subway Train´ will be a track to add to your playlist.
Straight out of the gate this song gets your blood pumping and your mind racing.
lyrics
Feeling forsaken by Jesus, feeling forsaken by God
With a bag of Special Brew
on the eastbound subway train
Look around, look around
you´re in a heartbreak town
Look around, boy, look around
no luck here for you to be found
On the eastbound train, on the eastbound train
trying to drink my troubles away
On the eastbound train, on the eastbound train
watching tall dark buildings fading into gray
while riding on the eastbound subway train
Always going somewhere but not home
Ended up in Walthamstow
Did I think streets could be paved with gold?
Found the ones soaked with cheap alcohol
Look around, look around
you´re in a heartbreak town
Look around, boy, look around
no luck here for you to be found
On the eastbound train, on the eastbound train
dreaming of sterling silver rain
On the eastbound train, on the eastbound train
losing my faith for hope and grace
on the east bound subway train
This city is too cold for a small town boy
like me
Don´t wanna sell my soul, it´s all I´ve got
to keep
Back and forth I go
same shit, different day
Wish I was wise enough to know
I just can´t go on this way
On The eastbound train, on the eastbound train
praying credit from Heaven to make my day
On the eastbound train, on the eastbound train
reflection of myself fading away
On the eastbound train, eastbound train
On the eastbound train, on the eastbound train
Out of place on the eastbound subway train
Out of luck on the eastbound subway train
Out of time on the eastbound subway train

Raw and hooky as heck, “Disaster Preparedness Coloring Book” is all classic, ragged indie sonics and rock-solid melodies. Bandcamp New & Notable Jun 3, 2023
The Philly rock juggernaut's debut LP is finally here, an electric rallying cry led, as always, by Tina Halladay's powerful voice. Bandcamp New & Notable May 10, 2017
This Pittsburgh band's gloriously messy mash-up of post-punk, garage rock, and shoegaze is snotty enough to be considered plain old punk. Bandcamp New & Notable Jun 2, 2022
