I was meant to be resting and chilling.
In fact, I was resting and chilling, having a day off from FAWMing.
But then I get a message from someone listening to the songs on a train from Brighton... the title was just too good to pass by.
She's on the train from Brighton
That little girl I adore
Still don't know why she went there
What was she hoping for
Did she find it in The Lanes
Or underneath the pier
Did he buy her fish and chips
Pickled eggs and beer
She's on the train from Brighton now
She says she's coming home
She promised me a stick of rock
I hope that she's alone
On the train from Brighton
She's on the train from Brighton
She's on the train from Brighton
She says that she's ok
She'll need a little rest she says
She's had a tiring day
She met a bad man in The Lanes
Who took her on the pier
He made her buy him fish and chips
Cigarettes and beer
She's on the train from Brighton
She's says it rained all day
I saw it on the news and now
I don't know what to say
I trusted her before she went
I see no reason why
I shouldn't trust when she's back
I've never known her lie
She's on the train from Brighton now
She says it will wash off
She says it's not a real tattoo
She's sure it will wash off
On the train from Brighton
She's on the train from Brighton

Quite a story you spun, from just one message! Like a small movie, nice narrative arc and everything. And well-delivered, you have an engaging, energetic style, that has a way of keeping the listener riveted to the tune!
