This is just a music video I did as a project
in class to the song Spanish Train by Chris
de Burgh. Its a pretty funny and dramatic
song about the lord and the devil playing
poker for the souls of the dead... well
anyways I uploaded it to present it in class
but I am kinda curious to see what people
think so feel free to comment or rate it or
whatever...
Here are the lyrics:
There's a Spanish train that runs between
Guadalquivir and old Saville,
And at dead of night the whistle blows,
and people hear she's running still...
And then they hush their children back to
sleep,
Lock the doors, upstairs they creep,
For it is said that the souls of the dead
Fill that train ten thousand deep!!
Well a railwayman lay dying with his people
by his side,
His family were crying, knelt in prayer
before he died,
But above his bed just a-waiting for the
dead,
Was the Devil with a twinkle in his eye,
"Well God's not around and look what I've
found,
this one's mine!!"
Just then the Lord himself appeared in a
blinding flash of light,
And shouted at the Devil, "Get thee hence to
endless night!!"
But the Devil just grinned and said "I may
have sinned,
But there's no need to push me around,
I got him first so you can do your worst,
He's going underground!!"
"But I think I'll give you one more chance"
said the Devil with a smile,
"So throw away that stupid lance,
It's really not your style",
"Joker is the name, Poker is the game,
we'll play right here on this bed,
And then we'll bet for the biggest stakes
yet,
the souls of the dead!!"
And I said "Look out, Lord, He's going to
win,
The sun is down and the night is riding in,
That train is dead on time, many souls are on
the line,
Oh Lord, He's going to win!.."
Well the railwayman he cut the cards
And he dealt them each a hand of five,
And for the Lord he was praying hard
Or that train he'd have to drive...
Well the Devil he had three aces and a king,
And the Lord, he was running for a straight,
He had the queen and the knave and nine and
ten of spades,
All he needed was the eight...
And then the Lord he called for one more
card,
But he drew the diamond eight,
And the Devil said to the son of God,
"I believe you've got it straight,
So deal me one for the time has come
To see who'll be the king of this place,
But as he spoke, from beneath his cloak,
He slipped another ace...
Ten thousand souls was the opening bid,
And it soon went up to fifty-nine,
But the Lord didn't see what the Devil did,
And he said "that suits me fine",
"I'll raise you high to a hundred and five,
And forever put an end to your sins",
But the Devil let out a mighty shout, "My
hand wins!!"
And I said "Lord, oh Lord, you let him win,
The sun is down and the night is riding in,
That train is dead on time, many souls are on
the line,
Oh Lord, don't let him win..."
Well that Spanish train still runs between,
Guadalquivir and old Saville,
And at dead of night the whistle blows,
And people fear she's running still...
And far away in some recess
The Lord and the Devil are now playing chess,
The Devil still cheats and wins more souls,
And as for the Lord, well, he's just doing
his best...
And I said "Lord, oh Lord, you've got to win,
The sun is down and the night is riding in,
That train is still on time, oh my soul is on
the line,
Oh Lord, you've got to win..."
