A slideshow I made for the song Spanish train by Chris de Burgh. Lyrics: There's a Spanish train that runs betweenGualdalquivir and old SavilleAnd at dead of night the whistle blowsAnd people hear she's running stillAnd then they hush their children back to sleepLock the doors, upstairs they creepFor it is said that the souls of the deadFill that train ten thousand deepWell a railway man lay dying with his people by his sideHis family were crying, knelt in prayer before he diedBut above his bed just a waiting for the deadWas the Devil with a twinkle in his eye"Well God's not around and look what I've foundThis one's mine"Just then the Lord himselfAppeared in a blinding flash of lightAnd shouted at the Devil"Get thee hence to endless night"But the Devil just grinned and said"I may have sinnedBut there's no need to push me aroundI got him first so you can do your worstHe's going underground""But I think I'll give you one more chance"Said the Devil with a smile"So throw away that stupid lanceIt's really not your style""Joker is the namePoker is the gameWe'll play right here on this bedAnd then we'll bet for the biggest stakes yetThe souls of the dead"And I said "Look out, Lord, He's going to winThe sun is down and the night is riding inThat train is dead on time, many souls are on the lineOh Lord, He's going to win"Well the railway man he cut the cardsAnd he dealt them each a hand of fiveAnd for the Lord he was praying hardOr that train he'd have to driveWell the Devil he had three aces and a kingAnd the Lord, he was running for a straightHe had the queen and the knaveAnd nine and ten of spadesAll he needed was the eightAnd then the Lord he called for one more cardBut he drew the diamond eightAnd the Devil said to the son of God"I believe you've got it straightSo deal me one for the time has comeTo see who'll be the king of this placeBut as he spoke, from beneath his cloakHe slipped another aceTen thousand souls was the opening bidAnd it soon went up to fifty-nineBut the Lord didn't see what the Devil didAnd he said "that suits me fine""I'll raise you high to a hundred and fiveAnd 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 winThe sun is down and the night is riding inThat train is dead on time, many souls are on the lineOh Lord, don't let him win"Well that Spanish train still runs betweenGualdalquivir and old SavilleAnd at the dead of night the whistle blowsAnd people fear she's running stillAnd far away in some recessThe Lord and the Devil are now playing chessThe Devil still cheats and wins more soulsAnd as for the Lord, well, he's just doing his bestAnd I said "Lord, oh Lord, you've got to winThe sun is down and the night is riding inThat train is still on time, Oh my soul is on the lineOh Lord, you've got to win"
