about

Boxpok is a special trainwheel. One of the best ever made. Boxpok refers to the solid base of LQR, strong as steel!

lyrics

BOXPOK

Left september seventy one and eight
to disarm and then reintegrate
To look for trains and love along the tracks
culture, war and Hermann maurice saxe
I took my time evading the police
Climbed a bridge with all the Japanese
I saw the loc appearing down below
It’s one of sixty five as you may know

CHORUS:
Boxpok! My kind of wheel!
Big and black and solid steel!

Fed the fire upon the fire crate
and poked it up so we would not be late
Kept in mind the Ninety seven’s fate
while heading for the elevated straight
Contrary to what you might expect
No explosions, accidents or wrecks
All was well when we were driving back
and said “Hello” to Gerald on the track

CHORUS:
Boxpok! My kind of wheel!
Big and black and solid steel!

BRIDGE:
Different wheels on different trains, a different feeling you cannot explain
Not any old wheel at any old time can carry her down ‘cross the East German line
The bigger she is, the more she can take, built for the ages and never to break oohh!!!
No, she will not blow, ‘cause Billy was shown how to keep up a fire a long time ago
Spiraling out of the valley below, one eye on the gauge and one eye on the road
That curious chime whines in the climb and sings to the rhythm in Boxpok time

CHORUS:
Boxpok! My kind of wheel!
Left september seventy one and eight

How does a bottle of whiskey taste if you have six true musicians doing their thing? How's rock 'n' roll as these same guys mix their passion for Irish folk, steaming Americana and solid rock to a swinging cocktail?
