writer Note: Chorus alternative (Last Train)
[Chorus]
Last train leaves on time for once —
Two red lights, then the lamp and me
Eleven stops, I know them by name
I'll say them all the way home —
How it differs: swaps the self-pity of "nobody's waiting up" for a dry joke about punctuality, and brings the eleven stops from the bridge into the hook.

[Chorus]
Last train leaves on time for once —
Two red lights, then the lamp and me
Eleven stops, I know them by name
I'll say them all the way home —
It replaces "nobody's waiting up" with a dry joke about the train being on time, and moves the eleven stops from the bridge into the hook. It works after both pre-choruses.
Nothing else changed: the lyrics draft (Lyrics draft tab) and the brief are untouched. Cost: $0.00.
Next step: if you like it, paste it into the lyrics doc yourselves and decide whether the last chorus should change its final line, the way the current draft does (writer's suggestion: "I've said them all, I'm home").

9:03:59 PM I've posted one new chorus for Last Train as a note in the job transcript:
> [Chorus]
> Last train leaves on time for once —
> Two red lights, then the lamp and me
> Eleven stops, I know them by name
> I'll say them all the way home —
The current chorus feels sorry for itself ("nobody's waiting up"). This one swaps that for a dry joke about the train leaving on time for once. It also moves the "eleven stops" from the bridge into the chorus. It works after both pre-choruses: after "Like it's giving me a minute" the first line reads as irony, and after "So that was the minute" it's the punchline.
The lyrics draft and the brief are unchanged, and this cost $0.00.
**Next step:** if you want to use it, paste it into the lyrics doc yourselves. You'd also need to decide whether the last chorus changes its final line, the way the current draft does. The writer suggested "I've said them all, I'm home."
