Thrack - Canterlot Express (Feat Jesh PK and Ocean Breeze)
A silly little number I've been kicking around since like Trotcon (and before I even started writing music). The song had a few changes but ultimately I thought it would be fun to drift more into an A Capella style song with minimal instruments. That being said, I sure had fun making this! And I hope the others did too!
Also featuring Hangbros he goes "huh???" in the 4th verse but he doesn't get his name in the title :)

Lyrics:
V1
Skrrah - hear that sound lets climb aboard whether ready or not
Amends - an express train that's headed east as far as Canterlot
Ocean - with our headings we find our trail as down the rails we go
All - that bright light city waits for us to give them all a show
Chorus
Listen to the whistle blow feel the rumble of the tracks
There's a shining opportunity and we only have to act
I'm sure we'll miss our families as we leave them in our wake
We're gonna tell our story loud with each new step we take
V2 - Skrrah
My name's Skrrah, I left my ship in search of treasures new (yarr woo)
Cuz the pirate life don't pay the bills and i knew what i had to do
I cut a rug with some new mates i met out on the waves
and formed up my new shanty band in hopes of getting paid (Yarr)
Chorus
V3 - Amends
Taking train from Caneighda and yes it’s very far
Got nothing to my name but some syrup in a jar
Intents to open up a shop and sell my wares real soon
Amends and our amenities the syrup rights your mood (Guaranteed!)
Chorus
V4 - Ocean
Riding fast to find a love always eluding me
My dearest in another land but soon you’ll come to see
I’ve always loved you from afar fairer princess of the Sun (wait what/huh?)
I’ll be her stallion evermore I know that she’s the one!
Chorus X2
