Trying

Trying, or Trying to do things Better, is a song from Calling All Engines!.

Extended Lyrics
Anything that Diesels do

Steamies know that they can too

Diesels! Steamies! Engines who

Try to do things better

They both have a different role

"We need oil!", "We need coal!"

All of us have just one goal

Trying to do things better!

Who can shunt the most trucks of bricks

On trains that are much longer

Steamies may get up to tricks

But Diesels are much stronger

Who has gleaming piston rods

and paintwork bright and shiny

Who can pull the longest train

and still keep perfect timing!

Anything that Diesels do

Steamies know that they can too

Diesels! Steamies! Engines who

Try to do things better

They both have a different role

"We need oil!", "We need coal!"

All of us have just one goal

Trying to do things better!

(instrumental solo)

Who goes bumping into trucks

causing so much trouble

Who can lift those heavy loads

and clear the lines of rubble

Who can only honk their horns

while Steamies whistle loudly

Who's that straining up the hill

while Gordon steams by proudly!

Anything that Diesels do

Steamies know that they can too

Diesels! Steamies! Engines who

Try to do things better

They both have a different role

"We need oil!", "We need coal!"

All of us have just one goal

Trying to do things better!

Who can shunt the most trucks of bricks

On trains that are much longer

Steamies may get up to tricks

But Diesels are much stronger

Who has gleaming piston rods

and paintwork bright and shiny

Who can pull the longest train

and still keep perfect timing!

Anything that Diesels do

Steamies know that they can too

Diesels! Steamies! Engines who

Try to do things better

They both have a different role

"We need oil!", "We need coal!"

All of us have just one goal

Trying to do things better!

All of us have just one goal

Trying to do things better!
