Navigation is a song from the tenth series about engines learning their routes and knowing all the signals and stations. A second music video was later made using CGI footage as part of Thomas' YouTube World Tour on 1 April 2015.
Lyrics
Model Series
- When to stop and when to go?
- These are things you have to know.
- When to start, when to brake?
- Choices that you have to make.
- To know what signals mean
- Where you're going
- Where you've been
- Where it's straight, where to turn.
- All these things you have to learn.
- Get to know your navigation.
- Handle every situation.
- Everytime you leave the station
- Know you'll reach your destination.
- Get to know your navigation.
- Handle every situation.
- Everytime you leave the station
- Know you'll reach your destination.
- Over bridges, through the tunnel
- Smoke is streaming from your funnel.
- Puffing through the countryside
- Taking people on a ride.
- When driving down the roads
- You'll know where to take your load.
- If you're flying through the air
- Navigation gets you there.
- Get to know your navigation.
- Handle every situation.
- Everytime you leave the station
- Know you'll reach your destination.
- Get to know your navigation.
- Handle every situation.
- Everytime you leave the station
- Know you'll reach your destination.
- Get to know your navigation.
- Handle every situation.
- Everytime you leave the station
- Know you'll reach your destination.
- Get to know your navigation.
- Handle every situation.
- Everytime you leave the station
- Know you'll reach your destination.
- When you know a railway sign
- You will get there everytime.
- You won't get lost again.
- You'll know where
- And you'll know when.
- So, get to know your navigation.
- Handle every situation.
- Everytime you leave the station
- Know you'll reach your destination.
- Get to know your navigation.
- Handle every situation.
- Everytime you leave the station
- Know you'll reach your destination.
