Original Song Composed by Ed Welch
Cover by Headmaster Hastings:    • Trying To Do Things Better (Cover By HH)  

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.

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.
