this song of Janis Joplin was bugging my mind anyway.

Oh Lord, buy a traincard for me.
I want to leave home and I need far more to see.
There are so many pleaces I want to be.
So Lord, please a traincard, so I can be free.

Oh Lord, get me safe places to stay,
so I can sleep well and travel each day.
One in the woods and a few at the bay.
Oh Lord, get me safe places to stay.

Oh Lord, give me as companion a man.
One with integrity, so trusting I can.
I don’t mind his colour, or if he has a tan.
Oh Lord, give me a loving and caring man.

Oh Lord, give me a peaceful life.
Get rid of those with guns and who carry a knife.
Make me happy here ,and destroy all the strife.
Oh Lord, give me a peaceful life.

Oh Lord, buy Janis Joplin her Benz
You can crowdfund the money, does that makes sense?
I’ll send you a photo when it reaches my lens.
Oh Lord, buy Janis Joplin her Benz

But Lord, just buy a traincard for me.
I want to leave home and I need far more to see.
There are so many pleaces I want to be.
So Lord, please a traincard, so I can be free.
