Ever since the first day, in 2000, the band plays its own material, "because we don't need cover material." Because their material is so catchy and diverse, a gig by the band will never bore you. Their catchy-sensitive pop/rock sound is, every gig again, a big succes.

If you miss the train I'm on
You will know that I am gone
You can hear the whistle blow
A hundred miles
A hundred miles
A hundred miles
A hundred miles

You can hear the whistle blow a hundred miles
Lord, I'm one

Lord, I'm four
Lord, I'm five hundred miles from my home

Five hundred miles
Five hundred miles
Five hundred miles
Five hundred miles
Lord, I'm five hundred miles from my home

Not a shirt on my back
Not a penny to my name
Lord, I can't go home
This way

Lord, I can't go home this way

If you miss the train I'm on

You will know that I am gone
You can hear the whistle blow a hundred miles
