What's the Function (of Dovey Junction)? [Rude Version Full]
What's the Function (of Dovey Junction)? [Rude Version with Vocals]
Guitar by Paul Vawer; additional vocals by Mathieu Holladay and Pete Allen.
The song is inspired by a place which is the middle of almost nowhere - the train station of Dovey Junction between Borth and Machynlleth, and is dedicated to anyone that has ever been isolated there with no phone signal or simply stuck on the train staring out at the desolate plains with only a cold Ginsters pastie to keep you company and the fear of what is lurking in the bushes...
If you have ever passed through this place on a Arriva Trains Wales train which smells of urine and is infested with lice then this song is for you.
Recorded at the almighty number 4 Cliff Terrace.

WHAT'S THE FUNCTION (OF DOVEY JUNCTION)? [Rude Version]
Intro:
What's the function of Dovey Junction (x2)
Chorus:
Standing alone, no telephone
Nowhere to go but
Straight back to you
Verse One:
But who lives at Dovey Junction
And what is their major malfunction
A twinkle in the grass as a rapist passed
Something in the reeds, pants around his knees
Chorus (x1)
Verse Two:
Is that your Mum taking it in the bum
She likes lots of men and drinking all their c*m
And there goes your Dad and he's leather clad
In his bondage gear, fourth r**e of the year
Chorus (x1)
Instrumentally bit
Chorus (x1)
Intro (x1)

Dovey Junction railway station (Welsh: Cyffordd Dyfi) is a railway station on the Cambrian Line in Wales. It is the junction where the line splits into the line to Aberystwyth and the Cambrian Coast Line to Pwllheli. Passenger services are provided by Arriva Trains Wales.
The station is in the midst of the large Dyfi National Nature Reserve, near to the Cardigan Bay coast. There is no settlement here but, contrary to common belief, it is not completely isolated: the three-quarter mile station path provides passenger access to and from the tiny village of Glandyfi.
The station has been rebuilt twice in recent years, the original Great Western Railway buildings first being replaced at some point in the 1970s by a flat roofed station building. This building was subsequently replaced in the 1990s by a simple bus shelter, having fallen into a state of disrepair and being far larger than required at this remote location.
The station platforms are being raised in 2008 in conjunction with raising of the tracks, to reduce the closure of this section of line due to flooding. The work is part of a major programme of work on the Cambrian LIne, including new signalling and an extended passing loop at Welshpool to permit running an hourly service from Shrewsbury-Aberystwyth from 2009.
