You say you stand by your man Tell me something, I don't understand You said you love me and that's a fact And then you left me, said you felt trapped Well some things you can explain away But the heartache's in me 'til this day You didn't stand by me No, not at all You didn't stand by me No way All the times when we were close I'll remember these things the most I see all my dreams come tumblin' down I can't be happy without you around So alone I keep the wolves at bay And there's only one thing I can say You didn't stand by me No, not at all You didn't stand by me No way You must explain Why this must be Did you lie when you spoke to me? Did you stand by me? No, not at all Now I got a job, but it don't pay I need new clothes, I need somewhere to stay But without all these things I can do But without your love, I won't make it through But you don't understand my point of view I suppose there's nothing I can do You didn't stand by me No, not at all You didn't stand by me No way You must explain Why this must be Did you lie when you spoke to me? Did you stand by me? Did you stand by me? No, not at all Did you stand by me? No way Did you stand by me? No, not at all Did you stand by me? No way

“Train in Vain” foi lançada como o terceiro e último single do álbum *London Calling* (1979) da banda punk britânica The Clash.
Apesar de ser parte de *London Calling*, a faixa não aparece na lista de músicas originais, aparecendo apenas como um track oculto no final do disco, já que o título foi adicionado nos últimos momentos, quando a capa já estava em produção.
Em algumas edições do álbum o título completo “Train in Vain (Stand by Me)” aparece na folha de créditos, enquanto em outras permanece apenas “Train in Vain”.
Nos Estados Unidos e no Canadá, a música foi publicada como “Train in Vain (Stand by Me)” porque a frase “stand by me” domina o refrão, evitando confusão com a canção homônima de Ben E. King.
Foi a primeira música do Clash a entrar no Top 30 das paradas dos Estados Unidos, marcando um importante passo internacional para a banda.
Em 2010, a *Rolling Stone* posicionou “Train in Vain” na 298ª posição da lista das 500 maiores canções de todos os tempos.
