No doubt, you will have spotted The Shadow's guitarist Hank Marvin playing the electric guitar solo at the start of the video, followed by Tracey under a 60s style hairdryer with two other ladies beside her at the hairdresser's. She sings the lyrics to her lover, a train driver on the A1X Class 55 Stepney steam engine, which featured as a character in Thomas The Tank Engine as Stepney The Bluebell Engine.
Tracey and the train driver are then seen dancing in the road dancing together. Tracey is wearing a pink Ballroom gown and the train driver is in 60s motorcycle gear. He then opens the door to the sidecar on his motorbike and she squeezes into it and her takes her to the Rivoli ballroom dance competition. Here they win the first prize cup and then they dance their way back to the Stepney engine which rides off into the distance.
