Locksley (West Chester Railroad station)
Locksley is a train station located on Locksley Road in Thornbury Township, Pennsylvania. The station was a stop on the Pennsylvania Railroad's (PRR) West Chester Line. It later became a part of SEPTA's R3 West Chester line.
SEPTA discontinued regular passenger service in September 1986, due to deteriorating track conditions and Chester County's desire to expand facilities at Exton Station on SEPTA's Paoli/Thorndale Line. Service was restored by the West Chester Railroad (WCRR) in 1997, a privately owned and operated heritage railway that operates between Glen Mills and West Chester on weekends.
History
Locksley Station was established on May 24, 1890, on a petition from the residents of that locality. The name, according to a 1901 newspaper article, did not originate from the area, but was chosen by the superintendent of that division of the railroad from a volume of poems by Alfred, Lord Tennyson. The Locksley Station shelter has been restored; however, WCRR trains do not stop. A PRR historic manual block position-light signal stands near the station site. Remains of the Dyer Stone Quarry and Thorndale Mills are also visible from the station.
Locksley (band)
Locksley is an indie four-piece pop rock/power pop band from Madison, Wisconsin. They are self-released on their own Feature Records label. Their songwriting is heavily influenced by early British Invasion bands with an instrumental style based more on early American punk bands and modern garage rock groups. The band describe their sound as doo-wop punk.
Beginnings, Don't Make Me Wait (2003–2009)
Locksley was formed in Madison, Wisconsin in 2003 by Jesse Laz, Sam Bair, Kai Kennedy and Aaron Collins. They were students at Madison West High School. The band relocated to New York shortly after forming. Their first show was September 10, 2003, at the CBGB Gallery. They recorded a CD of demos in their apartment called Safely From the City, which they self-released in the fall of 2004. Only 1000 copies were ever printed.
In 2005 Locksley released a five-song, self-titled EP. Several tracks off Locksley were licensed for commercials, including "Don't Make Me Wait" and "She Does" to Payless Shoes and "Don't Make Me Wait" to the STARZ network. Locksley was featured in the STARZ ad campaign as well, in a music video shot by the network. The EP and the licensing exposure attracted some label interest, though ultimately they never signed a record contract, instead releasing "Don't Make Me Wait" (a collection that included a mix of originals, tracks from the Locksley EP and some rerecordings of songs off Safely From the City) on their own Feature Records label in January 2007. (It was later released in Japan on Fabtone Records in June 2007 and in France on Minimum Records in August 2008). This release would be their first studio album and first broad album release. The band cites "Don't Make Me Wait" as their first album.

Why Not Me
by: LocksleyOh, talk, talk, talk
Oh, shut your mouth
A little kiss, kiss, kiss
Come on and help me out
Desperate times call for desperate measures
And desperate desires lead to desperate pleasures
You know?
Oh yeah, you know, don't you?
Oh god, you don't?
Oh no, you don't, do you?
Won't you teach, teach, teach me if you can
How to be more cosmopolitan
Who needs class when you got money?
Well I've got cash, but you've got everything else
Well you can call me crazy, but I heard that sells
Oh, why can't I be you?
Oh, how can I be you?
Oh, it's so easy for you to be
Just what everyone wants to be
So, why not me?
Tell me, why not me?
Tell me!
Well look, look, look who's laughing now?
Well it's me-e-e, but not too loud
I won't make it on my own for long, dear
I'm doing anything to just hold on here
It's true, it's true
That I could just walk a mile in another man's shoes
Oh, why can't I be you?
Oh, how can I be you?
Oh, it's so easy for you to be
Just what everyone wants to be
So, why not me?
Tell me, why not me?
Now listen to me, listen to me
You're what I should be, what I could be
So what do you say, what do you say?
I'm willing to pay, begging to pay
Now what'll it take, what'll it take,
To get me a break, give me a break?
Oh what can you do, what can I do
To make you like me, make me like you?
Why can't I be you?
Oh, how can I be you?
Oh, it's so easy for you to be
Just what everyone wants to be
The things never stop haunting me
You can make it look so easy!
Why not me?
Tell me!
Why not me?
Oh, tell me!
