That should technically count......on the other hand, I dont think The Move's "Turkish Tram Conductor Blues" does
Always liked this tune.
"please do not understand me too quickly"-andre gide
"Crazy Train" uses a metaphor of a train to describe mental issues
"Alienated-so alien I go!"
Chris de Burgh - Spanish Train
As did "Locomotive Breath."
should those two technically count as train songs then?
"Alienated-so alien I go!"
Red Box - Train
The only decent song on their second album, "Motive".
Genesis - Driving the Last Spike
Steve Hackett - Transylvania Express
-=Will you stand by me against the cold night, or are you afraid of the ice?=-
David Bowie - "Station to Station"
Michael Nyman - "Trains Grand Vitesse"
Gillan - "Ballad of the Lucitania Express"
Click Clack
Peter Hammill-Traintime
Just noticed that the OP didn't limit it to rock songs. There's a huge repertoire of folk songs about trains: "Wabash Cannonball," "Casey Jones," "I've Been Working on the Railroad..."
For those who care, there is a "canonical" list of "train songs" here.
Cobra handling and cocaine use are a bad mix.
Meade Lux Lewis - Honky Tonk Train Blues
The Nits - The Train
Udo Lindenberg - Sonderzug nach Pankow
And I don't know if this counts:
The Nits - Adieu sweet Bahnhof
“Wave Your Flag and Stop the Train” does, though.
Confirmed Bachelors: the dramedy hit of 1883...
Robert Wyatt - Locomotive
Kevin Ayers - Stop This Train (Again Doing It)
JJ Cale - Lonesome Train
Kevin Coyne - Strange Locomotion
Little Feat - Two Trains
Pretty Things - Rip Off Train
