about

The title track, this is one of those afore-mentioned songs that manages to get harmonised vocals in there from start to finish, ably provided by Jeff Samin and Ben Mason. It also highlights my love of ‘Cortez The Killer’-era Neil Young, as well as my desire to get at least one rock guitar ‘wig-out’ on the album. Lyrically it’s a despairing reaction to the longstanding experiencing of living under a conservative government which, sadly, is all too common in this country.

lyrics

Locomotive, ramble on, through the burrows, through the throng
To those who came in far too late, redemption comes to those who wait
Does anybody know the way on this strange ride?

The unworthy, the estranged, burden-bearers with tarnished names
they got the anger, they got the sword, they got the gall to pull the chord
So as we can all escape from this strange ride!

Strange ride coming round the bend
Strange ride coming round the bend

Pain the carriage, paint it red, drawing circles around my head
You take the fat conductor man, I’ll take the driver, that’s our plan
ready for the mass escape from this strange ride!

Strange ride coming round the bend
Strange ride coming round the bend
