"the locomotion" -little eva

"come on, come on, do the locomotion with me. you gotta swing your hips now, come on baby, jump up, jump back. well i think you got the knack, whoa, whoa. now that you can do it, lets make a chain now. a chugga chugga motion like a railroad train now...

"twice the first time" -saul williams

~>riding in a freight train, in the freezing rain listening to coltrane, my reality went insane...

"abusing of the rib" -atmosphere

~>i wanna ride a train up my lovers arm. stop off at the brain to hop out and find out what's going on. cut thru trees and ride thru rocks and synchronize the universal sundial to my watch. i've seen a lot, but not quite as much as her. to top it off the memory and the imagination blur, but i know she's been put thru hell, i can feel it. and i know she's touched heaven as well, tryin' to steal it. but it came on and it taught her a song and strung her along, and it caught her when the guard was gone. now to the break of dawn, she's trying to feel that fix and all her family and friends is trying to seal them lips. but i ain't dumb i can hear that train come from miles away.. setting up obstacles to stop its arrival. i want to blow up that iron and wood road, from what i understood those be the orifice of its survival. my recital, another tantrum, cuz she's highly excitable, swinging moods at random. no happy endings, always off to a bad start. addictive, voyeuristic to the track marks...

A few of my fav-o-rites..

Jimi Hendrix "hear my train a comin"

Well I wait around the train station

Waitin’ for that train

Waitin’ for the train, yeah

Take me, yeah, from this lonesome place

Well now a whole lotta people put me down a lot ‘a changes

My girl had called me a disgrace

The tears burnin’

Tears burnin’ me

Tears burnin’ me way down in my heart

Well you know it’s too bad, little girl, it’s too bad, too bad we have to part

Gonna leave this town, yeah

Gotta leave this town

Gonna make a whole lotta money

Gonna be big, yeah

Gonna be big yeah

I’m gonna buy this town

I’m gonna buy this town, an’ put it all in my shoe (might even give a piece to you)

That’s what I’m gonna do, what I’m gonna do, what I’m gonna do

lots of people have done this song "waiting for a train"

All around the water tank waiting for a train

A thousand miles away from home sleeping in the rain

I walked up to a brakeman gave him a line of talk

He said if you've got money boy I'll see that you don't walk

I haven't got a nickel not a penny can I show

Get off get off you railroad bum and he slammed the boxcar door

He put me off in Texas a state I dearly love

The wide open spaces all around me the moon and stars up above

Nobody seems to want me or to lend me a helping hand

I'm on my way from Frisco going back to Dixie Land

Though my pocketbook is empty and my heart is full of pain

I'm a thousand miles away from home just a waiting for a train

ccr "crosstie walker"

I went down to the station, just to take a ride.

I went down to the station, just to take a ride.

Found myself on a flatcar, yesterday behind.

Pullin' out from the platform, there was no brass band.

I pulled out from the platform, nobody raised a hand.

And there were no tears of regret from my runaway train.

Train, train, train, train.

Got no sand in my pocket, you know I ain't tied down.

Ain't no sand in my pocket, never do sit down.

I'm just a cross-tie walker, where the freight trains run.

Run, run, run, run.

If you see me acomin', don't you waste my time.

If you see me acomin', don't you waste my time.

'Cause there's more miles between us than the Santa Fe Line.

Run, run, run, run.

Mm-mm-mm-mm-mm....

kingston trio "fast freight"

As I listen for the whistle, lie awake and wait. Wish the railroad didn't run so near,

'Cause the rattle and clatter of that old fast freight keeps a-makin' music in my ear. Go bum again. Go bum again. Oo-

Hear the whistle blow. Hear the whistle blow. Clickety clack, clickety clack. The wheels are saying to the railroad track.

Well, if you go, you can't come back. If you go, you can't come back. If you go, you can't come back.

Well, I wouldn't give a nickel for the bum I use to be, work as hard as any man in town.

I got a purty gal. She thinks the world of me. Man would be a fool to let her down. Go bum again. Go bum again. Oo-

So ev'ry night I listen, wonder if it's late. In my dreams I'm ridin' on that train.

I feel my pulse a-beatin' with that old fast freight and thank the Lord I'm just a bum again. Go bum again. Go bum again. Oo

metallicas only decent song from the last 15 years or so..hahaha.

"no leaf clover"

...Then it comes to be the soothing light at the end of your tunnel

is just a freight train coming your way

Then it comes to be the soothing light at the end of your tunnel

is just the freight train coming your way

a million and 2 hobo songs. im tired. good thread.

MEGADETH

Music & Lyrics by Mustaine

Originally appeared on the album YOUTHANASIA

I'm doing you a favor

As I'm taking all your money

I guess I should feel sorry

But I don't even trust me

There's bad news creeping up

And you feel a sudden chill

How do you do? My name is Trouble

I'm coming in for the kill...

And you know I will

Set the ball a-rollin

I'll be clicking off the miles

On the train of consequences

My boxcar life o' style

My thinking is derailed

I'm tied up to the tracks

The train of consequences

There ain't no turning back

No horse ever ran as fast

As the money that you bet

I'm blowing on my cards

And play them to my chest

Life's fabric is corrupt

Shot through with corroded thread

As for me I hocked my brains

Packed my bags and headed west

pharoah monch - simon says

some might even say this song is sexistis beacuse i asked the girls to rub on their breastis

"tryyna finda way" -nelly furtado

~>i left my conscience somewhere with my rhythm, i heard about it from the mouth of a man. he was hopping some trains and combing the land, looking for a lover planted in the east, trying to run from the dreaded fist beast...

"nightlight" -aesop rock

~>another thick installment of one night in gotham like, "houston we have a problem." they're buffing the trains the same days the graffiti writers bomb 'em...

"woman" -akrobatik

~>a month or two later saw hun on the train, didn't recognize my ass, had some shit on her brain...

dont know the name of the song -qwel

~>you ain't seen a freight train straight aim with paint stains or car-trucks framed in star dust brushed with fame flames. three cans of soul green, sand and gold to spray trucks, names dribbled down the yard, we hit the lay-ups. disspellin devils from high levels like its a done job, couldn't mimic mister's straight lines on an etch-a-sketch with one knob...

Bruce Springstien:

"at night i wake up with the sheets soakin wet and a freight train runnin through the middle of my head....

ohhhh ohhhh ohhhh im on fire......................."

bruce springsteen(is kinda lame) "downbound train"

Now I swing a sledge hammer on a railroad gang

Knocking down them cross ties, working in the rain

Now don't it feel like you're a rider on a downbound train

more train songs.

Gordon Lightfoot-Early Morning Rain

"You cant jump a jet plane, like a freight train

so i best be on my way in the early morning rain."

word to folk music

pennywise - date with destiny

A burning plane as it’s going down the last scream before it hits the ground

A lost ship on a raging sea a blinking distress signal of emergency

A run away train careening off the tracks the last breath before a heart attack

The earthquake as it shakes your room promising falling skies in impending doom

One chance you feel it before you meet with your destiny

One chance you need it to com to terms with mortality

All thats important to me

Everything inside of me

All that’s trivial will fade and soon recede you will see when on a date with destiny

Look in the jaws of your own demise watch your life pass before your eyes

Did you live like a dream come true or did you just survive?

Did you do all you could do?

In a fall from a burning tower

What would you do with just one more hour?

Live that hour out everyday

Like it was your last you’ll live much better that way

You’re on a date with destiny

"railroad" by melanie safka
