Ghost Train

from Blue Snakes by Villareal

/

about

'Ghost Train' was picked up by Dave Newton (Ride's ex-manager. I love Ride!) over at Shifty Disco Records and released as a Christmas single. I had never thought of this track in such a way, but could see Dave's point about its 'Christmassy melodies'!
For the record i was trying to write something in the style of Weezer (Blue album). But I obviously failed...

lyrics

You know it's true you are my best friend
I've come to depend on you
But everyday I'm counting backwards trying to make good
The doubts that cross my mind

I'm like a ghost you saw the most back then

When we first me the snow was melting
And you were shouting at cars
Then summer came we watched the blue sky it made us all cry
Now i cant find my voice

I'm like a ghost the one who loved you most back then

Now i can't find my voice
I'm like a ghost
The one you ditched the most back then

Days-that seem much colder
At night the spirits older
Somewhere the spirit smoulders
And we ride the ghost train home

You know it's true we're on a fast ride
But something inside is wrong
And everyday we do things your way
It's time for my say

But i cant find my voice

(Words & Music Simon Parker)
