Gone Dead Train


I have e-mailed many of you to tell of my quest to find out the story behind the lyrics on the Crazy Horse song "Gone Dead Train." It is such a cool song with some funky lyrics that must have come from listening to some old men in prison or something similarly evil.

The song was written by the late Jack Nitzsche and the living Russ Titleman but I don't have a clue as to who came up with what part of the song. It was originally recorded by Randy Newman (of "Short People" fame) for the 1969 Mick Jagger movie "Performance." He does a cool version that I only just heard today. Check out the lyrics below for those of you who haven't seem them before, and check out the link for the Randy Newman version it is well worth a listen.
