The penultimate post in this modes of transport series - thank God I can hear you cry!
As per usual the order of the songs will reflect the order of of the modes on the Burt Bacharach song.
Trains it is then to start with and it's Gang of Four with an ode to modern Britain - Outside the Trains Don't Run on Time. Say what you like about Mussolini ....
I wouldn't have thought that given its geographical location that Chesterfield was necessarily boat territory but it seems that the Chesterfields beg to differ as they reminisce about a Girl on a Boat. They may well have a pond.
Spitfire Susie is a song from Small Wonders the latest album by Starry Skies. It is a biographical song about an elderly neighbour who main man Warren McIntyre befriended.
Yet again I am indebted to Rol for pointing me in the direction of The Dells with their version of our title track.
Final instalment next Tuesday!
The Chesterfields are from Dorset (I know that because I used to roadie occasionally for the singer's previous band when I lived down there ) - not on the coast but closer to it. They also released 'Last Train to Yeovil' so could have filled two of the three slots today.
ReplyDeleteA potential new series - 2 out of 3 ain't bad?!
