Trains They Stop (1990 boombox demo)

from From the Mixed Up Files of Mr. Matthew T. Schindler, Volume 3 by Faux Jean

about

I recorded this song idea on a boombox on January 17, 1990 in my dorm room in Freiburg im Breisgau, Germany.

I was 20 years old at the time.

The Berlin Wall had just come down and I was taking a lot of trains at the time.

I include it here, despite its somewhat gnarly quality (and coming from me, that's saying something) since it is one of my first attempts ever to document a song idea on tape.

lyrics

Trains they stop
Trains they go
People they get hurt

Trains they stop
yes they do
But they go on too

It's fun to stop
It's fun to go
But it's no fun to get hurt

Yes I've seen them stop
And I've seen them go
And seen them all get hurt

I've seen them cry
I've heard it too
Feeling better
Feeling blue

I've seen them stop!
Seen them stop!

Yeah.
