In an occasional series pop tracks that meant a great deal to me comes this Randy Newman song from the soundtrack of Performance, I bought the album after seeing the film when it came out and it has haunted me ever since . . . .. . . .to those who don't know the soundtrack features Mick (Jagger) and Ry Cooder especially but this track is just staggering in it's cover of dark forces at play in a rock song
What IS it about? Whatever don't get on that 'Gone Dead Train' . . . . . . . . 

Gone Dead Train - Randy Newman
