Not a knife throw from here you can hear the night train passing
That's the sound somebody makes when they're getting away
Leaving next week's hanging jury far behind them
Prisoner only of the choices they have made

Night Train...
Night Train...

Ice cube in a dark drink shines like starlight
The moon is floating somewhere out at sea
On an island in the blur of noise and color
Alcatraz, St. Alina, Patmos and the Chateau D'if

Night Train...
Night Train...

And everyone's an island edged with sand
A temporary refuge where somebody else can stand
Till the sea that binds us like the forced tie of a blood oath
Will wear it down, dissolve it, recombine it

Anyone can die here they do it every day
It doesn't take much effort though it goes against the grain
And the ultimate forgetfulness of violence
Sweeps the landscape like a headlight of a train

Night Train...

Ice cube in a dark drink shines like starlight
Starlight shines like glass shards in dark hair
And the mind's eye tumbles out along the steel track
Fixing every shadow with its stare

Night Train...
Night Train...

And in the absence of a vision there are nightmares
And in the absence of compassion there is cancer
Whose banner waves over palaces and mean streets
And the rhythm of the night train is a mantra

You forgot Boone's Farm.  It came in two flavors ... although I don't remember either.  

When I was 19 I was fixing my car in my parents' driveway with an open bottle of Boone's Farm beside me that someone had donated. I accidentally knocked it over and it ate a stain into the asphalt like gasoline. The stain remained until someone tore up the asphalt and replaced it with pavers many decades later.

Sick indeed, in a good way of course.  
Bass player is Rob Wasserman, who I must confess I am not familiar with. Looks like he's won a few fans with this offering.

Normally cannot tolerate his voice, but the songwriting on this album, along with the guitar and the bass are astounding. Almost all the songs on this album, if you listen and follow the craft of his mind, paint fully realized scenarios. This one and his instrumental album, aptly named Speechless, are my favs.

Hey. I like this.  Never heard it before and I am born and raised in Toronto and still living nearby :)

Well, that's what happens when you listen to new wave and classic rock for too many years.

Bruce is a contemporary with these guys. Murray Mclaughlin is another that was in the "folk scene" in Toronto at this time. 
Posted 12 years ago by martinc    [ Reply ]
While it's a commercial hit, I like the guts it took to write and record "rocket launcher" and I love his song about the IMF.  Bruce is political when it's easier to be shy about such things.  Thus, he rightfully takes his place with other Canadian singer-songwriters who've challenged us with their work.

In all cultures, pronunciations blur and morph over centuries. In literate cultures, spellings tend to persist unchanged, even as the pronunciations evolve. I would add "Worcestershire" ("Wooster") to that fascinating list. :-)

Did not know that about Cockburn = "Coburn". Makes me curious how James Coburn got that spelling. Ellis Island, perhaps?
 
Ermm..."Worcester" is pronounced "Wooster". You can leave the "shire" out...although save some of that sauce for me. In MA, a lot of people pronounce "Worcester" as "Woostah." 

The British have a lot elisions and contractions when it comes to pronunciation of town and city names. I've wondered whether that habit is a way of quickly pronouncing a long or complicated name, something that took hold over many generations of a largely stable population. 

And places like Worcester in England have been around for many generations. My parents learned on their honeymoon that towns ending in -cester, -caster and -chester were sites of Roman camps (Castra, Castrorum). The Roman suffix "-castra" got changed over the years into recognizable variations. 

The strangest pronunciation I've heard of from the UK was "Featherstone" being pronounced "Fanshawe."

As for Bruce...well, even the British don't quite agree.

Next to Neil, Bruce is my 2nd favorite Canadian musician, and like Neil one of my ultimate favorites.  I was separated and took my estranged wife to see Bruce in Eugene, OR and we ended up together again after this show.
