Same with me! It's the wah-wah/bass combination, isn't it? |

 You know, just about every time I hear Bill play this, I think "Who's doing this nice cover of Shawn Colvin's song?" .  |
| It's the eerie guitars that really make this number - spooky, and with more than a touch of Pink Floyd IMO. 8 from the Nottingham jury.

Agreed. |
| John Hiatt is 2 kewl 4 skool!  |
| Giving this an instant 9, just for the title. As always, not vouching for the accuracy of the lyrics, but you get the idea... What a dark song! There's a dead girl's body By the railroad track She's waiting for a train Jimmy left town like a fade to black In his camero in the rain She wrote it down and burned it
Jimmy loves who knows who
Well he wasn't from around this town
And mister neither are you She was listening into that monon line
For the wabash cannonball
Put your head on the rail
And you can hear her whine
Just like a caterwaul She wrote it down and burned it
She clutched it flaming to her chest
It said jimmy loves cars And jimmy loves trains
Ah but jimmy, jimmy loves me best There's a dead girl's body
By the railroad track
Waiting for a train
Well I guess jimmy never did come back
In his camaro in the rain She wrote it down and burned it
Yeah the only way I know
You could still read some words
In the ashes there
But she could not watch him go She wrote it down and burned it |

Pretty good song, I give it a solid 7. Vocals by Roy Harper on that one. I love John Hiatt - a great song writer (so is Roy Harper, for that matter!). |

| Don't generally like Mr. Hiatt, but I DO like this one. Nice edge. Melancholy. Dark. Just my style. 7 — > 8 |
