Song of the Day # 574 Roseanne Cash


When I was 19 I had a gap year job for six months working at a guest home / hotel in Southern Switzerland. During my time there my younger sister sent me a mix tape which included a number of tracks by a young Australian band called The Triffids. They were odd, offbeat songs, with unusual arrangements and lyrics including one called My Baby Thinks She's a Train. I could never fathom out its title. 


Thirty years on and I chanced upon this yesterday. A Number One Country hit of the early eighties by Johnny Cash's daughter which I imagine was the inspiration for The Triffids song title though the two songs bear little relation to one another otherwise. Nevertheless,I have a lot of time for both.
