Train (Goldfrapp song)

"Train" is an electronic dance song written by British group Goldfrapp for their second album Black Cherry (2003). The song was produced by Goldfrapp and received a very positive reception from music critics. It was released as the lead single in the second quarter of 2003 and reached the top thirty in the United Kingdom, where it became Goldfrapp's first top thirty single. The original title of the song was "Wolf Lady", which makes reference to the lyrics in the second verse of the song.[1] The lyrics of "Train" are based on Alison Goldfrapp's observations while in Los Angeles, California. She stated that the song describes wealth, drugs, and sex with "a sort of disgust of it and at the same time a sort of need to indulge in these things."[2]

gollark: Anyway: firstly, I cannot actually solder, and secondly it uses USB-C.
gollark: The touchscreen decided to start being annoying, so it's *effectively* dead.
gollark: Hmm. I suppose if I can't make anything else work I can probably get an adapter for a mouse.
gollark: I might have, but I think that still has a prompt on the device, and I'd need to enter the decryption key on screen, as far as I know.
gollark: Does anyone know a way to backup data off my phone without being able to input anything on the screen? The touchscreen is apparently not responding at all.
