about

Japan Only Bonus Track.

A Sugababes cover.

When this song came out at the dawn of the Millennium I remember sitting at the radio and tuning between frequencies to find a station that was playing it. Their sound was like nothing I'd heard before and nothing since has done the same.

I eventually download a version from Napster (I was a working class kid, don't judge me) which had a jump in the second verse which became part of the song for me. That skip feels so Y2K now.

This was the moment pop music became an obsession. It felt right to cover it on this EP.

lyrics

Strange fear I haven't felt for years,
The boy's coming and I'm close to tears,
I can't let go of you now.
Imagination's playing round for free,
And in my world I take him out for tea,
Oh my god, can't say no.
Skipping school, go towalk for air,
I just had to get out of bed,
I'm on overload in my head.

Train comes, I don't know its destination,
It's a one-way ticket to a madman's situation.
Train comes, I don't know its destination,
It's a one-way ticket to a madman's situation.

Life is a dream, time does come true,
And in my sleep I think of you,
Feather bed by myself.
Basically probability says that fate's come side with me,
It's been so long on my shelf.

Train comes, I don't know its destination,
It's a one-way ticket to a madman's situation.
Train comes, I don't know its destination,
It's a one-way ticket to a madman's situation.

The tension is incredible, boy I'm in charge,
You know how I feel for you.
Will you stop, or will you just keep going,
Please don't say no, no, no, no.

Train comes, I don't know its destination,
It's a one-way ticket to a madman's situation.
Train comes, I don't know its destination,
It's a one-way ticket to a madman's situation.

And it's got me feeling sad.
