(Waiting For) The Ghost Train

Waiting For The Ghost Train is a 1986 single by the British ska-pop band Madness . It was written by singer Graham 'Suggs' McPherson and took 29th place in England.

History [ edit ]
Ghost Train, a song about the apartheid in South Africa, was recorded for the second hitverzamelaar Utter Madness and then closed the first period of existence of the tape; hence the megamix Seven Year Scratch on the 12-inch. The B-side is the R & B-like Maybe In Another Life, written and sung by saxophonist Lee Thompson .

Former pianist and founder Mike Barson played on this track but was unlike two years earlier published singles Michael Caine and One Better Day not see in the accompanying clip. That was true for former drummer John Hasler as nightclub owner announced the six remaining members of Madness; inserted into packs printed with headlines like 'Sowetho BLOOD BATH.

Madness is back together since 1992 in the full occupancy with Barson, Ghost Train is performed a few times but was never fixed part of the live repertoire.
