He rides the road that don't have no end
An open highway without any bends
Tramp and his stallion alone in a dream
Proud in his colours as the chromium gleams
On Iron Horse he flies
On Iron Horse he'll gladly die
Iron Horse his wife
Iron Horse his life
He lives his life he's living it fast
You don't try to hide when the dice have been cast
He rides the whirlwind that cuts to the bone
Loaded forever, ferociously stoned
On Iron Horse he flies
On Iron Horse he'll gladly die
Iron Horse his wife
Iron Horse his life
One day one day, they'll go for the sun
And together they'll slide on the eternal run
Wasted forever on speed, bikes and booze
We're all Tramp and the brothers
And we're all born to lose

Thursday's Child

All of my life I've tried so hard
Doing my best with what I had
Nothing much happened all the same
Something about me stood apart
A whisper of hope that seemed to fail
Maybe I'm born right out of my time
Breaking my life in two
Throw me tomorrow
Now that I've really got a chance
Throw me tomorrow
Everything's falling into place
Throw me tomorrow
Seeing my past to let it go
Throw me tomorrow
Only for you I don't regret
That I was Thursday's child
Monday Tuesday Wednesday born I was
Sometimes I cried my heart to sleep
Shuffling days and lonesome nights
Sometimes my courage fell to my feet
Lucky old sun is in my sky
Nothing prepared me for your smile
Lighting the darkness of my soul
Innocence in your arms
Monday Tuesday Wednesday born I was
Thursday's Child

I first heard Swervedriver when this demo of Son Of Mustang Ford was included on the Creation Tape with Select magazine in 92. It blew me away and I started seeking out whatever vinyl/cds I could get my hands on. I joined their fan club getting the little magazines that sometimes included lyrics. I couldn’t believe my luck when a few months later Swervedriver announced they were playing in nearby Worthing at the Factory club. I was there with a handful of mates totally spellbound. I love this

You know a band is special when they can release a collection of B-sides & rarities & it sounds like a Greatest Hits. Maëlstrom & the Hitcher are two of the finest songs I've ever heard.

Classic Swerve playing classic driving' choons. Re-releasing the singles was a brilliant move.

Is it wicked not to care? Frances Chang's layered, strange experimental pop recalls Lisa Germano in its pursuit of meaning in a sad world.

Big and bold psych rock jams from Toronto's Stonegrass stretch out into the stratosphere.

John Johanna’s beautiful new record pairs his spare, haunting guitar work with moving, baleful vocal melodies.

I'm not sure if Diana Ross digs your version of Reflections, but I sure do. A friend of mine once said you shouldn't do covers unless you can make it your own, and you guys did that for sure.
