A total metaphor for Ray and his Kinks. At this point most of Ray's peers, including the Beatles, where off on their ego, lsd induced trips, jumping on the hippie band wagon. But good old Ray was still writing absolute gems with a clear, precise, geniune mind. An island on to himself, the man's a genius!!!

It's so hard to believe this album only sold 25,000 copies world wide when the quality of the material was so excellent. There is NO one like Ray Davies! God save the Kinks and Preserve Ray Davies!

@martykate It's somewhat excusable back then because people had such a wide selection of great albums, unlike nowadays where good albums are purposely suppressed to make it easier to market schlock.

I can't believe all the comments alluding to this song being about trains.

Blues music is always associated with trains, only a genius would turn it into a political pop song with such a concise and candid point highlighting the frightening speed at which the modern world is moving and changing , that genius was Raymond Douglas Davies

The opening almost sounds like CCR. Anyone else agree?
