Tweedlers’ Jukebox Song of the Week: Dog Train

The Levellers – Dog Train

Hailing from Brighton, The Levellers have been around since the late eighties and have retained a loyal following. Though they never seemed to trouble the UK Top 10 with their singles, their albums have often hit the golden 10. My first affiliation with them came when I was watching MTV one day and happened upon the music video for Dog Train. I couldn’t resist buying the single and not just on the strength of the video.

Hope Street is another of my favorite songs by The Levellers but at a push I’d always opt for Dog Train. I’m not sure what it’s all about beyond being on the dog train but I don’t often worry about deciphering the meaning of a song. I’m quite content to sit back and enjoy another classic song and though this one only peaked at #24 in the UK charts it still brings back fond memories for me.
