Well I finally sat down with the Singles CD and bashed this out.  I can
play the riff at the beginning, but now that I don't have my guitar
in hand I forget it.  Agh.  I can't understand two places where Chrissy
is singing either--'crescending' and 'baggle' aren't words that I know
of, but that sounds like what she's saying.  Corrections appreciated.

I found a picture of you   oh
What hijacked my world at nights
To a place in the past we've been passed out of  oh
Now we're back in the fight
Em                A
We're back on the train (ooh, ah)
Ohh

    Back on the chain gang
The circumstance beyond our control oh

Got in the house like a pigeon from hell, oh
Crescending our eyes and descended like flies
Put us back on the train, yeah

NOTE:  If you find Gmaj/B too hard to finger, try Bm in its place.  Not
as accurate, but a hell of a lot easier.

There are about three versions of this already in the archive, but none of
them is quite right.  This one's a little better; someone sent it to me last
fall, and I recently cleaned it up because I wanted to play it.
Unfortunately, this might still have mistakes; I can't check because I don't
have the album.  I'll have to see if I can get them to play it on the radio...
