Love Train
Wolf Mother Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

What'd you see girl on the love train
I said, what did you see girl on the love train now
Said, I gotta get back girl on the love train, oh
Said, I gotta get back girl on the love train, oh

[Repeat: x2]
I saw different faces and different places
I gotta get back girl on the love train, oh

What'd you see girl on the love train?
Said different luck is with no name
Tellin' me all things are the same
I said I gotta get back girl on the love train

[Repeat: x3]
I saw different faces and different places
I gotta get back girl on the love train, oh

[Repeat: x9]
Love

Overall Meaning

Train is a song by the Australian rock band, Wolf Mother. With its lyrics and groove, the song implores a journey on a love train through distinct phases of love. Like many rock songs, Love Train is ambiguous and allows for varying interpretations. Some listeners infer that the train is a metaphor for the journey of love, which inevitably comes with numerous faces and different places. The train is a symbol of an experience; love is incomparable, just like the experience of riding on a train.

When the singer asks the girl what she saw on the love train, he is curious about her experiences, and she replies that she saw different faces and different places, which are the constitutive elements of their love journey. The lyrics of the song express the singer's desire to return to his lover, who is on the love train, and experience love again. With its repetitive lyrics and catchy tune, Love Train is an upbeat song, and its meaning is open to interpretation.

Three players, four instruments, proof it takes just creativity to do something amazing

@Jinx_Skeel

8y↑1

+karlpalmer99 yeah technically one dude alone can build up a whole opera, but playing live it's different, and in this band you really feel the difference, what's a pity i'm such a big fan of studio sound wolfmother's but live performances omg wth is that..

@WRWidg2003

8y↑5

The White Stripes are another good example of this. Creative minds.

@emerald_archer

This is kind of a late reply, but what version of this band did you see? The new lineup isn't as good as this original lineup, shown in the video. That rhythm section was badass, Chris Ross and Heskett.

Think Andrew just brought in folks he could tell what to play. (and its why you never hear about this band anymore.)@Dash

I first thought Wolfmother was a band from the 70s. I think that this is the only modern band that has an awesome "70s rock" sound. Screw Mike Patton.
