Stop This Train?

Apart from John Mayer is there another song by this name, one that is associated with Prince?

There's a Prince song called "Train". Is that the one you're thinking of?

It was originally supposed to appear on "Dream Factory", but was later given to Mavis Staples.

At the end of the second Manchester Academy show last month they play a song (or a bit of a song) with that name, with Hannah on vocals.

Yes Hannah and josh danced and mimed to it. I don't know if it's their song or Prince is involved in it. It was like bubblegum pop, nothing like the 3EG stuff

Hmm yeah, just listened to it and it sort of sounds like Another Boy type Prince pop. Staccato up stroke, reggae like guitar rhythm.

Hannah on lead vocals but Prince is definitely doing the multi-layered "ooh-ooh-oohs" between the verses

Lyrics:

(Ooh-ooh-ohhh-ooh-wah)
I just can't get to sleep,
Feels like a couple of weeks I've been tryin'
The sound of this train is keep',
Keepin' everybody from hearing me cryin'
Cos with every other beat of my heart
I know that we should never be apart,
And Perhaps this (something) by dawn(?)
I'm gonna stop this train, and never get back on...
(Ooh-ooh-ohhh-ooh-wah)

Just somewhere in the middle,
Not too good and not too bad.
