Auctioneer (Another Engine)


Another train song. I really like the punk rock-style staccato quarter note drum hits on the verses. But just when the song picks up steam (see what I did there?) the chorus goes all Bauhaus on you. Still, for a very deep cut, it's a solid contender in Fables, where it manages to be snappy and gloomy at the same time.

I remember in high school thinking the line "take this penny and make it into a necklace when I leave" was cool, and kinda romantic in an art school dropout sort of way. Now I'm thinking, you're giving your gal a $.01 gift that she's got to make herself? What a cheapskate.
