The Passenger

This is one of the early Wall Of Voodoo songs, from their very first 12" EP. It's a songpeople probably won't be hearing too much, as it's about terrorism from the terrorist's point of view. It's one of Stan Ridgway's many story songs – it doesn't take a position either way; it merely reports on the events. It's kinda-available on the Index Masters CD, but that's out of print and kind of hard tocome by sometimes. It's really good, though, so if you see it, I recommend picking it up. (This is also the source – both the 12"and this CD – for their cover of "Ring Of Fire", which is another song I like sharing a lot.)
