> [@VunderBob](#): > > “5:15 AM” by Mark Knopfler, which is a different song. Like them both. And a different time, I think, as I am pretty sure _The Who_’s song is about a train at 5:15 _PM_, a train to take London commuters back home. ¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬ “My baby takes the morning train He works from nine till five and then…” Sheena Easton. (The song was entitled Nine to Five" when originally released in Britain, but the title was changed to “Morning Train”, in America, because of the similarly titled Dolly Parton song, and associated movie, that came out at about the same time.) I am constantly tempted to think that _The Doors_’ “Five to One” is a reference to a time, but, of course, it isn’t really. That does remind me, however, that in _The Doors_’ “The End,” “The killer awoke around midnight.” ---

> [@njtt](#): > > That does remind me, however, that in _The Doors_’ “The End,” “The killer awoke around midnight.” ⭕( Perhaps I misremembered that one. A lyrics site says he awoke “before dawn”, which is probably not a precise enough time to count. ¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬ I have another though: “Well, she comes around here Just about midnight” - “Gloria” by _Them_ (Van Morrison). ---
