"(Waiting For) The Ghost-Train" is a single by Madness. Released in 1986 shortly after the band announced they were to split, it was their last single prior to reforming in 1992. It spent nine weeks in the UK charts, peaking at number 18. The song first appeared on an album on the band's 1986's Utter Madness greatest hits compilation, issued one month after its single release. A Christmas flexi-disc record containing the 'band demo' of the song was sent out to Madness fan club (M.I.S.) members, featuring farewells and thanks from each member of the band (except Barson).

| - "(Waiting For) The Ghost-Train" is a single by Madness. Released in 1986 shortly after the band announced they were to split, it was their last single prior to reforming in 1992. It spent nine weeks in the UK charts, peaking at number 18. The song first appeared on an album on the band's 1986's Utter Madness greatest hits compilation, issued one month after its single release. The song was written by Suggs about apartheid in South Africa, with its chorus "It's black and white, don't try to hide it" and the line "The station master's writing with a piece of orange chalk / One hundred cancellations, still no one wants to walk" (in reference to the South African flag). Mike Barson reunited with the other members of the band to record this song, although he did not appear in the music video. A Christmas flexi-disc record containing the 'band demo' of the song was sent out to Madness fan club (M.I.S.) members, featuring farewells and thanks from each member of the band (except Barson).

- "(Waiting For) The Ghost Train" släpptes 1986 och är den tjugotredje singeln från den brittiska ska/popgruppen Madness.Text och musik skrevs av sångaren Graham McPherson. Låten handlar om apartheid i Sydafrika, vilket 1986 fortfarande var vardag där. Bland annat går refrängen "It's black and white, don't try to hide it". (Det är svart och vitt, försök inte att gömma det). Tidigare under året hade Madness meddelat att de skulle splittras, och detta skulle bli deras avskedssingel. Michael Barson, bandets pianist som lämnat gruppen 3 år tidigare, återvände för den här singeln. Han medverkar dock inte i musikvideon. För övrgt är musikvideon en av Madness mest minnesvärda; man utnyttjar ett helt lager av och saxofonisten Lee Thompson försöker spela i takt samtidigt som han hoppar fallskärm. Bandmedlemmarna har på sig kostymer fulla med tidningsutklipp med nyheter om apartheid. "(Waiting For) The Ghost Train" låg på englandslistan i 8 veckor och nådde som bäst en artonde plats. Den skulle antagligen nått högre om den inte släppts samtidigt som alla julskivor. "(Waiting For) The Ghost Train" finns med på de flesta av gruppens samlingsskivor, b-sidorna finns med på samlingsboxen The Business. (sv)
