Background and release
Writing for "Graffiti on the Train" started when lead singer Kelly Jones thought children were trying to break into his house. When he caught them one time they explained to him they were trying to get to the railway behind his house in order to spray graffiti on a train. The idea that they were trying to spray a proposal message on one of the trains stuck with Jones[1] and subsequently appeared in the song's lyrics.[2]
