Actually, that's a Buckingham Nicks tune. Pre-dates their joining FM.
"Railway station" is commonly heard in old country songs though, that Stevie was inspired by.
I've read a few of the British articles where they quote her using British terms, it bothers me just in how it reads - it doesn't sound like her. Especially when they quote her as saying "Mum" when you know she is saying "Mom". Saying "knackered" or "holiday" and maybe some other slang phrase I can understand. It does sound a bit affected...
