Hyper-normalisation (drunk scribbles on a train)

Nina Simone, occupying ears singing about bed and dressers. Sparsely populated young couple Interrupted by saying amusements. Only two stops I know where to get off I knew to mind the gap I'm a responsible citizen Voter with a valid railcard Only two stops Purchased a ticket Only two stops I can not throw up in that time I can not clear my system of over-priced beer A niche in the market Exploited in the name of money Making let's just raise them let's charge extortionate rates for an autoimmune disease Paying to support a normal drinking culture embedded into the narrative Growing by in the western world Listening to Nina Simone Only one stop now you'd never know what life would be like Without loud pop charts entertaining a few leaving the others yearning the return of ABBA when times were simpler and people cared about Eurovision and illegal music was your own “Tickets please” He seems awfully jolly for a late night shit-shift on Arriva Trains Wales Who's making him work and why's he So goddamn happy about it Real extra effort! Soul sapping in my opinion Last stop gotta get off.
