This train will depart
leave behind your worries
and your broken heart
this train will depart
in two minutes.

It was two minutes
years ago
and I should know
I was there
without a care
just being me.

Friday  
hip hip...
no replacement
necessary,

commuters

Indian man wearing
an 'England' shirt
his lady friend
in a very short
skirt,

a bobbled hat infant
sleeps like an innocent
is anyone getting my
drift?

Pink is the predominant
colour
making the journey
much brighter.

Young girl
with candy floss hair
looks like all the fun
of the fair,

Mr hi tech
nearly broke his neck
looking at her.

He's got a
Borstal crop,
sitting holding a
laptop
I wonder if it's
nicked.

Is that a bit naughty?
he looks 'a bit tasty'
like he could
'sort me out'
I'd better keep my thoughts
to myself

Sad Ida?
but that's a reflection
when she turns around
I see it's Adidas,

be sad if her name
was ida.

A man bag
with a name tag
tells me his name
is Cecil
which sounds
reasonable.

Nearing Bond Street
and got to alight
I might catch you
later.
