Destination Unknown

Today's lyric:
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
"I can see my lifetime pilin' up
Reaching from my bedroom to the stars
I can see the house where I was born
When I was growin' up - they say that
I could never keep my trousers up
I remember days and crazy nights
Are there any pirates on this ship?
And if they sober up - they'll have us home by morning."

Talking Heads: "Lifetime piling up"
From the album: "Once in a lifetime"

Best of Byrne

When my unusually-empty-for-a-Monday train eventually limped into East Croydon, I (and several gazillion others) hurtled over to a train which was neon-signing "To London Bridge" and, yes, over the train's own Tannoy was confirmation of my intended destination.

So I was a tad surprised to be driven over the Thames - when I normally walk over it - and with said several gazillion others was deposited at Victoria?

Isn't the Tube a fragrant and calm ocean of tranquility during the rush-hour...

Am I blummin' glad it's a short week.
