[ti: Journeyman]
[length: 03:58]
[00:10.98]Spine-tingling railway sleepers
[00:13.56]Sleepy houses lying four-square and firm
[00:22.13]Orange beams divide the darkness
[00:24.83]Rumbling fit to turn the waking worm.
[00:33.64]Sliding through Victorian tunnels
[00:36.27]Where green moss oozes from the pores.
[00:44.25]Dull echoes from the wet embankments
[00:47.09]Battlefield allotments. Fresh open sores.
[00:55.48]In late night commuter madness
[00:58.33]Double-locked black briefcase on the floor
[01:06.77]Like a faithful dog with master
[01:09.81]Sleeping in the draught beside the carriage door.
[01:18.07]To each Journeyman his own home-coming
[01:21.58]Cold supper nearing with each station stop
[01:29.01]Frosty flakes on empty platforms
[01:32.57]Fireside slippers waiting. Flip. Flop.
[01:40.70]Journeyman night-tripping on the late fantasic
[01:46.25]Too late to stop for tea at Gerard’s Cross
[01:51.94]And hear the soft shoes on the footbridge shuffle
[01:56.85]As the wheels turn biting on the midnight frost.
[02:06.77]On the late commuter special
[02:09.47]Carriage lights that flicker, fade and die
[02:18.24]Howling into hollow blackness
[02:20.97]Dusky diesel shudders in full cry.
[02:29.38]Down redundant morning papers
[02:32.69]Abandon crosswords with a cough
[02:40.13]Stationmaster in his wisdom
[02:43.43]Told the guard to turn the heating off.
