The Met Line Journal

The life and times of a small man called Min, his daily journey's from Rayners Lane to Farringdon.

This blog is an insight into the wonderful world of the Met Line, packed into chunky bites of random thoughts, the weird and the wonderful sites I see on my journey to and from work, and the odd comedy gag...

Friday 30th March 2012 - The Journey Home

18:43 Fast Amersham

Who hoo! Harrow we have landed. The weekend is upon us and we are feeling good. I hope you all enjoyed yourself in the sunshine again as that's it for summer.

So, let's start off with the Panorama special last night about the murder on honeymoon (in paradise) or whatever it was called. I watched all of it with all my attention (ie didn't play draw something at the same time) as I wanted to consider all the facts, the timelines, the detailed reconstructions and voiceovers. What did I learn I hear you ask? Let's see:

1) I'm never gonna buy a Zafira car as I learnt that in an emergency I can't get out through the windows...

2) Remember to clear your Internet cache history before you go on holiday

3) Hide my £25k wedding rings between the back seats (where the belts go) cos nobody will look there

4) Use the Internet room in the lobby to do deals as these don't usually have a CCTV camera; and finally

5) Go a bit mental if you the country asks you to go back as they want to have a little chat with you.

Guilty! End of..

Right back to the news.

Today's headline is "Woman burned storing Petrol". Woah, This was a woman who was pouring petrol into a container in her kitchen. I know your thinking it too...what recipe requires a sauce made of petrol. And to make matters worse...there isn't gonna even be a strike now. Get well soon lady.

Next we have the headline "Bus driver in Loo-turn". Police had to set up a roadblock when a bus was caught heading the wrong way down a one way street because the driver (lady) needed the loo, and was looking for a loo. Lool.

Finally, last night a homeless guy knocked on my door. "Excuse me, do you have any spare food?" "Yeah, do you mind if it's yesterday's dinner?" "Not at all." "Cool, come back tomorrow then."...

And that's your lot. Have a wonderful weekend. I'm off to Barcelona on a conference for 3 days so may not get a chance to blog each day.

Have a great sleep!

Good evening ladies and gents. Hope your lives are going well and you are all enjoying the sunshine. It's amazing how many happy faces I'm seeing on the tube, though this may be so with the fact that a) they have got a seat and b) it's nearly pay day.

Today's random person is reading "Girl Interrupted" and again it looks like a good one as she is 83% through it.
I was going to get her view on the book but a) I'm not a girl or b)I didn't want to interrupt her...

A lady is busy with a green highlighter pen reviewing a white paper. She has highlighted most of page 4 which either means a)someone has a lot of revisions to make tonight or b)she likes the smell of the pen...

Thanks to one of my faithful blog readers for pointing out to me today the lovely article in the Metro about cockney rhyming slang and the updated 21st century version. I've been using the phrases lush, reem and amazeballs at every opportunity and yes they did get some lools back in return!

Hey good news to share. Just outside Farringdon this evening and there was this man giving away free money. He was even playing the guitar for us all. What a great bloke...

There is a man playing tiger woods on his iPad opposite. It's quite funny as whenever he takes a shot he shifts his head back! Lool.

Today's headline is "Murdoch : Third met chief quits". Woah. This wa the PR chief who had links to a news of the world links.

There are also views from the public about the petrol stocking up saga. Suzy, 29, an accountant from Highbury is annoyed as she only has 40 miles left in her tank and needs to visit her father in hospital. I know that your thinking it too right? Crazy situation right? I mean that's either a) rubbish mpg she is getting or b) have they stopped making hospitals in Highbury??. Yeah I know that she might not actually live with her dad anymore but the joke doesn't work if you think about it too long.

Actually, due to the rising cost of fuel and impending strikes, I've had to quit my part time job as a freelance arsonist.

I see that McDonald's are offering some great prizes in their Monopoly promotion, including a Mini Cooper. Not sure if any their customers will ever fit into it though...

Thought of the day: If God refuses to believe in other gods, does that make him an atheist?

And with that I bid you a)lovely sunshine and b) a great sleep.

Well hello gang. Sorry for the no show yesterday but I didn't get out of work till late and all the people and newspapers had gone and the dog had ate the homework and I'd kinda fell asleep.

Anyhow, hope you missed me a bit and have big smiles and enjoying the lovely weather.

Let's look around...

Game of thrones is being read to my left. He is 91% through the book and I'm not sure if he is totally stimulated by it as he also had his headphones on. Maybe it's a new style of audio book...

Korean man opposite is very interested in the Carphone Warehouse advert and has been on that page for about 2 minutes now.

There are some adverts both in the paper and also posters on the tube about retuning our tv's on 4 and 18 April for Digital. How exciting, though if your Indian household is like our where a portable is MANDATORY in each room then it's time to replace those MatSui's and Albas now. See you all in Costco on the 4th...

Headline today is "Protest camp hits Olympics". Woah, it's our friends from St Paul's again. They said that "it's just the beginning". Damn I thought that the games didn't start till July...

There is also news of petrol rationing in London as panic is spreading as the tanker drivers has said they might strike over Easter. Hmmm. What would Jesus say tanker drivers...think about it.
Other have imposed £30 limits. Man that's rubbish. With the cost of fuell per litre at the moment, that's barely enough to get me back home from the filling station!..

Tip of the day: I like to relax by reloading internet pages. I find it refreshing

Right, let's leave it there! Have a great sleep!

Well hello there. How have we all been this lovely Monday?

So, first Topic. The Voice (UK). What do you reckon? I saw that the viewing figures were better than BGT. I thought the standard of singing was great but I do miss the really rubbish ones who think they are the next superstar.
The bit of them revolving round gets a bit boring after a bit. I know it's all about the voice, rather then the full picture right. In some ways I wonder if Susan Boyle would have made it on this programme where she wouldn't have had to rely on her looks to get through...

BGT was good too, and that German who did the Golden Eagle was hilarious. Especially that bit when Ant or was it Dec (the one with the big shiny head) went out to help him and broke off part of his wing was really funny.

I am at Great Portland Street and still standing. yep on one of the new (rubbish) met lines.

I see Piers Morgan has been in the news recently saying that he is suffering from fatigue. I know how he feels. I'm sick and tired of him...

Today's headline is "British Soldiers killed by afghan'. Err haraam. The gunman was in uniform and was then shot himself.

Cameron has got into some bother about the 76 donations over £250k to his party in return for din dins with himself. But thats ok as the spokesman said these were just thank you dinners, and wouldn't affect policy decision making. Hmmmm.

So yesterday I said to Preeti "I was just reading in a scientific paper that blades of grass can actually feel pain. Amazing isn't it?" To which she replied: "Nice try Kawks, the lawnmower's in the shed."

There is a particular section called 'Young, Shafted and Black'. No it's not what you think (a new cue stick right?), but about black unemployed men. Is it cos I is black? Sadly it seems so...

Looking at the business section and see Game has gone into administration. Woah! Where am I supposed to spend all my saturday afternoons now whilst I'm waiting for Rajvi!

Right, let's call it a day there. Have a great sleep!

Yippee. It's home time, the sun has got his hat on and the forecast for the weekend is looking good. Firstly humble apologies for the no show yesterday which was due to my iPhone crashing every time I opened up my blogger app. I was in tears as I'm sure you were as you were refreshing the blog page on an hourly basis.

Anyway, behaving so far so fingers crossed. The tube is fairly busy (72% full, but I've got the priority seat as I pointed to the pregnant women sitting there and said old man trumps women with bumps. As Russell says.."rules are rules"...

There is a man with a nice chandlo on his forehead. Good to see and I've bowed to him as he looked over.

I saw a clip of that new bbc series starting next week called 'syndicate' about a group of people winning the lottery and how their life changes. It's a drama rather than documentary but looks like something to see.

The women next to me is reading a lee child's book. How many books does this dude churn out! She is on page 432 so obviously still interested in whodunit.

Thought for the day: If you lose one sense, your other senses are enhanced. That's why people with no sense of humour have an increased sense of self-importance...

Let's check out the headlines: "thanks a million for gift to London". Yes it's sports relief day today. Horrah.

Back to the weather and it says here that we are going to get 6 days of hot weather. Get out people and get those suntans. I will be lying in the garden in just my pants.

Finally, I'd like to thank my skeletal system for all the support it's given me over the years.

Have a lovely weekend and a great sleep,

Good evening boys and girls. On my way home and have a big grin on my face as my parents are back from Desh after 2 months of hols. Hope my dad has learnt some new jokes that I can use for the blog. Will update you tomorrow.

There are actually a few smiling faces on the tube today so either that's because we got up to 16c of sunshine today or everyone else's parents arrived on the same flight...

Queen says love thy neighbour in today's headline. Hmm not sure Preeti will approve...

She talked about 'resilience, ingenuity and tolerance' Wowza. I didn't know she was a commuter on the met line!

Thought of the day: If you plug your headphones into the "AUX IN" port of your stereo, people can hear what you think...

Tip of the day: Get a flat stomach in 4 weeks using this weird old tip. Move.

There is an article about londoners spending £300m on going to the movies last year. Bet most of that was on getting a bag of minstrels and medium popcorn...

Jordan has a quickie (55 sec) divorce from her cage fighter husband. Remind me again why this marriage didn't work out?..

You may have seen that a group of bus drivers won £38m on the euro millions . One of them just told his passengers to get off the bus as he heard the news! Today they have told one of the ex members 'hazel' who couldn't afford the £2 a week contribution that she can't have any of the winnings as she stopped paying 6 months ago. Seems fair right. Looks like the 36 year old is gonna be single for a while longer as she resembles her mode of transport...

Good Evening. I trust you have had a good productive day. Quite a long one by my standards as I was in the office by 7:30, but all worth it as the morning gig seemed to go well.

63% full on the carriage to I won't tut at the man opposite who has his large bag on the seats and legs that wide apart that he's nearly doing the splits.
It does take some balls to pull that one off I find...

So, hope you all had a good weekend. Parents are back from India tomorrow so Preeti had me doing cleaning and shopping chores all day Saturday. Just wait till I tell mum...somebody gonna get a hurt...

On Sunday, I was enjoying a good sleep when I was rudely woken by a bloody salesman."Sir-" "Look," I said, "I'm not interested, I'm actually trying to sleep." To which he replied "Sir, are you going to buy the bed or not?"...

Ok, this next bit is a bit difficult to confess and I know I've bugged up Netflix but decided to trial lovefilms and it's actually loads better (even though it doesn't work with AppleTV). Watch source code (2011) and Swat 2011 and both were very good. Loads of Bollywood movies and it's a quid cheaper. What's not to like!

Headline today is "how I saw medics in desperate fight for fabrice". It says his heart stopped for 2 hours. Wish him the best for a speedy recovery.

Today's book reader is reading "The brightest star in the sky" by Marian Keyes. The lady reading it is on page 34 and seems to be enjoying it.

Hope all you mums got something lovely for Mothers Day yesterday. As a treat to Preeti, we went to the local south Indian restaurant as nothing is too good for my dear. Obviously helps when masala dhosa's are £3 there...

A couple have just got on and I sense they are middle class as they have wait rose bags. They are sharing some sort of chiabatta. Nice. Let's listen in...

Body language of both learning close to each other and chewing at the same rhythm seems to indicate that they are still in the 1-3 month dating phase. He is in charge of ripping up the bread and passing it to her (caveman instinct). Damn they got off at Northwick park so the experiment must end there...

Apprentice this Wednesday folks. Looking forward to it.

Feeling hungry for bread for some random reason so let's call it a day there. Have a great sleep.

Whoo hoo. Do a little Kawks dance...It's the start of the weekend and everything is right with the world!

Ok, so I nearly got in trouble because as I boarded the train and saw a spare seat, I scuffed the man sitting next to me's shoe. He was taking 80 percent of the seat and didn't seem like he wanted anyone sitting next to him. He obviously didn't know that I need to sit down to write my blog! Anyhow for about 30 seconds he just kept looking at his scuffed shoe. I ignored him and tried to look cool though inside I was doing my 'Om Namah Shivai's'..

Today's headline is "Williams quits as archbishop." nice.

Also in the news "gang bag new iPads" looks interesting will have to see what that's about later.

A girl opposite is using one of those steel claws to make her eyes look more beautiful, follow my max factor (no 283 from the tone of the brown, and dry and wet eyelash extender. can you tell I'm married to a beautician? I don't think I fully understand why ladies get ready on the tube. I don't put my trousers on once I embark or think..hmm I think I will just trim my muchi whilst I wait for a phone signal at Finchley road. I should really be taking a picture of her before and after to see if my rant was actually worth it. Thinking of suggesting that she needs to blend a bit more colour into the shadows round her nose as her nose ain't looking any shorter (or straighter).

Omg...she is getting more stuff out of her bag, and when I say bag...it's a plastic see through bag which is actually an expenses bag and she works at the same place as I do. What can I say...she looks amazing. Err time to switch subject me thinks.

So I was watching Netflix last night and at the start it said "This film may contain nudity". I mean come on, surely it does or it doesn't!

Bumped into my neighbour this morning whose recently brought a dog.
He told me how he had spent five frustrating days repeatedly shouting "Heal!" at my dog. If it doesn't work soon, He said he might just have to take him to the vet.

Read the story about the iPads. Just about people paying to queue and then selling their iPads to others at inflated prices. That's capitalism I guess.

Hey did I tell you about my recent eBay purchase? Yep brought myself a blindfold though to be honest with you my dear blog reader, I can't see myself wearing it...

Right, let's leave it there. Wishing you all a lovely sleep. See ya Monday.

Hello and welcome. I hope you are all feeling happy that the day is done and all is good in the world (except the bad things (KONY)).

"Police face the sack for being fat" is today's headline! It goes on to say 1 in 5 are revealed to be obese. Woah..sorry.. I said that because one of them nearly say on my lap and they were in the 20 percent...

Another front page story is that a third of disabled people claiming disability are actually fit to work. It goes on to say that half a million have been signed off for life when they should be looking for work. Wowza...

A woman next to me is typing a text..let's have a closer look...

"I've had it with my work, everyone else got promoted and I'm going backwards. It's a joke, I just walked out today".
Errr ok...maybe everyone isn't having the best of days. She is now listening to cosmic love.

I'm in two minds in saying that there are other options available such as joining the obsese police force or just saying your ears hurt and being signed off for life.

Question of the day: What do you get if you mix Pink and Blue? Probably the worst song ever...

The lady next to me (no not that one another one) is playing old school Solitaire on her blackberry 8520. Nice

A group of Japanese students have just got on at Northwick park. I suspect they have been in the uk for quite a while as 3 out 5 of them are how can I say this delicately...fatty bum bums. There are also not carrying nikon cameras.

That reminds me...As part of Rajvi's school project on cultural diversity she invited a local Korean family round for dinner. The school reckon it's the first case of the homework eating the dog they'd ever come across...

Right, and on that note, probably time to call it a day. Have a great sleep peeps.

Good evening. This is the six o clock news. Just a tad early. Left work at a sensible time so Preeti will be pleased as she thought me coming home late recently meant I was having an affair or something. Might just go and sit in the park for a bit...

Packed train and one finger typing today.

Headline is "Goldman boss: we call our clients muppets" err haraam. He's quit so wanted to tell why. There is quitea lot of detail but to be honest with you my dear blog reader, all I can think of is miss piggy being a client of goldmans...

Next story: Offsted chief promises to raise the bar on lit..literc..sorry cant read the next word.

Rajvi's hamster is still not well,so I drove it to the vet's this morning. I'm quite handy with my new golf clubs...

So who is looking forward to F1 returning to our screens this weekend. I think it would be so much more entertaining if they threw banana peels and turtle shells.

Advert of the day is "May the workforce be with you" sub tag - think inside the box. Any ideas what this is...? It's Krispy Kremes. Hmm who actually pronounces it as krem. And if you do, when did you turn bloody French.

That doggy strap line reminds me that we have the apprentice on our screens from next Wednesday again.

Reading the business section and I have some fantastic news to share. greggs are going to branch out into the coffee business and take on the likes of Costa and Starbucks. The first one was opened in...yep Newcastle and plans to open 3 more shortly. can I have a tall latte and cheese and onion pasty please...

Yes, you read that write. I've left work a tiny bit early as it's Rajvi's Parents evening today and Preeti said if I wanted dinner, then I'd better be home on time. It's nice going home whilst it's still dark, but the tube is still really busy.

A giant has just sat next to me and I can't see exactly how tall except that his knees are touching the other passengers and his head is close to the ceiling. My long lost brother...how have you been.

Today's headline is "Rebekah and her husband arrested". Woah. This is still to do with the phone hacking scandal.

The most important thing I've read is that tomorrow, Starbucks are offering a free latte till noon and introduce yourself. Nice. I'm going to see how many disguises I can do with different accents.

Just read that Westfield will ring up £2bn in sales and that the Stratford one is actually outperforming the west London one. I think that was obviously as Stratford has a Primark and a greggs. Also the small fact that people don't need to go as far as blue water or lakeside...but mostly down to greggs.

Thought for the day: It's funny how the word bed... looks like a bed!

The bloke next to me has a blackberry playbook (iPad wannabe) and what is he doing with this state of the art technology? He is watching bloody star wars...

Well hello there. If I sound a bit different, it's because I've not worn my coat and scarf.

There is an Indian girl and 'uncle' (50-60yrs old) talking in Gujarati. Let's listen in...

Gignesh kem chai. Bus ma ja ma.

Damn, she got off at Kings Cross. How am I gonna fill today's blog now. What I did learn about the girl in the 3.5mins since boarding at Farringdon was that she seemed to have got married here, originally from the States and to Gignesh. She had one of those 'learning to live in Britain' course books. She said she only had time to read it on the tube because of work as she goes to the Gym in the evening. "Aww Jaw" I nearly said as she left but held my tongue.

Thanks by the way for your lovely likes and comments for the Pic I put of Preeti yesterday. She was that made up that she said she ain't leaving me now. Just need to work on the next reincarnation now!

"Kens fares cut damned by city" this is the story today that ken has promised to cut fares by 7percent if he is elected. The bloke is saying that could be a reduction of £1bn. Wowza.

Hey! Good news to share. I've was told that I'm through to the final of the Russian Doll Impersonation competition. I can hardly contain myself...

The tube is fairly quiet, everyone looks tired but at least it's getting warmer. Right?

There is a story from Whitney H's daughter about how her mums spirit haunts their home and talks to her. It says lights turn on and off...woah. Sounds like that movie Raj told me about...The woman in black...still I hope Whitney told her that she will always love uuuuuu. uuuuu

Whoo hoo. It's that best time of the week where the weekend has begun and everything is alright in the world (obviously with the exception of KONY)

So, it's been a really busy week and I used 2 jokers this week (work related dinners). No sign of the update to my book being released by apple so new to look at that again tomorrow.

"I head butted two Tories admits MP" is today's story. He was a very drunk and angry and a former soldier it says.

Thought for the day: What if only the stickers are made in China?

This Indian dude looks really tired, his head is drooping by the moment and currently resting on his knees. Must have been on the early Subway shift I reckon.

It's a shame I can't take pictures as the lady opposite looks like the spitting image of a greyhound (if it was human) . I wonder what pet she owns...

Jay Z will headline the bbc outdoor festival in June. Brill.there will be 100,000 tickets for the 2 day event and all you need to do is send a pic to the BBC radio 1 website. Cool. That's brilliant..free tickets.

The tube is fairly quiet today. Everyone looks tired. Head in lap man got up and got off at, yep you guessed it Wembley Park.

I know I've not been mentioning Preeti recently but that's because this week, I've been giving her the silent treatment Unfortunately , she is not returning the favour.

Had a great day at work and left reasonably on time. First question..who is this bloody KONY guy. Actually I wish people would stop posting Kony videos on my Facebook news feed. I don't even like rap music...

There is a man opposite with a dozen red roses. Not sure if he tell him that Valentines was a few weeks ago. Maybe he was waiting for the prices to go down.

Saw the launch of the iPad yesterday. It looks good but not sure if I can justify getting another one. Watch this space.

Headline today is "Young Heros" very sad.

Advert today is "shouldn't every kid be a wellkid". How rubbish is that! Sounds like a strap line that someone from the apprentice would come up with. Yep, they also have wellbaby and Wellteen. Well bloody done.

Going home on time has put me in a right good mood and being the gentleman that I am, I've just offered a seat to a lady (being international women's day as well). The person sitting there wasn't too happy though...

Well hello there. I trust you had a great weekend and had a lovely Monday at work.

I tell you what, it's got a little bit windy again! Don't think big coat is going into storage any time soon!

So let's start with stats for the day. Torres is averaging 1.6 goals a manager at Chelsea...

The man next to me is reading a very interesting set of figures from a profit and loss account. All of it is in Chinese except the numbers and random words like EBITDA, which I hear my Cororate Finance buddies use all the time. If he gets off at Rayners, I might even ask him if he plans on buying a business. I know you were thinking it...Chinese restaurant right? How very racist of you! It could be a kung foo training school...keep you mind open as Bruce Lee once said.

Today's book being read by a passenger is "Hot Sleep" by Orion Scott. I don't know if it's any good as firstly the bloke who is reading it is only on page 8 but I'm slightly hesitating in recommending it as the bloke is wearing one of those style hats which just makes him look like a prat. Yep got long sideburns as well.

That reminds me. Was in Tesco's over the weekend and overheard this yoof say they may call them self checkouts. But he call them "I'm not paying for some of this."...errr harram

Chinese man is now asleep. Maybe he is happy with the EBITDA number and now wondering what he is having for his dinner. Errr rascist...it might not be Peking Duck you know...he may prefer Manchurian with soy sauce.

Today's headline in the evening standard is; "innocent teenager stabbed to death by gang". Very bad as my dad would say in an Indian accent. They shouldn't be allowed to have knifes he would say. It says he was a budding actor and a talented footballer. Very bad...

Change of topic. I have noticed that there are more and more people outside Farringdon station trying to hand you random leaflets and flyers. I think what they are trying to say is 'would you mind chucking this on the floor within the next 20 feet as I can't be bothered'...

Chinese man has just taken a call, and he is speaking in ....err rascist...why did you think it would be in mandarin? Just because he's reading Chinese and the names of his contacts on his Garmin phone appeared in Chinese..ah..ok he is speaking in Chinese though I did hear 'fin er chee rod' mid way through the conversation.

Right, let's leave it there. Have a great dinner (fancy a Chinese now for some reason) and a great sleep,

Yay. It's that Friday crunchy feeling! This introduction was brought to you by a well known chocolate company...

Well how are we all, and I trust you have lovely weekends planned. I have an exciting visit to the Professional Beauty exhibition on Sunday with Preeti to see what the latest fad in the beauty industry is. Let's see if it's moved from large boulders heated to the same temperature as the core of the sun placed on the victims back, to long candles place in the most delicate part of your ear whilst setting light to one side! No matter what it is, I'm sure Preeti will want to try it out on me. And that my dear blog reader is why I look this good...

Thought for the day: What if oxygen is poisonous and it just takes 85 years to kill us?

Not done people watching for a while so lets have a look. White iPhone man next to me is launching unhappy birds at pigs and lady opposite is eating some nuts (not just any nuts...M&S nuts). She is also reading something with great interest that most of the nuts are missing her mouth and falling onto the seat. Classy...

There is an African man opposite with freckles which you don't see much. I suspect that his mum may be a ginger.

That reminds me. What do you call a small ginger kid with glasses? ...Names.

There is a very sad story about PC rathbone in today's paper about how he couldn't go on with life. apparently his suicide note said :. '': ..' :' :..' ": .'.. :. '': ..' :' :..' ": .'.. :. '': ..' :' :..' ": .'..

The headline in the paper however is not that story but that "Huhne hires Harry's lawyer" to save him from the threat of jail. Wonder what his football coaching skills are like. I reckon he might want to get some tattoos now...

Just looked for adverts as I've not done them for a while. It's insure and go. So you just insure and go...ahh I see what they've done there. Classy.

They say that they have no upper age limit and kids go free. Result, time to insure the 43 year old kid I am.

Not had any feedback on the rap poem so do tell pls.

Right, Preeti is making theplas tonight my favourite so we have a great start to the weekend.

See you on Monday folks. Have a great sleep.

Thursday 1st March - The Journey Home (Rap Poem special)

Intro (with heartfelt emotion - on acoustic guitar)

3,000 views we have
Thanks to all my fans

It means so much, I'm really touched
In fact I've just brought a badge

Main bit (to the tune of Goyte with strong emotion and strange makeup)

Now and then I think of all those journeys

Like when you said you felt so happy you could go round again

Told myself that you were the best line for me

But felt so lonely in your company (after Wembley when everyone gets off)

But that was love and it's an ache I still remember (but at least I get a seat)

(Chorus)

You can get addicted to a certain kind of delay

Like resignation to the end, always the end

So when we found that we could not make sense of the announcements
Well you said that we would still be friends

But I'll admit that I was glad it was over
(at Farringdon and 30 mins late)

But you didn't have to kick me off

Make out like the delay never happened and that I am nothing

And I don't even need your seat
But you treat me like a passenger and it feels so rough

No you didn't have to drive so slow
Have your boss collect my oyster
It's all been a bit of a time waster

I guess that I don't need that though

Now you're just a tube line that I used to know

Now you're just a tube line that I used to know

(fade to black and get on the Piccadilly line)
