South Circular at Night, Clapham Common (London in Wax 1988)

All these bloody cars,

And no sign of life.

Communicate in crashes,

Hand-signs, horns or headlight flashes.

Pavements for the poor,

Nighthawks, strange sorts,

And wanderers from the local pub.

It's a lonely tour,

Walking home,

Of mini cabs, paving slabs,

And the drink drivers club.
