"Down in the Tubeway Station at Midnight" is one of the my favorites - Weller said it was his attempt to do a Play for Today in three minute pop

but there's things about it that puzzle me

he's bringing a curry home for the wife and then are planning to eat at, what, getting on for 1-AM? that is a recipe for acid reflux

also, the buying of a curry and the taking of public transport - in most places in London your takeaway would be walking distance -

he says to the right wing thugs, "my wife's waiting - she's lining up the cutlery and polishing the glasses and pulling out the cork"

it doesn't quite hang together as a scenario

then he's lying there beaten up and (perhaps) dying

"I glanced back on my life
And thought about my wife
Cause they took the keys - and she'll think it's me
And I'm down in the tube station at midnight
The wine will be flat and the curry's gone cold"

So clearly sparkling wine - in which case why open it in advance?

And how would the thugs even know his home address?

oh, is this an opportunity to post some (late, stalkerish ) 80's r&b?

tricks are made for kids,
don't you know that,
you without me is like cornflake without the milk,
it's my world,
you just like a squirrel without a nut'
