The true story of singer/songwrter Stew Simpson bumping into the Playwright Alan Bennet

lyrics

Nice to meet you Mr Bennett

Go
Nice to meet you Mr Bennett
You’ve been on my mind
I’d like to shake the hand of talking heads
And turn around leave us all behind

Do you mind the gap?
Between the platform and the ride
What hides inside the tube of life?
The northern line resides

History repeats and brings up words of meaning
Funny how they’re trapped in time
Stranger than the fiction
My eyes have left behind
Between the page my eyes and mind

Do you mind the gap?
Between the platform and the ride
What hides inside the tube of life?
The northern line resides

Milk sugar and some buggery
And ladies camped in vans
Would scare the likes of girls and Dracula
In Camden smoking hams

Do you mind the gap?
Between the platform and the ride
What hides inside the tube of life?
The northern line resides

Do you mind the gap?
Between the platform and the ride
What hides inside the tube of life?
The northern line resides
