The wrong bus comes I stand near it anyway Feel the warm air from the engine Twenty people shivering, waiting For the last bus home
Top deck on the left so you get the heater Sit in silence and sway around I've got a lot of thinking to do On the last bus home
Find a bottle in my bag Cold water running down my throat Down down into my belly On the last bus home
His lovely, large, leering mouth He leans across to his friend Josie He leans towards me and he's sick on the floor On the last bus home
Stirring up the dust, stirring up the memories I catch a glimpse of my reflection It is my father staring back at me
Flowers taped to the railings A photograph in a plastic folder Stuck in traffic at 4am On the last bus home
Trying to look inside people's windows Probably catch glimpses of three-way sex All I see is people watching tv And someone watching me
Dad drove up on the pavement On his way to the hospital I say you're not Steve McQueen you know
Though inside I thought maybe you are, you are It's pitch black and it's pouring down Somebody's washing is still out on the line I'm thinking about living out of London On the last bus home
Josie nods, falls, sleeps, dreams of travel The Eiffel Tower and a sea of colour Mr city fox slips into an alleyway He's going home
I don't believe in destiny I don't believe in fate I don't believe that you and I were meant to be together But love is great when it's this easy All you've got to do is stick around She thinks that David Thewlis is Ian Hart She thinks when the clock goes back It'll change the timers She lost my stereo and cd
Shuddering against the glass Falling asleep still thinking of Allison Waking up and I've missed my stop And now I'm all alone
A bus pass and a pair of specs A black scarf and a record bag All left, lost, forgotten On the last bus home
