lyrics

(the 43)

Number forty-three from ours to campus took an hour ten
Every morning for two years, top deck, back seat, headphones in
Man was writing bars in a margin of a lecture note back then
And handing in the note with the bars still on it, in the bin

Lecturer never mentioned it, not once
Marked the work, gave me a two-one, said nothing

Bus to the campus, bus to the campus, same seat every day
Two lives on one journey and I never picked a side
Bus to the campus, bus to the campus, and I got off halfway
One term short of finished with a model I can't hide

Saw him in a Sainsbury's in July, my lecturer
Said "still writing?" I said "yeah." He said "good." That's it. That's her.

(halfway)
