Honest use case: People who want to feel determinedly sad about things that no longer exist, set to a dance beat.

lyrics

(half the buses)

Route seventeen from Burgos stopped running in eighty-nine
The ferry from the middle leg is a company that folded
And the timetable in his hand is a document of a country
That has not existed in the shape he wrote it down

Half the buses do not exist (do not exist)
Not any more, do not exist
I checked all of them, do not exist
Do not exist

Do not exist, not exist, do not exist, not exist
I am going to walk the parts that closed and call it the route
Do not exist, not exist, do not exist, not exist
Because he planned a journey and the planning was the point

(exposed)
Mum says he would think I was mad. She is completely right.
He would have said it is a waste of money and a waste of leave.
And he would have wanted every single photograph. Every one.
(BUILD 16 BARS, HARDEST DROP)

Do not exist, not exist, do not exist, not exist
I am going to walk the parts that closed and call it the route
Do not exist, not exist, do not exist, not exist
Because he planned a journey and the planning was the point

(every one...)
