Jimmie Standing In The Rain - Elvis Costello

Third-Class ticket in his pocket
Punching out the shadows underneath the sockets
Tweed coat turned up against the fog
Slow coaches rolling o'er the moor
Between the very memory
And approaches of war
Stale bread curling on a luncheon counter
Loose change lonely, not the right amount

Forgotten Man
Of an indifferent nation
Waiting on a platform at a Lancashire station
