Lyrics: yes.The song describes the writers longing to return home to his then girlfriend, who was in London. It is uncertain exactly where the song was written, however his singing partner in an interview with Paul Zollo for SongTalk Magazine, said that the song was written in a train station "around Manchester" while in an earlier interview for Playboy Magazine, the writer himself mentioned the train station was at Liverpool. It is likely, however, that it was written at Widnes railway station during a long wait for a train, when traveling back from Widnes, where he had been playing; a commemorative plaque is displayed on the wall of the Liverpool-bound waiting room.
I had a typically undisciplined session this morning. Rather than a steady 16M, I blew it all on the first 8M loop in a vain attempt to impress club mates! Did four more miles at a much more sedentary pace...much to the amusement of some, but nevertheless avery worthwhile effort.
