Journey of Words

I drove that route most days
Avoiding the dual carriageway
Through the back lanes of Hertfordshire
Over the motorway
Into that pointless job
Then I drove home again
I'd go up the dual carriageway back
It was the fastest way home
I listened to a lot of music on that commute
Most days I'd play something by Andy Bell and Vince Clarke
'A Little Respect' was my favourite
But 'Ship of Fools' would have been more apt
