This could not be more pertinent, and it was written by Midge Ure!
One man on a lonely platform
One Mags standing by his side
Two eyes twitching cold and silent
Shows fear as he turns to hide
Fade To Gray lyrics
Songwriters: Ure, Midge; Currie, Billy; Payne;
One man on a lonely platform
One case sitting by his side
Two eyes staring cold and silent
Shows fear as he turns to hide
Ah, we fade to gray, fade to gray
Ah, we fade to gray, fade to gray
Un homme dans une gare desolee
Une valise a ses cotes
Deux yeux fixes et froids
Montre de la peur lorsqu'il
Se tourne pour se cacher
Ah, we fade to gray, fade to gray
Ah, we fade to gray, fade to gray
Sent la pluie comme un ete ecossaise
Comme les notes d'une chanson lointaine
Sortant de derriere d'un poster esperant
Que la vie ne fut si longue
Ah, we fade to gray, fade to gray
Ah, we fade to gray, fade to gray
Feel the rain like a Scottish summer
Hear the notes from a distant song
Stepping out from a back door Subway
Wishing life wouldn't be so dull
Ah, we fade to gray, fade to gray
Ah, we fade to gray, fade to gray
Ah, we fade to gray
Deperir a gris
Ah, we fade to gray, fade to gray
Deperir a gris
Ah, we fade to gray, fade to gray
Ah, we fade to gray
Deperir a gris
Ah, we fade to gray, fade to gray
Ah, we fade to gray

Tremendous!
I think the lyrics to "Don't sleep in the Subway darling" are quite appropriate too...
You whistle it and I'll come in on banjo...
You wander around on your own little cloud
When you don't see the why or the wherefore
You walk out on me when we both disagree
'Cause to reason is not what you care for
I've heard it all a million times before
Take off your coat, my love, and close the door
CHORUS:
Don't sleep in the subway, darlin'
Don't stand in the pouring rain
But don't sleep in the subway, darlin'
The night is long
Forget your foolish pride
Nothing's wrong
Now you're beside me again
You try to be smart, then you take it to heart
'Cause it hurts when your ego is deflated
You don't realize that it's all compromise
And the problems are so overrated
Goodbye means nothing when it's all for show
So why pretend you've somewhere else to go
Don't sleep in the subway, darlin'
Don't stand in the pouring rain
But don't sleep in the subway, darlin'
The night is long
Forget your foolish pride
Nothing's wrong
Now you're beside me again
CHORUS
Don't sleep in the subway, darlin'
Don't stand in the pouring rain
But don't sleep in the subway, darlin' . . .

I'd have went for Del Shannon's 'Runaway'.
Well Mr McLachlan.
It it Iain Grey or isn't it?
I think the folk of Auchtermuchty should be told.
Ahem to quote the Go Go's. My lips are sealed...
Sorry chaps I toyed with the idea of leaving all comments open. Sadly this has produced a plethora of online offers to not only stiffen my todger to spring board levels of rigidity, but also to make it grow to inordinate lengths that would make an elephant wince...
I prefer this one by wee Jimmy fae the Mulk
