See the man in the anorak clutching at his plastic box and thermos flask inside the box sandwiches egg mayonnaise See the man inthe anorak standing on platform five See the man with the five o clock eyes behind national health glasses he's harmless enough he doesn't molest children or anything like that he just collects train numbers and writes them down in his little book he has hundreds of these little books thousands even and they are all full of numbers train numbers See the man in the anorak early riser five o clock eyes behind national health glasses egg mayonaisse Video camera Home movies trains Have a few friends around Have a few beers Watch the home movies Watch the trains Egg mayonaisse
