"Waterloo Sunset's Fine"

I've mentioned several times about having to white-knuckle it when I'm walking across the terrifying highway overpass walkway at the Metro 3x a week for 3 years now, but yesterday I was pleased to find myself walking off the train with Ray Davies' beautiful Waterloo Sunset in my ears.

I was glad to assume Ray's voice would help me over such a bridge, until I was brutally reminded what the view from my actual bridge looked like:

I still made it over, obviously, but I don't think there's ever gonna be a Waterloo Sunset made from anybody coming off that train.

Instead, let's all be grateful we live in a world with Ray Davies and Waterloo Sunset.
