Default Don't Sleep in the Subway, Darling

I was very young when I first heard Peculia Clart's
Don't Sleep in the Subway, Darling. In those days I didn't know many
subways, but there was one from one side of Clapham Common station to the
other. That was often frequented by Tramps, and when Peculia sand about not
sleeping in the subway it was that that I thought she was asking him not to
do.

Work like the ponies in coalmines.
Dance like the teardrop explodes.
Love like you're Frank in Blue Velvet.
Sing as though your little throat would burst.

Would have been quite an appropriate song to play to the previous
Secretary of State for Transport when looking extremely bored at some
LU photocall or other.
