She makes living in this world feel like dreaming

Things I saw on my way to work this morning...

A guy in his late twenties, striding down the platform, wearing skinny black jeans and a black velvet military-style jacket. He had dyed-black, artfully-messy hair and a general demeanour of hoping you'd mistake him for Russell Brand.

A grey-haired man in a sober suit, dark tie, polished black shoes and sensible anorak. As he crossed one leg over the other, he revealed hot pink stripey socks.

A bulky bloke wearing two incredibly thick, fluffy-looking hoodies. I wanted to hug him to see if he was as cuddly as he looked :)

A girl in her early twenties wearing fantasically high heels, a very tight, short, purple dress and a tiny black jacket. She looked stunning, but when she sat down in Natwest's waiting area she matched the purple chairs exactly.

Definitely considered a faux pas!

I dunno - maybe she was just planning to sneak up on her financial advisor, or something!

(And both the chairs and her dress were a very nice shade of purple :)

Urban ninja - moving amongst you unseen! Swift, deadly, in need of a little financial advice!

And you didn't get me his phone number because...? *grins*
I do love me some pretty arty boys.

... because I was inside the train, and he was outside, and I don't know the BSL for "Excuse me, my friend wants your phone number". I shall endeavour to rememdy this!

Each to their own ;)

Much appreciated!

May I have a kudo for "When she wears black clothes" by Robin Laing?

You may :)

Although, having just gone looking for it on YouTube, it seems that John Wright sang "She makes living on this earth more like dreaming". Does Bob sing different words, or have I just misremembered?

more like is right, just assumed youd missed it out.

See, it's posts like this that make me wish Livejournal had a "like" button. I have absolutely nothing worth saying to say, but want to find a way to express my gratitude for making my day more pleasant.

Thanks.

I often find myself in that position. Fortunately, having nothing worth saying has never stopped me yet ;)
