Lou, Tammy was so delightfully retro.
Have you heard this?

Half Past France, by John Cale
I suppose I'm glad I'm on this train
And it's long
Somewhere between Dunkirk an Paris
Most people here are still asleep
But I'm awake
Looking out from here -- at half-past FranceThings are much different here than Norway
Not so cold
Wonder when we'll be in Dundee
Old Hollweg knows his way around
He's no fool
Wish I'd get to see my son againFrom here on it's got to be
A simple case of them or me
If they're alive then I am dead
Pray God and eat your daily bread
Take your timeWe're so far away
Floating in this bay
We're so far away from home
Where we belongI'm not afraid now of the dark anymore
And many mountains now are molehills
Back in Berlin they're all well fed
I don't care
People always bored me anyway.From here on it's got to be
A simple case of them or me
If they're alive then I am dead
Pray God and eat your daily bread
Take your timeWe're so far away
Floating in this bay
We're so far away from home
Where we belong.
