As John made his way to the platform, he met the passengers leaving the station. The usual late-night crowds. He's clearly travelling home at dinner time "She'll be lining up the cutlery". Yet he is still in the tube station at midnight. Can you think of a reason why he should still be there about 6 hours later? John marched down the corridor. He could hear the last train arriving. It pulled into the station and then he heard Colin’s tired monotone voice.

The word "midnight": What is midnight? Its the end of a day/ start of a new one. This may be a metaphor for the end of a life. Its midnight for a reason, I'm guessin that is it.

Then, when he finished work, he had to get home. It wasn’t too far — sometimes he took a taxi — but other times he walked and the streets were empty with strange shadows creeping across between the houses. A short corridor led to another door and a public walkway. Both sides of the walkway were filled with advertising. An overflowing rubbish bin with discarded fast-food wrappers and fizzy-pop cans at the bottom of it. John waited a second to see if Colin would volunteer to do the rounds of the station. One of them had to walk around the whole place, just to make sure there were no people left inside. A man in his forties, looking weary and deadbeat. Another poor guy doing a late shift somewhere in the city. An elderly woman, clutching her bag and looking nervous. A young woman, her eyes on the ground and walking straight ahead.Artists - The Jam". Rolling Stone. 8 November 2001. Archived from the original on 8 October 2012 . Retrieved 7 November 2020.

John nodded at the train guard — he recognised him from the dozens of times he had seen him before but could not remember his name.

Kwami from Washington Dc, DcAbsolutely great song, and agreed a great live one too. Highlight of "Live Jam" when whole crowd hums along after the chorus and then shouts "hoy!" Plastic Bag” is a song about searching for an escape from personal problems and hoping to find it in the lively atmosphere of a Saturday night party.

One of these days, Colin might move out of his chair. Although John couldn’t recall ever seeing Colin doing anything but sitting down every shift. Some of the other guys that worked in the station would put some energy into their voices or put on a funny voice.
