Last night before I went to bed I listened to a track from one of my favorite groups, the Pet Shop Boys. The track is called “King’s Cross” and is a social commentary on living conditions around the King’s Cross Underground station in London.
Already eerie enough is the fact that the Pet Shop Boys wrote and recorded this song in 1987, and a short time later there was a fire at King’s Cross, killing 31 people. The lyrics of the second verse contain the lines, “Only last night I found myself lost / By the station called King’s Cross / Dead and wounded on either side / You know it’s only a matter of time.”
Even more eerie is me listening to the song last night and turning on the news when I woke up at 1 PM today.
I guess I should delete that song from my library.
