"Time Travel"

Can anyone explain
How they can turn
London Bridge Station
Into a permanent building site
Spending millions of pounds
To modernise the place
So we can spend millions of pounds
Paying it back
On their new fancy concourse
To keep up with the Shard
As we fume silently
Still upper lip and all that
As we wait for our delayed trains
Which they blame on us anyway
Due to some passenger or other
Falling ill on a preceeding train
Probably fainting at the latest
Mega-unfair fare rise.
But despite coining in it
You cannot work out how
To change the time
On the digital clock
At the bottom of the escalators
Going down the tube?
On the plus side...at least
It will be accurate again
At the end of October
When the clocks go back
So you're only fuckwits
For half the year.

( At you go down the escalators on the concourse at london Bridge, heading to the Underground there's a digital clock hanging from the ceiling, where they never change the time when the clocks go back or forward)
