10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1, we have lift off! Well maybe not quite, but the bus might leave on time. No links or adverts to the bus company in this picture: The bosses are rich enough! The picture is of Perth Bus Station.

Paul @ Kulay inspired me to take this picture when he took a picture of Castle Terrace Car Park in Edinburgh.

The title for today's shot is taken from that great Ultravox track, 'All Stood Still' from their 1981 album 'Rage In Eden'.


All Stood Still
The lights went out, (the last fuse blew)
The clocks all stopped, (it can't be true)
The program's wrong, (what can we do?)
The printout's blocked. (it relied on you)

The turbine cracked up,
The buildings froze up,
The system choked up,
What can we do?

Please remember to mention me,
In tapes you leave behind.

We stood still,
We all stood still,
Still stood still,
We're standing still.

The screen shut down, (there's no reply)
The lifts all fall, (a siren cries)
And the radar fades, (a pilot sighs)
As the countdowns stall. (the readout lies)

The turbine cracked up,
The buildings froze up,
The system choked up,
What can we do?

Please remember to mention me,
In tapes you leave behind.

We stood still,
We all stood still,
Still stood still,
We're standing still.

The black box failed, (the codes got crossed)
And the jails decayed (the keys got lost)
Everyone kissed, (we breath exhaust)
In the new arcade. (of the holocaust)

The turbine cracked up,
The buildings froze up,
The system choked up,
What can we do?

Please remember to mention me,
In tapes you might leave behind.

We stood still,
We all stood still,
Still stood still,
We're standing still.

We stood still,
We all stood still,
Still stood still,
We're standing still.
