The other night I fell asleep on the train until the end of the line. I got woken up and jumped on another train that turned out to be non stop straight back to where I started an hour and a half previously. I ended up stranded at Victoria station at 2am, freezing cold and 4 hours before I had to start work.
A soundtrack for when a simple journey home turns into a twisted nightmare.

A couple of weeks ago I went out after work, fell asleep on the way home and woke up on the bus in Uxbridge at 5.30am having lost my wallet and oyster card and with no money. Got home (in Hackney) at 7.30 just as my alarm was going off to wake me up to go to work.
Love that David Lynch track! downloading…

My worst one was falling asleep on a train and waking up in Bournemouth at 4am when I meant to go to Basingstoke in north Hampshire.
More recently I found myself in East Croydon with no recollection of getting there. Another time I woke up to find myself on a train coming *into* London from the north west, when the last thing I remembered was being in Brixton.
All of those things happened more than a year ago, but I know that feeling well so am looking forward to hearing this mix.
