He stepped off the bus and onto the pavement. Looking up, he tried to identify the terrace of his mother's flat, but it had been too long.

History won't remember us,
The few and far between,
Lying in the poppy fields
With nothing to our name.

But they're all just places
filled with faces
I don't know.
Yeah they're all just places
filled with faces
