2008: UK & Ireland Tour

A foggy day back in the U.K. On a train to Sheffield, England. The accents have changed. The scenery (or what I can see of it), is very different. There’s coffee fumes in the air from the buffet car. Bleary-eyed Saturday shoppers are shuffling along in the carriages, for a boost of morning brew (with chocolate sprinkles). Autumn looks like it’s been and gone. Trees stripped bare of leaves. Frost on the wiry grass. Thick.. Thick, fog. To be honest, I can’t see a lot at all. Aside from the occasional rooftop, lonely-looking horse, or another patchwork field. It’s all quite poetic. To think that it was the start of the summer days, when Coldplay took the stage for t…

Hi, hope this is the right forum for this question (apologies if not)... On the Brixton Academy FM broadcast (16.6.08) Chris plays and sings a little burst of a song after Square One which segues nicely into 'Trouble'. Could anyone please tell me the name of this song and who it's by? Is 'Girls Aloud' ('allowed'?) the name of a group? (This is what Chris seems to say). Thanks in advance.
