My homage to a unjustly neglected band The Vulgar Boatmen whom I discovered in the early 1990s. They also drew on Velvet Underground but with an academic (lead singer a film tutor later) twist.

Check out their stuff at link below.

I always see the old Dragon Hotel as the location ..

A GWR Railway Hotel sadly demolished to make way for the usual crap in the 1990s...now they planning a 'Gateway' on the site utter crap...money talks..the new Reading anybody?

lyrics

ROOM 22

STANDING AT THE WINDOW LOOKING NORTH
THROUGH THE POWER-LINES AND THE RAIN AS IT FALLS
IT FEELS THE SAME AS THE DAY WE BOTH STAYED
IN THIS HOTEL ROOM ON THAT SUMMER'S DAY


SAME ROOM SAME VIEW STATION VIEW

ROOM 22


NOW THE HILLS ARE COVERED WITH SNOW
THERE'S JUST BARE TREES AND CROWS
I REMEMBER US WALKING AROUND THIS TOWN
WITH YOU UNTIL THE SUN WENT DOWN

IT'S THE SAME ROOM THE SAME VIEW

ROOM 22

THEN YOU GOT MARRIED SOMEWHERE DOWN THE LINE
MAYBE I'VE PASSED BY YOU ONCE OR TWICE
BUT TONIGHT ALL I HAVE IS THE MEMORY OF YOU
AS I STARE THROUGH THE POWER-LINES AT THE VIEW


IT'S THE SAME ROOM THE SAME VIEW

ROOM 22 WITHOUT YOU
