Fool if you think it's over-Chris Rea

They are shunned, labelled "chav scum" or worse, dumped onto sink estates and live their lives with no hope of employment or betterment, breeding children doomed to repeat the cycle. These are "Thatcher's children", when this work was lost/destroyed no one gave any thought to the fate of those left behind. These are some of the people who voted "Brexit" because they had nothing to lose.
It's true.
 
Deltics are diesel electric trains. The lines from Thornaby to Boro were the most concentrated in England.
If I am not mistaken there were 100 railway tracks between Stockton/Newport road and the river.
Not my bag but apparently a heaven for train spotters.
Anyway, deltics is about the soundtrack of youth, back in the day.
Deltics Lyrics

Burlington Zephyrs
And Kenworths that pass in the night
Deltics and Steamers and F88's in full flight
Old train take me back again
To the one that I love
Deltics

I was thinking an F88 must've been a locomotive but it looks like it's a type of lorry.
 
Favourite of mine is particularly poignant, ‘It’s All Gone’, and there’s a great extended live version somewhere on a 12inch or b-side. Lovely keyboards by a guy called Max Middleton I think. Normally the kind of self indulgent stuff you’d skip but this one is half decent.
UTB by the way
