Apart from the delightful subject, I really enjoy this setting.
It was not in Moscow but rather in Leningrad that I was confronted for the first time to the magnificence of soviet metropolitan railways and boy, was it magnificent.
I also remember the long descent on one of the three stairways deep within earth and the astonishing views it gave you. Would have photographed a few pictures, if only you didn’t have to seek a permit before that.

The Piano Has Been Drinking (Not Me) | Tom Waits
An interesting live, spoken word version of this song, recorded in Dublin, 1981. Off the compilation album Bounced Checks that featured a number of different recordings and unreleased tracks.
“Our Father, who art in Cribari, hallowed be thy glass. Thy kingdom come, thy will be done, on Earth as it is in the lounges. Give us this day our daily splash, and forgive us our hangovers as we forgive those who continue to hangover against us. And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil…and somebody give us all a ride home.”
