There's time to catch maybe up to a verse of whatever they're doing, as you wander past through the underpass on the way to the train.
The one yesterday was doing a fairly creditable go at 'Private Universe', on acoustic guitar. Except, I've always heard the line as "every night about six o'clock the birds come home to the palms to talk", whereas he sang 'farm' for 'palms', which is probably right, I haven't been bothered to go look it up though.
The one today had an electric guitar, and I thought (as I walked closer/past, listening) 'that sounds like a Paul Kelly song'. I was kind of right - it was "It Started With a Kiss" - a version as different to either Hot Chocolate's or Paul Kelly's as those are to each other. Not a song you can go far wrong with, whatever you do to it.
