http://www.jefflitmanmusic.com Detroit Layover: studio version from Jeff Litman's 2009 release, Postscript.
The train roars past down an endless hall,
Iâm the last one standing up against the wall.
And it donât make sense.
This looks a little familiar.
88 days since I made up my mind,
but its all the same,
I got nothing but time.
And this rain delay
is getting longer and longer.
This Detroit Layoverâs gone on too long.
the second hand is ticking round and round
I have bounced around from state to state,
but now I just want to go home.
Someone come and get me off the ground.
Reverse Course, thought Iâd give it a try
just had to cut my losses, itâll all be fine.
But the pilot says, âit looks like weâre going nowhere.
Off and running put my foot on the gas,
I drive around in circles,
going nowhere fast
and I donât know how Iâm going to find my way out there.
Oh, this Detroit Layoverâs gone on too long.
the second hand is ticking round and round
I have bounced around from state to state,
but now I ...
The pair are now in prison together after the school bus incident. Paddy is forced to share a cell with a tennis-playing Cliff Richard impersonator who actually believes he is Cliff. After an uncomfortable first night, Paddy admits his fear of being 'bummed' (see sodomy) in the shower room by Raymond the Bastard (played by Everal Walsh). Max convinces him the best thing to do is make the other prisoners believe they are not just two silly doormen, but genuine big-league gangsters called 'The Phoenix Twins'. After an altercation with a camp inmate called Pepe, Max and Paddy are soon confronted by the main man of their wing, Raymond The Bastard, who is also Pepe's boyfriend. Raymond is the worse of Paddy's nightmares when Paddy drops the soap, and is eagerly commented about his manhood as "Stunning, like a young Burt Reynolds!". Raymond has heard about the pair's alleged big-money heists and robberies, and wants a cut of their money. Max agrees just to get Raymond off their backs and receive preferential treatment, including access to luxury chocolates and Sky+ .
Soon, their old Phoenix Club boss Brian Potter (played by Kay) unexpectedly comes to visit, along with a cake, announcing that he's organising several events to help speed up their release. They spurn him, not wanting a high profile campaign ruining their chances of release. Potter, as ever, fails to listen, and the whole wing later see him on the TV news talking about 'the doormen' Max and Paddy: thus showing up their tall stories as lies. The episode concludes with Tina, Max's ex-love, admitting to the authorities that Daniel is actually Max's son and he was acting under stress when he stole the bus. The pair are pardoned and get revenge on Brian Potter by informing the Home Office that he has biological weapons at his club. We find out in this episode that Max's full name is Maxwell Bygraves, a jokey reference to the veteran British entertainer Max Bygraves.
Song: Who You Are Artist: Telegram Album: We Look And See Available for purchase, on BandCamp http://telegram.bandcamp.com Lyrics: Planet Emily, nothing for it, IâÂÂm in orbit. Gravity! Been out here for years, space gets lonely, when youâÂÂre only on your own. Tired of the reasons not to try, IâÂÂve been wondering all my life. I found a place beyond the stars, got away from where they are. Think IâÂÂll stay with Emily. I keep an open mind, searching for a perfect summer afternoon. Touching down, my home is high above me, say you love me one more time...one more time. Finding that thereâÂÂs more than IâÂÂve seen. Wide eyed; it seems better than my dreams. I see trees, and flowers grow, bluebird sings and I donâÂÂt know what it means, Emily. All of a sudden worlds starts spinning, fall on my hands the monsters come at night. I'm terrified. Now I can feel my heart rate speeding. Never thought I'd regret this. It's a trap, a lie. I'm paralyzed. Making me feel like I've got nothing better than this. Is it too late to hide? Run! ...all messed up with nowhere to go... A bit lost in space but IâÂÂm okay. "copyright 2010 Northern Records LLC"

Long before any humans settled on the Cape Peninsula in South Africa baboons were already there.
The Cape of Good Hope, 65 km south of Cape Town in South Africa, is the most south-westerly point of the African continent. This spectacularly beautiful piece if land known as the Cape Peninsula looks like a long crooked finger pointing down to the South Pole. It is home to a multitude of plants and animals including the Chacma baboon (Papio Ursinus).
This 52 minute documentary, shot over a period of 7 years, tells the story of the last remaining baboons that are locked into a fierce battle for territory with humans who arrived much later.
Since the turn of the century these baboons have effectively been cut off from the rest of their brothers and sisters in Africa by a veritable wall of development. Now they have nowhere else to go and as their natural habitat shrinks, frequent clashes occur with their neighbouring primates, humans.
