*(Intro – Spoken)* This was meant to be Stratford… A clean loop. A planned loop. Then one moment… Missed the X18. …and everything collapsed. --- *(Verse 1 – The Moment It Died)* 664 out of Southam lane, Standard route, no stress, no pain, Long Itchington then Offchurch glide, Cubbington rolling countryside. Pulled in Leamington, stepped outside— Then saw it… pulling away in stride. X18 gone. Just like that. Stratford loop? Yeah… forget that. --- *(Chorus)* 🎵 Missed the X18, plans fell apart, Whole loop dead from the very start, But I stayed moving, didn’t stop— Built a new loop on the spot. Not what I planned, not what I drew, But somehow still made something new, From one mistake, a different route— Improvised loop… absolute. 🎵 --- *(Verse 2 – The Recovery Begins)* 67 down to Sydenham way, Middle Parade saved the day, Short little ride, reset the flow— Didn’t know where this loop would go. Then U1A, brand new bus, Whitnash roads, just me and us, Heathcote stretch, something fresh— Already turning into a mess 😭 --- *(Verse 3 – This Makes No Sense)* Then U1 back the other way, Warwick Uni… nah not today, Got off where I started from— Even I was like “what have I done?” Loop inside nothing, pointless spin— This is where chaos sets in. --- *(Chorus)* 🎵 Missed the X18, lost the plan, Now I’m just moving because I can, No direction, no set route— Still somehow making a loop. Left and right, then back again, Same old stops, different lens, Not efficient, not that clean— But still counts… missed the X18. 🎵 --- *(Verse 4 – Full Pivot Mode)* X17 to Coventry ride, Kenilworth rolling by the side, Not Stratford, not even close— But at this point, who even knows. Then the 25, long route play, Haven’t done this in a while—okay. Gosford Green then Whitley flow, Ryton roads where fields still grow, Stretton bends and Princethorpe line, Marton stretch in quiet time. Birdingbury, Frankton too— Proper rural Midlands view. Then Rugby reached, big reset point— Loop somehow still joint. --- *(Verse 5 – The Long Way Back)* 63 all the way through, Dunchurch roads I always knew, Stockton stretch then Southam pass, Ufton roads and fields of grass. Radford Semele, Leamington near— Back where it all went wrong from here. --- *(Bridge – Still Not Done)* 67 again, same old route, Sydenham loop—repeat pursuit, Stayed onboard, no getting off— At this point I just scoffed 😭 --- *(Verse 6 – Closing It Down)* 665 for the final run, Whitnash roads in evening sun, Harbury once, then Harbury twice— Same old pattern, still feels nice. Bishop’s Itchington, Bishop’s Hill— Loop complete despite the spill. --- *(Final Chorus)* 🎵 Missed the X18, but still I won, Turned one fail into a different run, Not Stratford, not even near— But still made a loop right here. Plans can break, routes can bend, But the loop still finds an end, From chaos start to finished scene— All because… I missed the X18. 🎵 --- *(Outro – Spoken)* Stratford? …next time.
