Last Bus From the Che
Rob Crow Lyrics

The lyrics to Rob Crow's Last Bus From the Che present an internal struggle within the singer's mind. The main chorus line of the song, "What if the last bus is gone? Should I leg it so far? I'll leave. All right, I go away," reflects the singer's desire to leave the place, which is the "Che," and the uncertainty of whether they should leave or not, given the possibility of missing the "last bus." The ambiguity in this line highlights a sense of hesitation within the singer, suggesting they may have an internal conflict that prevents them from making a clear decision.

The song also features a self-deprecating tone, implying that the singer believes their experience at the Che has been uneventful so far. They're waiting for that one crucial moment or song that would make their time at the place worth it. The line, "Maybe this is their last song, maybe after this here song, then I can leave happily even though they haven't played my favorite song," suggests that the singer has not enjoyed the songs played so far, and they're waiting for the "favorite song" to make the experience more satisfying.

The final verse suggests a moment of resolution, as the singer hears their "favorite song" as the last song played before they leave. This seems to reconcile the internal conflict presented earlier in the song, as they decide to stay just for that "one more song." Overall, the singer's desire to leave the Che presents a sense of aimlessness, which is only corrected by the "favorite song" playing at the end.
