Discover the story of the song > National Express – The Divine Comedy

The song talks about taking a trip on the National Express bus when things aren't going well in life. The bus caters to all kinds of people, from the elderly to children, students to family men. On the bus, there is a cheerful hostess who sells snacks and drinks, but they're quite expensive. Despite the expense, taking a trip on the National Express is worth it, as the air is free and it's a good way to feel better when feeling blue.
