I actually felt the same way when I read the news of the subway attacks.
Instantly thought of the PSB song.
I also thought of Dreaming of the Queen when Princess Diana died. It does
give a new feeling to the song and lyrics.

Does anyone else see a haunting relevance for the lyrics of the song King's
Cross after Thursday's barbaric act of terrorism? As I understand, one of
the Underground bombs exploded near that station. I re-read the lyrics and
found it chilling. "There is still no guarantee."
The man at the back of the queue was sent
To feel the smack of firm government
Linger by the flyposter, for a fight
It's the same story every night
I've been hurt and we've been had
You leave home, and you don't go back
Only last night I found myself lost
By the station called King's Cross
Dead and wounded on either side
You know it's only a matter of time
I've been good and I've been bad
I've been guilty of hanging around
So I went looking out today
For the one who got away
Murder walking round the block
Ending up in King's Cross
Good luck, bad luck waiting in a line
It takes more than a matter of time
I would also be curious to know if anyone knows what the song originally
refers to, if anything.
It is not my intent to trivialize or minimize the tragic suffering of
anyone.
