RE: (TV) Another Bad Guy - Stalingrad



I always thought Stalingrad was about the metro station in Paris and i
always liked it for that reason. Now i learn it's just a figure of
speech...it's spoiled the song for me a little.

I'd grouped Stalingrad with Postcard from Waterloo (station in London) and 5
hrs from Calais (French port). 

Feeling very literal minded,
Mark
