Tom enters a magazine competition

Tom decided to have a go at a caption competition in the music magazine, Q. The picture showed David Bowie leaning out of an old British Rail train window, dressed in a black and white striped suit, talking to the train conductor. Unfortunately, Tom did not win as he decided the scene deserved more than a one-liner, so he submitted a short conversation instead! See how many Bowie album titles you can spot in the following dialogue:

“‘Scuse me, mate.”
“‘Low.”
“When does this Tin Machine leave?”
“Oh, Hours yet. Tonight, I think. The Next Day, maybe. Never Let Me Down, though. Station to Station, that is.”
“But, Reality…?”
“Scary…”
“Listen. I’m The Man Who Sold the World, Earthling.”
“Young Americans, eh,” said the conductor, shaking his head.
“Hey. Let’s Dance. Outside.”
“Hunky Dory.”
