Why exactly did Edwin Starr have to walk 25 miles?

I mean, couldn't he have got a National Express or Go-Fly charter? Walking for three days and two "lonely" nights (did he have the Levellers with him during the day then?)? I mean, does he seriously think that his "baby" is gonna welcome him with open arms and give him sweet kissin' etc.? Shoes with soles half off and bleeding feet getting her nice Axminster all soiled up? Sea cap'n beard, teeth like Plashet Sewage Works and ponging to the max? Odds on if she saw him coming "around the bend" she'd be on to the police double time! "Quick, officer, there's a smelly wino trying to get into my house!" He certainly would "stop her on sight" but wouldn't have much "contact"? Not much chance of listening to H.A.P.P.Y. Radio in the local cop shop, knees knocking a-trembly before the Desk Sergeant?

how about that bit where he goes all Satanist in the midst of the mileage countdown, "I had 10 more miles to go, I said 9, I said 8, I said 7, I said SIX! SIX! SIX!"
