I don't know whether I can honestly say this the song 'feels like home' to me, but I do recall once, long ago, arriving in Edinburgh from London, and walking up the Bridges with <cite>Transformer</cite> playing, and thinking it felt like coming home. 'Walk on the Wild Side' is the second track from <cite>Transformer</cite> to feature on [Crucial Tracks](https://app.crucialtracks.org/), I note, but that's not surprising. I'd consider it a 'crucial album'.
