《Down In The Tube Station At Midnight》歌词

[00:04:07] The distant echo -

[00:04:07] of faraway voices boarding faraway trains

[00:04:07] To take them home to

[00:04:07] the ones that they love and who love them forever

[00:04:07] The glazed, dirty steps - repeat my own and reflect my thoughts

[00:04:07] Cold and uninviting, partially naked

[00:04:07] Except for toffee wrapers and this morning's paper

[00:04:07] Mr. Jones got run down

[00:04:07] Headlines of death and sorrow - they tell of tomorrow

[00:04:07] Madmen on the rampage

[00:04:07] And I'm down in the tube station at midnight

[00:04:07] I fumble for change - and pull out the Queen

[00:04:07] Smiling, beguiling

[00:04:07] I put in the money and pull out a plum

[00:04:07] Behind me

[00:04:07] Whispers in the shadows - gruff blazing voices

[00:04:07] Hating, waiting

[00:04:07] "Hey boy" they shout - "have you got any money?"

[00:04:07] And I said - "I've a little money and a take away curry,

[00:04:07] I'm on my way home to my wife.

[00:04:07] She'll be lining up the cutlery,

[00:04:07] You know she's expecting me

[00:04:07] Polishing the glasses and pulling out the cork"

[00:04:07] And I'm down in the tube station at midnight

[00:04:07] I first felt a fist, and then a kick

[00:04:07] I could now smell their breath

[00:04:07] They smelt of pubs and Wormwood Scrubs

[00:04:07] And too many right wing meetings

[00:04:07] My life swam around me

[00:04:07] It took a look and drowned me in its own existence

[00:04:07] The smell of brown leather

[00:04:07] It blended in with the weather

[00:04:07] It filled my eyes, ears, nose and mouth

[00:04:07] It blocked all my senses

[00:04:07] Couldn't see, hear, speak any longer

[00:04:07] And I'm down in the tube station at midnight

[00:04:07] I said I was down in the tube station at midnight

[00:04:07] The last thing that I saw

[00:04:07] As I lay there on the floor

[00:04:07] Was "Jesus Saves" painted by an atheist nutter

[00:04:07] And a British Rail poster read "Have an Awayday - a cheap holiday -

[00:04:07] Do it today!"

[00:04:07] I glanced back on my life

[00:04:07] And thought about my wife

[00:04:07] 'Cause they took the keys - and she'll think it's me

[00:04:07] And I'm down in the tube station at midnight

[00:04:07] The wine will be flat and the curry's gone cold

[00:04:07] I'm down in the tube station at midnight

[00:04:07] Don't want to go down in a tube station at midnight
