《Down In The Tube Station At Midnight》歌词

[00:00:00] Down In The Tube Station At Midnight - The Jam (果酱乐队)

[00:00:27] The distant echo -

[00:00:29] Of faraway voices boarding faraway trains

[00:00:34] To take them home to

[00:00:37] The ones that they love and who love them forever

[00:00:43] The glazed dirty steps - repeat my own and reflect my thoughts

[00:00:52] Cold and uninviting partially naked

[00:00:56] Except for toffee wrapers and this morning's paper

[00:01:00] Mr Jones got run down

[00:01:03] Headlines of death and sorrow - they tell of tomorrow

[00:01:05] Madmen on the rampage

[00:01:08] And I'm down in the tube station at midnight

[00:01:20] I fumble for change - and pull out the Queen

[00:01:25] Smiling beguiling

[00:01:28] I put in the money and pull out a plum

[00:01:33] Behind me

[00:01:37] Whispers in the shadows - gruff blazing voices

[00:01:42] Hating waiting

[00:01:46] "Hey boy" they shout - "have you got any money "

[00:01:49] And I said - "I've a little money and a take away curry

[00:01:53] I'm on my way home to my wife

[00:01:56] She'll be lining up the cutlery

[00:01:58] You know she's expecting me

[00:01:59] Polishing the glasses and pulling out the cork"

[00:02:02] And I'm down in the tube station at midnight

[00:02:14] I first felt a fist and then a kick

[00:02:18] I could now smell their breath

[00:02:22] They smelt of pubs and Wormwood Scrubs

[00:02:27] And too many right wing meetings

[00:02:30] My life swam around me

[00:02:33] It took a look and drowned me in its own existence

[00:02:39] The smell of brown leather

[00:02:41] It blended in with the weather

[00:02:44] It filled my eyes ears nose and mouth

[00:02:46] It blocked all my senses

[00:02:47] Couldn't see hear speak any longer

[00:02:50] And I'm down in the tube station at midnight

[00:02:55] I said I was down in the tube station at midnight

[00:03:05] The last thing that I saw

[00:03:07] As I lay there on the floor

[00:03:09] Was "Jesus Saves" painted by an atheist nutter

[00:03:11] And a British Rail poster read "Have an Awayday - a cheap holiday -

[00:03:16] Do it today "

[00:03:17] I glanced back on my life

[00:03:18] And thought about my wife

[00:03:19] 'Cause they took the keys - and she'll think it's me

[00:03:22] And I'm down in the tube station at midnight

[00:03:25] The wine will be flat and the curry's gone cold

[00:03:28] I'm down in the tube station at midnight

[00:03:32] Don't want to go down in a tube station at midnight

[00:03:38] Don't want to go down in a tube station at midnight
