0:17The distant echo
0:20Of faraway voices boarding faraway trains
0:26To take them home to
0:29The ones that they love and who love them forever
0:35The glazed dirty steps repeat my own and reflect my thoughts
0:44Cold and uninviting partially naked
0:49Except for toffee wrappers and this morning's paper
0:52Mr jones got run down
0:55Headlines of death and sorrow they tell of tomorrow
0:58Madmen on the rampage
1:01And i'm down in the tube station at midnight
1:14I fumble for change and pull out the queen
1:19Smiling beguiling
1:23I put in the money and pull out a plum
1:28Behind me
1:32Whispers in the shadows gruff blazing voices
1:37Hating waiting
1:41Hey boy they shout have you got any money
1:45And i said i've a little money and a take away curry
1:49I'm on my way home to my wife
1:51She'll be lining up the cutlery
1:53You know she's expecting me
1:54Polishing the glasses and pulling out the cork
1:57And i'm down in the tube station at midnight
2:10I first felt a fist and then a kick
2:15I could now smell their breath
2:19They smelt of pubs and wormwood scrubs
2:23And too many right wing meetings
2:28My life swam around me
2:31It took a look and drowned me in its own existence
2:37The smell of brown leather
2:40It blended in with the weather
2:42It filled my eyes ears nose and mouth
2:43It blocked all my senses
2:45Couldn't see hear speak any longer
2:48And i'm down in the tube station at midnight
2:53I'm down now in the tube station at midnight
3:30The last thing that i saw
3:32As i lay there on the floor
3:33Was jesus saves painted by an atheist nutter
3:36And a british rail poster read have an away day
3:39A cheap holiday
3:41Do it today
3:42I glanced back on my life
3:43And thought about my wife
3:45Cause they took the keys and she'll think it's me
3:47I'm down in the tube station at midnight
3:50The wine will be flat and the curry's gone cold
3:53I'm down in the tube station at midnight
3:58Don't want to go down in a tube station at midnight
4:04Don't want to go down in a tube station at midnight
The distant echo Of faraway voices boarding faraway trains To take them home to The ones that they love and who love them forever The glazed dirty steps repeat my own and reflect my thoughts Cold and uninviting partially naked Except for toffee wrappers and this morning's paper Mr jones got run down Headlines of death and sorrow they tell of tomorrow Madmen on the rampage And i'm down in the tube station at midnight I fumble for change and pull out the queen Smiling beguiling I put in the money and pull out a plum Behind me Whispers in the shadows gruff blazing voices Hating waiting Hey boy they shout have you got any money And i said i've a little money and a take away curry I'm on my way home to my wife She'll be lining up the cutlery You know she's expecting me Polishing the glasses and pulling out the cork And i'm down in the tube station at midnight I first felt a fist and then a kick I could now smell their breath They smelt of pubs and wormwood scrubs And too many right wing meetings My life swam around me It took a look and drowned me in its own existence The smell of brown leather It blended in with the weather It filled my eyes ears nose and mouth It blocked all my senses Couldn't see hear speak any longer And i'm down in the tube station at midnight I'm down now in the tube station at midnight The last thing that i saw As i lay there on the floor Was jesus saves painted by an atheist nutter And a british rail poster read have an away day A cheap holiday Do it today I glanced back on my life And thought about my wife Cause they took the keys and she'll think it's me I'm down in the tube station at midnight The wine will be flat and the curry's gone cold I'm down in the tube station at midnight Don't want to go down in a tube station at midnight Don't want to go down in a tube station at midnight
