Paroles

Who wants to go down in the tube station at midnight?

The distant echo
Of faraway voices boarding faraway trains
To take them home to
The ones that they love whom 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 papers
Mr. Jones got run down
Headlines of death and sorrow, they tell of tomorrow
Madmen on the rampage
Down in the tube station at midnight, oh-oh-oh-oh, oh

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 say, "I've a little money and a takeaway curry
I'm on my way home to my wife
She'll be lining up the cutlery, I know she's expecting me
Polishing the gla**es and pulling out the cork"
Down in the tube station at midnight, oh-oh-oh-oh, oh
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
Filled my eyes, ears, nose and mouth, it blocked all my senses
Couldn't see, hear, speak any longer
Down in the tube station at midnight, oh-oh-oh-oh, oh
I was down in the tube station at midnight, oh-oh-oh-oh, hey

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
Down in the tube station at midnight, oh-oh-oh-oh, oh
I'm gonna go down in a tube station at midnight, oh-oh-oh-oh, oh
Ooh, I don't wanna go down in a tube station at midnight, oh-oh-oh-oh, hey
Night
