Down In The Tube Station At Midnight - The Jam[00:00:01]
The distant echo -[00:00:27]
Of faraway voices boarding faraway trains[00:00:29]
To take them home to[00:00:34]
The ones that they love and who love them forever[00:00:37]
The glazed dirty steps - repeat my own and reflect my thoughts[00:00:43]
Cold and uninviting partially naked[00:00:52]
Except for toffee wrapers and this morning's paper[00:00:56]
Mr Jones got run down[00:01:00]
Headlines of death and sorrow - they tell of tomorrow[00:01:03]
Madmen on the rampage[00:01:05]
And I'm down in the tube station at midnight[00:01:08]
I fumble for change - and pull out the Queen[00:01:20]
Smiling beguiling[00:01:25]
I put in the money and pull out a plum[00:01:28]
Behind me[00:01:33]
Whispers in the shadows - gruff blazing voices[00:01:37]
Hating waiting[00:01:42]
"Hey boy" they shout - "have you got any money "[00:01:46]
And I said - "I've a little money and a take away curry [00:01:49]
I'm on my way home to my wife [00:01:53]
She'll be lining up the cutlery [00:01:56]
You know she's expecting me[00:01:58]
Polishing the glasses and pulling out the cork"[00:01:59]
And I'm down in the tube station at midnight[00:02:02]
I first felt a fist and then a kick[00:02:14]
I could now smell their breath[00:02:18]
They smelt of pubs and Wormwood Scrubs[00:02:22]
And too many right wing meetings[00:02:27]
My life swam around me[00:02:30]
It took a look and drowned me in its own existence[00:02:33]
The smell of brown leather[00:02:39]
It blended in with the weather[00:02:41]
It filled my eyes ears nose and mouth[00:02:44]
It blocked all my senses[00:02:46]
Couldn't see hear speak any longer[00:02:47]
And I'm down in the tube station at midnight[00:02:50]
I said I was down in the tube station at midnight[00:02:55]
The last thing that I saw[00:03:05]
As I lay there on the floor[00:03:07]
Was "Jesus Saves" painted by an atheist nutter[00:03:09]
And a British Rail poster read "Have an Awayday - a cheap holiday -[00:03:11]
Do it today "[00:03:16]
I glanced back on my life[00:03:17]
And thought about my wife[00:03:18]
'Cause they took the keys - and she'll think it's me[00:03:19]
And I'm down in the tube station at midnight[00:03:22]
The wine will be flat and the curry's gone cold[00:03:25]
I'm down in the tube station at midnight[00:03:28]
Don't want to go down in a tube station at midnight[00:03:32]
Don't want to go down in a tube station at midnight[00:03:38]
