Down In The Tube Station At Midnight (Live) - The Gift[00:00:00]
The distant echo[00:00:17]
Of faraway voices boarding faraway trains[00:00:20]
To take them home to[00:00:26]
The ones that they love and who love them forever[00:00:29]
The glazed dirty steps repeat my own and reflect my thoughts[00:00:35]
Cold and uninviting partially naked[00:00:44]
Except for toffee wrappers and this morning's paper[00:00:49]
Mr jones got run down[00:00:52]
Headlines of death and sorrow they tell of tomorrow[00:00:55]
Madmen on the rampage[00:00:58]
And i'm down in the tube station at midnight[00:01:01]
I fumble for change and pull out the queen[00:01:14]
Smiling beguiling[00:01:19]
I put in the money and pull out a plum[00:01:23]
Behind me[00:01:28]
Whispers in the shadows gruff blazing voices[00:01:32]
Hating waiting[00:01:37]
Hey boy they shout have you got any money[00:01:41]
And i said i've a little money and a take away curry[00:01:45]
I'm on my way home to my wife[00:01:49]
She'll be lining up the cutlery[00:01:51]
You know she's expecting me[00:01:53]
Polishing the glasses and pulling out the cork[00:01:54]
And i'm down in the tube station at midnight[00:01:57]
I first felt a fist and then a kick[00:02:10]
I could now smell their breath[00:02:15]
They smelt of pubs and wormwood scrubs[00:02:19]
And too many right wing meetings[00:02:23]
My life swam around me[00:02:28]
It took a look and drowned me in its own existence[00:02:31]
The smell of brown leather[00:02:37]
It blended in with the weather[00:02:40]
It filled my eyes ears nose and mouth[00:02:42]
It blocked all my senses[00:02:43]
Couldn't see hear speak any longer[00:02:45]
And i'm down in the tube station at midnight[00:02:48]
I'm down now in the tube station at midnight[00:02:53]
The last thing that i saw[00:03:30]
As i lay there on the floor[00:03:32]
Was jesus saves painted by an atheist nutter[00:03:33]
And a british rail poster read have an away day[00:03:36]
A cheap holiday[00:03:39]
Do it today[00:03:41]
I glanced back on my life[00:03:42]
And thought about my wife[00:03:43]
Cause they took the keys and she'll think it's me[00:03:45]
I'm down in the tube station at midnight[00:03:47]
The wine will be flat and the curry's gone cold[00:03:50]
I'm down in the tube station at midnight[00:03:53]
Don't want to go down in a tube station at midnight[00:03:58]
Don't want to go down in a tube station at midnight[00:04:04]
