Down In The Tube Station At Midnight (Full Version) - The Jam (果酱乐队)

The distant echo of far away voices

Boarding far away 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 papers

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

But I say I've a little money and a take away curry

I'm on the way home to my wife

She'll be lining up the cutlery

And now 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 it's 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

I'm down in the tube station at midnight

I said I was down in the tube station at midnight 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

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
