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 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

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 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
And I'm down in the tube station at midnight
I said I was down 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
Don't want to go down in a 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
