The Jam - Down In The Tube Station At Midnight Lyrics

Send "Down In The Tube Station At Midnight" ringtone to your cell

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
