Down In The Tube Station At Midnight Lyrics - All Mod Cons - Jam

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

NEW SONG: Blink-182 - 'Happy Days' Lyrics 

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 its 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
