Strum
D-DU-UDU
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 mornings 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. Oooooooooooh
I fumble for change
And pull out the queen, smiling, beguiling
I put in the money
And pull out a plumb 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 out the cork?.
And I?m down in the tube station at midnight. Oooooooooooh
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 swan around 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 my senses
Couldn?t see, hear, speak any longer.
And I?m down in the tube station at midnight. Oooooooooooh
I said I was down in the tube station at midnight. Oooooooooooh
The last thing 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 awayday 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 its me
And I?m down in the tube station at midnight. Oooooooooooh
The wine will be flat and the curry?s gone cold
I?m down in the tube station at midnight. Oooooooooooh
Don?t wanna go
And I?m down in the tube station at midnight. Oooooooooooh
This is a great song from a great band, I cant believe that there
isn?t that many Jam songs on here.
It?s my goal to let everyone know how great they are.
Theres more where this came from.
