Songtexte Down In the Tube Station At Midnight (Single Version) - The 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
(oh-oh-oh-oh-oh)
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
I′m
down
in
the
tube
station
at
midnight
(oh-oh-oh-oh-oh)
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
(oh-oh-oh-oh-oh)
I
said,
"I
was
down
in
the
tube
station
at
midnight"
(oh-oh-oh-oh-oh)
(Oi!)
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
(oh-oh-oh-oh-oh)
Don't
want
to
go
down
in
a
tube
station
at
midnight
(oh-oh-oh-oh-oh)
Don′t
want
to
go
down
in
a
tube
station
at
midnight
(oh-oh-oh-oh-oh)
Oi!
