Kings Cross Blues

Early train starts on time
Everybody else is feeling fine
Reading the papers and studying the form
And the people just taking this as norm

Except me
I don't seem to function 'til at least a quarter to three
Stare at the floor
I don't want to take this King's Cross train no more

Well, I'm drinking whisky at the bar
Can't afford the dining car
Ruddy-faced soldiers drink and curse
Find themselves out if it gets much worse

Grates on me
'Cause I don't even share the same philosophy
Leaving the bar
Well, I wish that King's Cross station didn't have to be so far

King's Cross blues
King's Cross blues

King's Cross blues
King's Cross blues

Well, I'm taking this journey to the south
To find work to feed the extra mouth
I find it hard, I have to say
'Cause they don't talk the same way

Grates on me
Well, I don't even share the same philosophy
Leaving the bar
Whoa, I wish that King's Cross station didn't have to be so far

King's Cross blues
King's Cross blues
King's Cross blues
King's Cross blues
