Carter The Unstoppable Sex Machine - Down In The Tube Station At Midnight lyrics

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 wrapers and
This mornings paper mr jones got run down
Headlines of death and sorrow -
They tell of tomorrow madmen on the rampage
And Im 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?
And I said - Ive a little
Money and a take away curry
Im on my way home to my wife
Shell be lining up the cutlery
You know shes expecting me
Polishing the glasses and pulling
Out the cork
And Im 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 Im 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 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 it's me
And Im down in the tube station at midnight
The wine will be flat and
The currys gone cold
Im down in the tube station at midnight
Don't want to go down in
A tube station at midnight
