《Down Street》歌词

[00:00:00] Down Street - Steve Hackett

[00:00:08] Dear friend you've come at last

[00:00:10] I wish to impart to you something of a deeply personal nature

[00:00:15] Dare we venture off the map

[00:00:20] And indeed between the cracks

[00:00:24] To a private road of sorts

[00:00:29] I presume you have a strong will

[00:00:33] And the stomach to match the underbelly of our fair city

[00:00:42] You'll need this firm crowbar

[00:00:45] Whilst I implore you to utilise no sense of smell

[00:00:54] And to think people live down there

[00:00:58] A rush of chill air heralds our clattering necropolis railway

[00:01:08] Like a Transylvanian express plunging into rivers of fungi algae and eels

[00:01:18] Ten million rats one for each one of us

[00:01:22] And to think people live down there

[00:01:26] A race of wild hogs inhabit the sewers of Hampstead

[00:01:34] A cesspool suburb superb supreme

[00:01:37] Catacombs of Kensal Green

[00:01:43] I know you'd like to slime away

[00:01:46] Like those walled up under Whitechapel

[00:01:50] But I've my own kind of Jubilee line out of sight and out of mind

[00:01:55] And to think you'll have to live down there

[00:02:08] Strangled streams smothered rivers London always gives me the shivers

[00:03:03] Forty abandoned stations and Churchill's last bolthole

[00:03:11] Impregnable as Hitler's bunker

[00:03:15] Can't you see them dancing on the platform at Down Street
