[00:00:00] Down In The Tube Station At Midnight (Live) - The Gift

[00:00:17] The distant echo

[00:00:20] Of faraway voices boarding faraway trains

[00:00:26] To take them home to

[00:00:29] The ones that they love and who love them forever

[00:00:35] The glazed dirty steps repeat my own and reflect my thoughts

[00:00:44] Cold and uninviting partially naked

[00:00:49] Except for toffee wrappers and this morning's paper

[00:00:52] Mr jones got run down

[00:00:55] Headlines of death and sorrow they tell of tomorrow

[00:00:58] Madmen on the rampage

[00:01:01] And i'm down in the tube station at midnight

[00:01:14] I fumble for change and pull out the queen

[00:01:19] Smiling beguiling

[00:01:23] I put in the money and pull out a plum

[00:01:28] Behind me

[00:01:32] Whispers in the shadows gruff blazing voices

[00:01:37] Hating waiting

[00:01:41] Hey boy they shout have you got any money

[00:01:45] And i said i've a little money and a take away curry

[00:01:49] I'm on my way home to my wife

[00:01:51] She'll be lining up the cutlery

[00:01:53] You know she's expecting me

[00:01:54] Polishing the glasses and pulling out the cork

[00:01:57] And i'm down in the tube station at midnight

[00:02:10] I first felt a fist and then a kick

[00:02:15] I could now smell their breath

[00:02:19] They smelt of pubs and wormwood scrubs

[00:02:23] And too many right wing meetings

[00:02:28] My life swam around me

[00:02:31] It took a look and drowned me in its own existence

[00:02:37] The smell of brown leather

[00:02:40] It blended in with the weather

[00:02:42] It filled my eyes ears nose and mouth

[00:02:43] It blocked all my senses

[00:02:45] Couldn't see hear speak any longer

[00:02:48] And i'm down in the tube station at midnight

[00:02:53] I'm down now in the tube station at midnight

[00:03:30] The last thing that i saw

[00:03:32] As i lay there on the floor

[00:03:33] Was jesus saves painted by an atheist nutter

[00:03:36] And a british rail poster read have an away day

[00:03:39] A cheap holiday

[00:03:41] Do it today

[00:03:42] I glanced back on my life

[00:03:43] And thought about my wife

[00:03:45] Cause they took the keys and she'll think it's me

[00:03:47] I'm down in the tube station at midnight

[00:03:50] The wine will be flat and the curry's gone cold

[00:03:53] I'm down in the tube station at midnight

[00:03:58] Don't want to go down in a tube station at midnight

[00:04:04] Don't want to go down in a tube station at midnight
