Rushing down platform 8 |
|
all my efforts are in vain |
|
disappearing in the dark |
|
are the tail lights of the train |
|
one minute too late |
|
it was the cab drivers fault |
|
now I've got to wait |
|
next to a pissed yob |
|
"got any change?" |
|
he's getting brash |
|
I search my pockets for some cash |
|
while he is still talking trash |
|
Stand back on platform 8 |
|
Next service will be late |
|
Please mind the doors |
|
Please mind the gap |
|
Passengers moving from B to A |
|
going home or coming to town |
|
who knows their journey route |
|
different trains going on different rails |
|
wheels are finding their way |
|
Spinning round without rest |
|
heading from East to West |
|
bands of sleepers go by |
|
Trains are reaching all places |
|
all directions all faces |
|
bands of sleepers go by |
|
Train delay, another service cancelled |
|
six past nine, I won't arrive in time |
|
I step inside the waiting room |
|
it smells of sweat and pee and poo |
|
I hope I'll find a place to rest |
|
I cast a desperate view |
|
my legs a tired |
|
I would like to get a seat |
|
but noone seems to move his ass |
|
so I remain on my feet |
|
Train wheels finding their way |
|
spinning round without rest |
|
heading from East to West |
|
bands of sleepers go by |
|
Trains are reaching all places |
|
all directions all faces |
|
bands of sleepers go by |
