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
