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 swan around me in its own existence
The smell of brown leather, it blended in with the weather,
It filled my eyes, ears, nose and mouth,
It blocked my senses
Couldn?t see, hear, speak any longer.
And I?m down in the tube station at midnight. Oooooooooooh
I said I was down in the tube station at midnight. Oooooooooooh

The last thing 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 its me
And I?m down in the tube station at midnight. Oooooooooooh
The wine will be flat and the curry?s gone cold

I?m down in the tube station at midnight. Oooooooooooh
Don?t wanna go
And I?m down in the tube station at midnight. Oooooooooooh

This is a great song from a great band, I cant believe that there
isn?t that many Jam songs on here.
It?s my goal to let everyone know how great they are.
Theres more where this came from.
