(Don’t wanna go) down in the tube station (at midnight)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"
Smiling, beguiling<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The distant echo –
Of faraway voices boarding faraway trains
To take them home to
The ones that they love and who love them forever
The glazed, dirty steps – repeat my own and reflect my thoughts
Cold and uninviting, partially naked
Except for toffee wrapers and this morning’s papers
Mr. Jones got run down<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Headlines of death and sorrow – they tell of tomorrow

Madmen on the rampage<\/em>
And I’m down in the tube station at midnight<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I fumble for change – and pull out the Queen<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Smiling, beguiling<\/p>\n\n\n\n
