Peter Ward - Brixton Underground

Intro: verse 1 They set off on their way into the city from far away to start another working day, from the Brixton Underground stations packed half past seven out the front they preach of heaven down the stairs run the brethren at the Brixton Underground verse 2 They're screaming with their megaphones some clubbers haven’t yet made it home Incense seller says hello down at the Brixton Underground full price for a travel card ticket watchers are on their guard stony faces stare straight ahead down at the Brixton Underground I'm just glad I spent some time, down the end of the Victoria line it really was an interesting place to be markets stalls weaved around and the Ritzy fountain kept tumbling down and the beggars were always wanting change from me Instrumental verse 3 They're coming home something’s changed escalators been re arranged some people looking pretty disarranged down at the Brixton Underground Familiar faces atop the stairs give them your ticket no one cares help reduce someone else s fare down at the Brixton Underground A sea of faces it’s after four and out the front they preach some more reminding us of our sins but is it really sinking in I'm just glad I spent some time, down the end of the Victoria line it really was an interesting place to be markets stalls weaved around and the Ritzy fountain kept tumbling down and the beggars were always wanting change from me Instrumental verse 4 They make their way through the fray buses take them far away to end another working day from the Brixton Underground In their minds the day will come they wont make this journey for anyone but that days a long time away that’s life at the Brixton underground I'm just glad I spent some time, down the end of the Victoria line it really was an interesting place to be markets stalls weaved around and the Ritzy fountain kept tumbling down and the beggars were always wanting change from me and the beggars are always wanting change from me and the beggars always wanting change from me Outro
