Stood in the line at a time when they should let me sit
Young people don't care a bit that I'm aged and careworn
It's dawn or thereabouts and the roundabouts are turning
the wheels are spinning
and the underground system is thinking of twinning with a sardine factory in Sarawak,
that may or may not be true but I do know it would not be my first choice to come and go on this antiquated service.
If there's a god and he gave us wings
why can't I fly ?
I think i'll be down here until the day that I die and then I'll be down here some more.
I refuse to mind the closing doors,
or
watch my P's and Q's
I absolutely refuse and then I do what they tell me
because I am a product of my environment
put upon by this government
stood here as a monument
to all that has gone before
mind the doors?
**** orf.
