Lyrics - London Underground

London Underground
(written by Walter Egan, from 2010's Queens' English)

London underground
Up above the rain keeps pouring down
Creatures of the tube
Mind the gap and guard your solitude
Chelsea in the rain
Lost and looking in a world of pain
Rain slick avenue
My reflection looking for you
Isn’t it just what we’d all like to do
Have our cake and eat it too
Get away and not be caught
For the wrong that we have wrought
Is it just where we’d all like to be?
Where we’d all live so happily
In the city of our dreams
London town eternally

London underground
Up above the rain keeps pouring down
Last train leaving soon
Weary eyed take refuge from the gloom

Glad for Paddington
Happy for my wandering to be done
So to bed at last
Dreams of Deke and Darrow out of the past

Is it just where we’d all like to be?
Where we’d all live so happily
In the city of our dreams
London town eternally

London underground
Up above the rain keeps pouring
Is it just where we’d all like to be?
Where we’d all live so happily
In the city of our dreams
London town eternally
