bababa BA Until the end of time on the Central Line tonight Until the end of the line on the Northern Line tonight I don't know what's happening tonight I don't know if I'm coming or going tonight I haven't got regrets and no I haven't got the time I've work in seven hours and I haven't got a pint I haven't got a type and I've got no plans tomorrow night I wouldn't bother with regret, these things happen all the time I was biting my nails on the Central Line tonight Felt like everything was hopeless on the Central Line tonight Felt like you'd been there without me on the Central Line tonight And there's nothing else but hope on the Central Line tonight I don't remember what I was like at school I was loud I remember but I don't think I was cool I was funny I know I acted the fool But all in all, was it worth it all at all? Looks like I'm now here without you on the Central Line tonight And I've gone and got a haircut just so I can smile tonight Felt like everyone was staring on the Central Line tonight And biting their nails on the Central Line tonight And I'm changing here at Bank on the Central Line tonight The mice are only human on the Central Line tonight The future's not far off, no, not tonight I thought I saw your dad on the Central Line tonight Nothing's changed, we still love talking Nothing's changed, we still love walking I was reading the signs and one of them said Dorking And I feel so far from the Central Line tonight I've been trying to be without you in Potters Bar tonight I can't forget about you every other night I've been staying with a mate these past few nights I've been trying not to doubt myself when I get in bed at night We aren't very careful with where we sleep We aren't very careful with getting early nights We're only very careful with falling in love And it just so happens that we never get it right And I've gone and spent a tenner on a jumper that's too tight I've gone and spent a tenner on reliving a past life I don't suppose I'd think about it any other night And I don't suppose I'd think about it in another life And I'm putting on Stromae in a cul-de-sac tonight I wanna wear my shorts but it's colder than I'd like We're waking up shivering but we'll be alright I'm just bored of holding onto the same old pillow tonight But deep down, we're all in the same carriage tonight We need a bit of courage on the Central Line tonight We cross our legs and then we uncross them We close our eyes and then we open them tonight So I'm making amends on the Central Line tonight I'm passing through your ends on the Central Line tonight I'm still looking for love on the Central Line tonight One of these days we're gonna talk about tonight I just think it's funny how I spend more time in the living room now I just wanna be another face in the crowd But I don't just wanna be another face in the crowd Felt like everyone was biting their nails on the Central Line tonight

Woke up to somebody's bay window, I could do with some fresh air and a glass of water I leave early-ish, latest two Walk down to the station, finish off my drink You always said I never when to stop But I do, I do, I do, I do, I do I just don't I walk down by the motorway again down past the lavender Like you're here and you're listening standing by the pylons I'm at Amber's once again drinking drinks I never used to And now I'm home and I'm bored watching Berbatov compilations And after all we've been through, I can't believe you've never even seen Burnt Oak (It's like you've never seen the moon) And Laura used to say I'm always on a bus Hayley says the same about the train just like she used to And if I had my way I'd only walk everywhere Now I've got my cinnamon tea watching Sunderland play Leeds And everyone I know wants to go off to Australia And I've been thinking about the Orkneys oh every night this week We walk around the car park looking for an exit And I can't wait to be loved by somebody like you You always said I should know when to stop But I do, I do, I do, I do, I do I just don't I walk down by the motorway again down past the lavender Like you're here and listening standing by the pylons I'm at Amber's once again drinking drinks I never used to And now I'm home and I'm bored watching Berbatov compilations And after all we've been through, I can't believe you've never even seen Burnt Oak And noone cares that I'm practicing asceticism So nobody notices that I fail all the time And now nothing that should be basic is basic, no, nothing at all It's always so anticlimactic then one day out of nowhere You feel something again Coco Pops and peaches, sex on the beaches and the World Cup and Brisbane Road and jackets and finally it's, finally it's you, finally it's you, finally it's
