Central Line Tonight

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

Somebody's Bay Window
04:26

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

Sounds like Lana Del Rey, angsty at a non-league half-time, or Joe Strummer trying to write a Valentine's Card.
