Your ticket for the Northern Line is good for life It'll never run out before I die Come home darling, come home It costs nothing but it blows my mind when you arrive Open arms and full of life It's a long story Cut a long story short I'm only short of you It's a long story Cut a long story short Get yourself home on the Northern Line So keep steady on the Northern Line All you ever wanted is here at home with me And I can't wait till i see your face again It's been so long since I put my aarms around you baby I can't wait Turn up on me any time tell me you're home and I'll lay me down I won't fuss for a minute, I'm ready I'm ready all the dear damn time For when you catch yourself on the Northern Line...

I watched the demolition of a multi-storey building From the comfort of my livingroom window They had two orage machines that kicked and tore the walls down The machines were like dinosaurs tearing away At the varying coloured walls of peoples bedrooms And now decades od memories lie in a heap on the floor So what will become of the ghosts of the multi are they heaped up in bedsits or camped out in doorways I'm of the opinion you can still hear them singing in unison. listen, listen I walked into the office where the old folks were awful for offering unwanted tidbits About the lifew of a worker but I won't hold it over their heads Cause they've been there for years and they're confident laughing and ne'er do they fear that their jobs wouldn't last and now decades of memories lie in a heap on the floor So what will become of the ghosts of the office did they migrate away will they walk here among us I'm of the opinion you can still hear them singing in unison listen ... So what will become of the ghost of a singer, a vagrant, a sinner an unwanted simian, falsetto poet, boy from nowhere what will become of him?

Until the fruit of an apple tree grows on a pear tree I'll be your company, I will be your ally Until the sun is a rock shrivelled up in the ocean deep I'll be your company, I will be you rally Until the hills and the mountains bow down before me I'll be your company, I will be your ally (I'm not sure if that;s the correct order...you get it though)

I'm a tramp, a drunk and a rover I'm a hopeless ne'er-do-well And I'll meet a friend in every inn And I'll meet the rest in hell Ho va ree va ro I mean to let you know that I've packed a bag with all that I have and in the morning I will go I've tried the life of a worker Yeah I've jumped from job to job And I've done my time to 5 from 9 And a friend of that I'm not I've got friends and family all over Sure there's some I've barely met And it pains me now as it pained me then Still there's little I regret
