Kings Cross Blues - Lindisfarne

Early train starts on time

Everybody else is feeling fine

Reading the papers and studying the form

And the people just taking this as norm

Except me

I don’t seem to function till at least a quarter to three

Stare at the floor

I don’t want to take this Kings Cross train no more

I’m drinking whiskey at the bar

Can’t afford the dining car

Ruddy faced soldiers drink and curse

Buy themselves out if it gets worse

Grates on me

‘Cause I don’t even share the same philosophy

Leaving the bar

Well, I wish that Kings Cross station didn’t have to be so far

Kings Cross blues

Kings Cross blues

Kings Cross blues

Kings Cross blues

Well, taking this journey to the South

To find work to feed the extra mouth

I’ll find it hard to have to say

‘Cause they don’t talk the same way

Grates on me

Well, I don’t even share the same philosophy

Leaving the bar

Oh, wish that Kings Cross station didn’t have to be so far

Kings Cross blues

Kings Cross blues

Kings Cross blues

Kings Cross blues
