Black Line Blues

[eldar]

I stood on the platform
It was twenty to six
The board said nothing but Edgware
The platform was packed

I got the black, black, black
I got the black, black, black
I got the Black Line Blues
I just wanna get home

In came the first train
I couldn't get on
So I got on the next one
This train was so rammed

I got the black, black, black
I got the black, black, black
I got the Black Line Blues
I just wanna get home

I got off at Camden
The station was jammed
5 minutes 'til the next train
At Camden I still stood

I got the black, black, black
I got the black, black, black
I got the Black Line Blues
I just wanna get home

Next train to Mill Hill
I gave up and got on
It stopped at East Finchley
To Mill Hill no-one went

I got the black, black, black
I got the black, black, black
I got the Black Line Blues
I just wanna get home

Mill Hill, then High Barnet
At last a good train
I sat down in relief
To High Barnet I rode

I got the black, black, black
I got the black, black, black
I got the Black Line Blues
I just wanna get home

At last Woodside Park
Just a short walk to my door
I get a TV licence reminder
But Woodside Park is my home

I got the black, black, black
I got the black, black, black
I got the Black Line Blues
Thank Ken I am home
