作词 : Hackett, King | |
Dear friend you've come at last | |
I wish to impart to you something of a deeply personal nature | |
Dare we venture off the map | |
And indeed between the cracks | |
To a private road of sorts | |
I presume you have a strong will | |
And the stomach to match the underbelly of our fair city | |
You'll need this firm crowbar | |
Whilst I implore you to utilise no sense of smell | |
And to think people live down there | |
A rush of chill air heralds our clattering necropolis railway | |
Like a Transylvanian express plunging into rivers of fungi algae and eels | |
Ten million rats, one for each one of us | |
And to think people live down there | |
A race of wild hogs inhabit the sewers of Hampstead | |
A cesspool suburb superb supreme | |
Catacombs of Kensal Green | |
I know you'd like to slime away | |
Like those walled up under Whitechapel | |
But I've my own kind of Jubilee line out of sight and out of mind | |
And to think you'll have to live down there | |
Strangled streams, smothered rivers, London always gives me the shivers | |
Forty abandoned stations and Churchill's last bolthole | |
Impregnable as Hitler's bunker | |
Can't you see them dancing on the platform at Down Street |
