Last train headache arrives again, hung out to dry the stars cave in
A station rush sure beats the bus crushed up against the working men
Night life must end with loud regrets, St Paul he never meant we he said
Bad mouthing off inspector cops, insults they took as a serious threat
Platform scene police seal his fate
The last train home is running late
Some Swedish fare is worse for wear, weak drunk on English medicine
Squinting his eyes at the carriage lights, easing his mind on Sarah’s legs
Full throated sighs at train track grinds, try as he might his time has come
Yanks the stop line, train doors pull wide and throws up beside the platform run
Inspector slaps on the spot fine
The last train home is blocking the line
Well read young heirs, swim shallow depths, backbiting friends they left for home
Such spoon-fed sense, self righteous men voice words so dense my blood goes cold
The night’s best dressed usual suspect is curled up wrecked and left to rot
Oh what a mess, the drink has set and now she sleeps straight through her stop
Three wheel dealers trade tips on stock
The last train home is rambling on…
Stale air carries its own heartbeat, unsavoury taste it chafes my lips,
Drunk skunks asleep across three seats, dry beer slips from his fingertips
High heeled regrets from Dartford’s pets, clicking their heels and cursing their steps
Burger King stench makes hard-necks wretch as sauce spills down the toe-rags legs
City lights die through the window
The last train home is taking its toll
Take me home, take me home, take me home, take me home
Take me home, take me home, take me home, take me home
