Central Line        (C) 1995 Music by Persuasion Lyrics by N.Thomas        I've got to stand right here and watch my world falling down        I've got to stand right here and face into the pouring rain        I've got to stand right here and watch the clouds spoil my view        I've got to wake up to the facts before my eyes        Six days how I've been sober - six days and it's all over        Six days were all it took to poison passions clover        Six days of losing ground and God, how slow the thread unwound        It's going to take a while to bring myself around        My life spans out on the Central Line        Strangers faces are staring at mine        At every station I'm checking every sign        This stage of the journey takes the longest time        She's got me sown up - she's always on my mind        Addictive therapy? or a habit doing mainline?        She never speaks to me but lays kisses on my eyes        When I'm next to her I can never read her mind        Hanger Lane, Perivale        This is where my heart beats faster, this is where my heart beats faster        I count the stations and I'm checking with the time        This cruel distance is a burning heartless crime                               [play MP3]
