The District Line

from Basically Blue, vol. 1 by Longboat

lyrics

I ride the District Line
Feet up and drinking wine
I’m on it every day
While others look away
Next station, folks, what a thrill
Is Tower Hill

I travel for fun
I rise before the sun
Make ready for the trip
Have a cuppa and a nip
Last station, ma’am and sir
Is Upminster

In light or darkness
In the lovely London rain
In sun or thunder
Oh, it’s a brilliant train
Just a giant moving corridor
Stand clear of the closing doors, yeah

From Barking to Parson’s Green
Kew Gardens to Becontree
Whitechapel, South Kensington
Hornchurch or Wimbledon
If you want to get around
Go underground

In light or darkness
In the lovely London rain
In sun or thunder
Oh, it’s a brilliant train
Just a giant moving corridor
Stand clear of the closing doors, yeah

I’ll ride till the night-time gloom
Ride till the day of doom
I’ll ride till I’m just a shell
Ride till the gates of hell
These travels won’t be complete
Till I’m just bones on this seat
