"King's Cross"

The man at the back of the queue was sent

To feel the smack of firm government

Linger by the flyposter, for a fight

It's the same story every night

I've been hurt and we've been had

You leave home, and you don't go back

Someone told me Monday, someone told me Saturday

Wait until tomorrow and there's still no way

Read it in a book or write it in a letter

Wake up in the morning and there's still no guarantee

Only last night I found myself lost

By the station called King's Cross

Dead and wounded on either side

You know it's only a matter of time

I've been good and I've been bad

I've been guilty of hanging around

Someone told me Monday, someone told me Saturday

Wait until tomorrow and there's still no way

Read it in a book or write it in a letter

Wake up in the morning and there's still no guarantee

So I went looking out today

For the one who got away

Murder walking round the block

Ending up in King's Cross

Good luck, bad luck waiting in a line

It takes more than the matter of time

Someone told me Monday, someone told me Saturday

Wait until tomorrow and there's still no way

Read it in a book or write it in a letter

Wake up in the morning and there's still no guarantee

Someone told me Monday, someone told me Saturday

Wait until tomorrow and there's still no way

Read it in a book or write it in a letter

Wake up in the morning and there's still no guarantee

And there's still no guarantee

There is still no guarantee

Great song. Probably my favourite song from the group. Haunting melody, great lyrics, a man on fire and a woman in a bra at the start. Weird to think this was produced before the Kings Cross disaster. 80s were a special time for music.

King´s Cross não é uma canção comum. Ela é diferente de tudo que já vi no mundo da música. Os acordes, timbres, que, para a década de 1980 foi um grande avanço. Canção premonitória? Com certeza, mas mesmo antes de saber tudo o que envolve a música, ela já era, e ainda é até hoje o meu hino pessoal. Quando ela toca, eu paro tudo! Este é um momento de parada para refletir o que aconteceu, e como será o nosso futuro! King´s Cross is not a common song. Is different from anything we have ever seen in the world of music. Chords, timbres, that for the Decade of 1980 was a major breakthrough. Premonitory song? For sure, but even before knowing anything that involves the song, already was, and still is to this day my personal anthem. When the song plays, I stop all!! This is a moment of stop to reflect what happened, and how will our future!

Pretty sure, it's the Word Qeue, in the Very First Sentence of Lyrics...Quene, is a different way of spelling Queen and it can also mean a Derogatory term for a Flamboyantly effeminate Homo sexual male...I mean the Lyrics, to feel a smack of firm government, would fit w/ a Quene, cuz Quene and Government go hand in hand...But, I'm pretty sure, it's Qeue, which one meaning is, a Line that people stand in !!

It still freaks me out that this song was written and sang before the infamous fire at the underground station - almost too much of a coincidence - only it really was!! Great song all the same....even if it refers to long term unemployment.....
