I fish out my Oyster card then step on moving stairs...
As I sink beneath the streets I'm overwhelmed with cares.
A train howls in the station, a scream of clattering sound.
It's no surprise I'm feeling low-- I am travelling under ground.

Right in front of me I see a shapely tartan thigh...
No chance of conversation. Couldn't even catch her eye.

Down here we're all festering in artificial light.
Every afternoon's the same when I'm homeward bound:
It's no surprise I'm feeling low-- I am travelling under ground.
