"Mind the gap", a train approaches
People pack into the coaches
The chances are slight (that)
I'll be home tonight
Travelling on the London Underground

Station's closed, Have to transfer
Anger grows, I'll take a detour
Been waiting too long
It's all going wrong
Travelling on the London Underground

In the rush hour they will close Victoria
No trains are running south from Finsbury Park
I ask if there's a bus and they'll say "no sir"
I've lost my map and now I'm in the dark

Late again, and I'm tired
But my train's been retired
My hopes start to fade (but)
I've already paid
Travelling on the London Underground

On the circle line there's been a bomb scare
The lights have failed again at Camden Town
I'm standing on the station but it's not fair!
The train I'm waiting for has broken down

Journey slows, it's not improving
Paid through the nose, but we're not moving
Another delay
I'm wasting away
Travelling on the London Underground
