The man at the back
of the queue was sent
to feel the smack
of firm government
Lingered 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
