People crammed in 4, 3, 2, 1 zones
Beats are pumping through iPod headphones
Check that hot guy in the suit, give him a look
He thinks you’re mental, so he reads his book

Trains are running in the wrong direction
Got a feelin’ it’s a mixed up sign
I can see it on page 6 of Metro
Over the shoulder of the sexy guy
So crushed the crowd is pushing me higher
My arse is being felt from down below
Pickpockets have pinched my new phone
It’s a sound I know

We’re down with the underground
We’re so getting hip to the deep shaft sound
To Cockfosters let’s go
Piccadilly Palare to Arsenal
Out on the District line
Be the victim of a petty crime
Circle line round and round
It’s the sound of the London Underground


Last tube southbound on a Friday night
People screaming, singing, starting fights
Pissed up wankers board at Leicester Square
Wave your knickers like you just don’t care

Party girls singing One Direction
Got a feelin’ they’re on mixed up wine
Lost tourist asks for directions
Gonna show him a real good time tonight
Let’s take a ride quench our desires
Just check the balance on my Oyster Card
Fifty Shades of Gray on Kindle Fire
It’s a sound I heard

We’re down on the underground
Let’s groove with the rats to the deep shaft sound
To Upminster let’s go
With a long delay quite near Plaistow
Out on the line Northern
Fall asleep you’ll wake up in Morden
Circle line round and round
It’s the sound of the London Underground

Monday morning weekend lusts forgotten
Commuters fighting for the one last seat
So crushed the crowd is pushing me higher
My arse is being felt from down below
Pickpockets have pinched my smartphone
It’s a sound I, it a sound I know

We’re down with the underground
We’re so getting hip to the deep shaft sound
To Cockfosters let’s go
Piccadilly Palare to Arsenal
Out on the District line
Be the victim of a petty crime
Circle line round and round
It’s the sound of the London Underground
