This track was inspired by observing some buskers on the London underground although it has several different intended meanings
lyrics
Here I stand
Suitcase and guitar in hand
These Tunnels in my stride
PC don
He tells me that I must move on
And take a walk outside
CHORUS
But here am I
On the Underground
And that wont change
No that wont change
Without the light
I have clearer insight
Into the world
The world we live in
Half past three
The tunnels have their symphony
And I am not alone
Passers by
give me just enough to buy
a coffee and a scone
CHORUS
But here am I
On the Underground
And that wont change
No that wont change
Without the light
I have clearer insight
Into the world
The world we live in
CHORUS
But here am I
On the Underground
And that wont change
No that wont change
Without the light
I have clearer insight
Into the world
The world we live in
No suns glare
People do not pry and stare
and I can live my life
(But I) have my fans
Who don't ignore my one man band
and help me through my strife
CHORUS
But here am I
On the Underground
And that wont change
No that wont change
Without the light
I have clearer insight
Into the world
The world we live in
