to start another working day, from the Brixton Underground 
Em                     G              D                A 
stations packed  half past seven out the front they preach of heaven 
Em              G                D                 Em 
down the stairs run the brethren at the Brixton Underground

They're screaming with their megaphones some clubbers haven’t yet made it home

Incense seller says hello down at the Brixton Underground

full price for a travel card  ticket watchers are on their guard

stony faces stare straight ahead down at the Brixton Underground

I'm just glad I spent some time, down the end of the Victoria line

it really was an interesting place to be 
G                                      D 
markets stalls weaved around and the Ritzy fountain kept tumbling down 
          C         D                                Em 
and the beggars      were always wanting change from me

Em           G              D                       Em 
some people looking pretty disarranged  down at the Brixton Underground 
Em              G               D              A 
Familiar faces atop the stairs give them your ticket no one cares 
Em             G             D                          Em 
help reduce someone else s fare  down at the Brixton Underground 
Em                   G           D                 A 
A sea of faces it’s after four and out the front they preach some more 
Em               G            D                   Em 
reminding us of our sins but is it really sinking in

verse 4 
Em                   G                D                  A 
They make their way through the fray buses take them far away 
Em              G           D                      Em 
to end another working day from the Brixton Underground 
Em                        G                 D                           A 
In their minds the day will come they wont make this journey for anyone 
Em                    G                  D                                     Em 
but that days a long time away  that’s life at the Brixton underground
