They set off on their way into the city from far away

stations packed half past seven out the front they preach of heaven

down the stairs run the brethren at the Brixton Underground

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

and the beggars were always wanting change from me
