The man at the back of the queue was sent
To feel the smack of firm government
Linger 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
