Joan Armatrading - Something's Gotta Blow lyrics

Smell of a man Smell of musk The noise of the train From morning till dusk The up escalator broken down The clothes on my back Look like they were taken out of the laundry basket To weary to wash To weary to wash Now there's hordes of people Pushing and shoving Sizzling noises coming out of their ears Hold on to the strap Or hold on to a stranger Hope that stranger's day has not been too hard Aggression builds up When the going is slow And you're packed like sardines Something's gotta blow Something's gotta blow When you work so hard And the sweat pours down on you Something's gotta blow When your pay don't match The work you slave And the pain you get Something's gotta blow Please stand on the right So I can pa** on the left Cos Something's gotta blow Something's gotta blow Something's gotta blow Dodging the fare Ain't worth the crime Think of your loved ones Whilst you're doing your time Being met at the station No better thrill Than that 4x4 cruiser Coming over the hill Bringing love and relief From the noise and the heat From the suicide jumpers From that head nodding sleep From the smell of burgers And the rustling of sweets Someone lend me your phone So I can say which train to meet Let me say which train to meet Something's gotta blow When you work so hard And the sweat pours down on you Something's gotta blow When your pay don't match The work you slave And the pain you get Something's gotta blow Please stand on the right So I can pa** on the left Cos something's gotta blow Something's gotta blow
