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
