Subway - Damian Wilson

Getting a job in a subway

I’ll be making it work someday

only been busking a week

i’ve been knocked right off my feet

i’ve got a railway woman wanting me

i’ve got a preacher teaching chast-ty

all sorts breathing over me

blind to the course of my destiny

playing my guitar while singing in your company —

talking to me

people like never before

have been shouting out for more

just like the painter trying to capture me

though the picture is quite clear it seems

i won’t need my clothes as she

stretches her canvas underneath

playing my guitar and singing in her company — calling

to me

trying to strike up conversation

following the line to another station

giving a smile as you’re p-ssing by me

loving all the while, living in your company

getting a job in a subway

i’ll be making it work someday

things i could never foresee

have been happening to me

like all the strange policemen questionings

about my active part in felonies

caution but just let me be

all of the time, well it’s clear to see

i’ve been playing my guitar and singing in your company

there’s no word or explanation

moving me along to a different station

all i seem to have is a pound upon me

adding it all up with loving in your company

they don’t understand they will understand just nothing

it’s a waste of time wanting

it’s a waste of time knowing

it’s a waste of time talking

i mustn’t try to change

i have my own time

what everybody needs

is a little peace of mind

people would never believe

what’s been dropping at my feet

all kinds of drugs like hash and ecstasy

drunken females jewellery

with the promises they’ll do to me

all of these things i may never have seen

but for playing my guitar and singing in your company

getting a job in a subway
