Lyrics
The hated journey on the train
The journey on the train is despised.
Always been the same
This experience has consistently remained unchanged.
Looking out windows
Observing the surroundings through windows.
Second class and second best
Being in second class and feeling inferior.
What a waste of time
Expressing frustration at the perceived time wasted.
Sleep for five stops in a row
Sleeping continuously for five train stops.
Prepare yourself to go
Preparing oneself for departure after the sleep.
Waterloo station
Referring to Waterloo station as a point of significance.
Bought a '69 Capri, failed the M.O.T.
Purchasing a 1969 Capri car but failing the Ministry of Transport test (M.O.T.).
What a waste of time
Expressing disappointment at the car-related setback.
The worker, the worker
Repetition emphasizing the identity of "the worker."
The worker, the worker
Continued emphasis on the identity of "the worker."
Always kiss the wife goodbye
Highlighting the routine of bidding farewell to the wife.
Often wonder why
Expressing curiosity or questioning the routine.
At seven in the morning
Noting the early morning time when these routines occur.
Think it's time for a change
Contemplating the need for change.
Wouldn't that be strange?
Suggesting that a change would be unusual or unexpected.
What a waste of time
Reiterating frustration at perceived time wasted in routine.
The worker, the worker
Repetition emphasizing the identity of "the worker."
The worker, the worker
Continued emphasis on the identity of "the worker."
