Jericho Junction Songtext
von Clive Gregson

I′m taking a train down to Jericho Junction
I'm breaking a link in a chain of command
I′m riding the rails down to Jericho Junction
I can't get a seat but I know where I stand

I'm looking for something that doesn′t exist
I don′t ask for much but I'm keeping a list
The shirt on my back and a watch on my wrist
Some change and a cigarette lighter

Waiting in line down at Jericho Junction
I surrender my ticket to a man with no teeth
I′m reading the signs down at Jericho Junction
They say nothing on top and nowhere underneath

I bought a return but I'm not going back
The past is a blur and my future is black
My feet in the clouds and my head in a sack
Some change and a cigarette lighter


Oh, I was hoping to make a new start
And I quite understand if it′s too much trouble
I'm sorry I wasted my time
Chasing my tail down at Jericho Junction

Running a debt that are long overdue
Words never fail down at Jericho Junction
What′s easy to say isn't easy to do
I didn't want much but I settled for less
How I got where I am is anyone′s guess
I′d trade all of this for a different address

Some change and a cigarette lighter

I was looking for wonders that never cease
For the rest of the jigsaw to fit round my piece
But I got a cage with no hope of release
Some change and a cigarette lighter

Lighter
I'm taking a train down to Jericho Junction
