There Goes My Soul Lyrics

My sea was set for sail

And then the lightning struck me

Caught up in another tale

It seemed that luck had ducked me

I fumbled in my pocket

For a tenner that I swear I'd left there

Because I never have a wallet

I sort of knew I'd have to bunk the train fare

And then my situation

Rose to take another step

Up in Archway station

Without a ticket I slowly crept

Under the barriers

Praying the steward don't see me

Think I'll become a liar

Because I told the truth and look where it got me

There goes my soul

Down in the underground

On the Cally Road

Where Billy don't make no sound

To the eyes of the law

Who he knew before

Banging, banging, banging

On his basement door

There goes my soul

Sailing round the underground to here

And so my senses line me

Chased into another zone

No pretences find me

Other than the effort of the journey home

There goes my soul

Down in the underground

On the Cally Road

Where Billy don't make no sound

To the eyes of the law

Who he knew before

Banging, banging, banging

On his basement door

There goes my soul

Sailing round the underground to here

Sailing round the underground to here

Sailing round the underground to here
