The man at the back of the queue was sent   To feel the smack of firm government   Linger by the fly poster 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
