The last train to Alperton,
Has just pulled out the station.
Another night on the tiles,
Another night walking in the dark for miles.
Who knows which way to go home or if we'll have one
when we get there?
In the end.
I'd ask for directions,
If I knew where the hell I was going.
You made it look so easy,
As your car cruised off to Finchley.
Who knows which way to go home or if we'll have one
when we get there?

Last train to Alperton
The last ship to reality,
Has just set sail without me.
Domestic animals are talking,
To me in the street while I'm walking.
Who knows which way to go home or if we'll have one
when we get there?
In the end.
You look so good.
I feel so bad.
How can I watch you so much?
I just don't understand.
Who knows which way to go home or if we'll have one
when we get there?
In the end.
That's what you get, that's what you get
