Suspicious Eyes

Lyrics

Oh God I'm running late again I don't believe this Another Wednesday morning on the train to work And my weekend spread into the middle of the week I'm boozing every night; three hours sleep Check out the people, all stare at my feet Guy next to me pretends to read the Metro Sort of bloke who calls everybody "bro" But only met a black guy at uni, though And the lady with the kid watches some guy make the train Suspicious eyes Looking for the end (Clocks are ticking and we leave on time) Suspicious eyes Looking for the end A young Asian guy with a rucksack on his back Jumps onto the tube, is he ready to attack? God, just imagine being all over Trapped in the tube with nowhere to go All the smoke and confusion, stuck in this dark coffin The man with the paper, he moves from his seat Why did that kid stand so close to me? I'm sick of them moaning that they're being picked on But it's them running round with the bombs I'll grab the kids, leave London Stand Join the white flight to Surrey and beyond Suspicious eyes Looking for the end (Clocks are ticking and we leave on time) Suspicious eyes Looking for the end These people are assuming who I am, but they're wrong Got a beard and a bag so they think I got a bomb I saw everyone's reaction soon as I stepped through the door All acting like they've never seen a brown person before The guy in front of me, he should be reading his paper I'm checking my watch cos there's an interview that I'm gonna be late for Every time I step on the tube, there's a dude in his suit Who ain't got no manners, doesn't he know staring is rude? And if you're so scared, move! I've just stopped caring I'm off at the next stop, mate, just keep staring Suspicious eyes Looking for the end (Clocks are ticking and we leave on time) Suspicious eyes Looking for the end (Clocks are ticking and we leave on time)
