About

A cheery tune about depression, unemployment, and AIDS.

When the song was written in the 1980s, King’s Cross, London was a hotbed of drug abuse and prostitution. It’s changed a lot since then, however.

In the liner notes for Actually., Neil Tennant writes:

King’s Cross Lyrics

[Verse 1]
The man at the back of the queue was sent
To feel the smack of firm government
Lingered by the flyposter 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

[Chorus]
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

[Verse 2]
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

[Chorus]
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

[Interlude]

[Bridge]
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

[Chorus]
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

[Interlude]

[Chorus]
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

[Outro]
And there's still no guarantee
There is still no guarantee
