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)
