[Intro: Ragga-jungle male MC, train hum, chopped breakbeat drums] Last train, bredren Last stop, gone Selecta, hold it [Verse 1: Ragga-jungle male MC, rapid toasting over the breakbeat] Twelve-oh-five, last train, with my head upon the glass Ten stops home, I count to six, and then the rest just pass Wake up and the carriage dark, the doors are open wide Not a soul aboard but me, and the depot yard outside Fences topped with razor wire and the rails all shinin' blue Then I feel it through the gravel, bredren, sub bass comin' through Line of light beneath a shutter where they put the trains to bed And a voice inside is callin' out the stations, rollin' red [Build: Ragga-jungle male MC, shutter roll, the depot shutter grinds up into the dark, the breakbeat and reese bass crash in as it opens] Next stop nowhere, next stop here Watch the gap, bredren, bring it near Doors are closin', no one cares Shutter goin' up and everybody's there [Hook: Ragga-jungle male MC, full breakbeat, rolling reese bass] End of the line, bredren, and the line don't end Everybody in the shed missed a stop, my friend Terminus, terminus, where the last train sleeps Miss your stop one time and the dance will keep [Verse 2: Ragga-jungle male MC, faster, chopped breakbeat] Inside there's a bus mechanic and a nurse in her blue scrubs Chef still in his apron and a girl from the clubs Every one of 'em fell asleep on the twelve-oh-five Every one of 'em woke up here and felt alive Cleaners got the speakers stacked up on a ticket stand Night bus man on the decks with a dubplate in his hand Selecta in a hi-vis vest, he's lettin' every tune run Wheel up! and the whole shed screamin' till the first train comes [Build: Ragga-jungle male MC, the breakbeat snaps back in under the toasting] Next stop nowhere, next stop here Watch the gap, bredren, bring it near Doors are closin', no one cares Shutter goin' up and everybody's there [Hook: Ragga-jungle male MC, full breakbeat, rolling reese bass] End of the line, bredren, and the line don't end Everybody in the shed missed a stop, my friend Terminus, terminus, where the last train sleeps Miss your stop one time and the dance will keep [Verse 3: Ragga-jungle male MC, the payoff, rapid ragga-jungle toasting] Now on Fridays I don't fight it, let the carriage rock me out Ten stops home, I shut my eyes and let the driver run the route Wake up at the depot with the shutter halfway high Selecta clocks me comin' and he calls my station by Like an inside joke, bredren, that the whole shed knows Missed the stop I paid for and I found the one that glows Paid a single to the suburbs and I never made it home Best dance in the city costs a nap and a dead phone [Hook: Ragga-jungle male MC, full breakbeat, rolling reese bass] End of the line, bredren, and the line don't end Everybody in the shed missed a stop, my friend Terminus, terminus, where the last train sleeps Miss your stop one time and the dance will keep [End]
