lyrics

(static, then signal)
Yes yes — top deck massive!
(oi oi!)

Three quid left and my ears still ring
Rave sweat drying but my chest still sings
Ticket crumpled up in my fist
Front-left seat, top deck — pure bliss
(brap! brap!)

Even the foxes rave tonight
Bins knocked over left and right
(oi, cheeky!)

N-twenty-nine! Take me home slow
N-twenty-nine! Sunrise in tow
N-twenty-nine! Last of the glow
N-twenty-nine! Every stop's an encore
(ding! — the bell)

A stranger hums the same damn tune
Same club stamp, fresh from the same room
We nod — that's British for mad night
Then ride in comfortable half-light
(safe, bruv) (safe)

Chips on my knees at half past four
The city's mine from the top floor
(vinegar steam)
(the bell dings twice)

N-twenty-nine! Take me home slow
N-twenty-nine! Sunrise in tow
N-twenty-nine! Last of the glow
N-twenty-nine! Every stop's an encore
(rewind! again!)

My stop. Easy, driver. Bless.
(N-twenty-nine... nine... nine...)
(static swallows the sub)
