"King's Cross" is a cover song by LorD and Master, originally by Pet Shop Boys from their album, Actually. The song is about King's Cross, the district in London where the railway station serves the north of England.

Lyrics

The man at the back of the queue was sent
To feel a smack of firm government
Lingered by the fly-poster 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
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

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

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 a matter of time

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
There is still no guarantee
And there's still no guarantee

Someone told me Monday
(Told me Monday)
Someone told me Saturday
(Told me Saturday)
Wait until tomorrow and there's still no way
(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
(Still no guarantee)
There is still no guarantee
(Still no guarantee)
And there's still no guarantee
(Still no guarantee, ohh, ohh)
There is still no guarantee
(Still no guarantee, ohh, ohh)
There is still no guarantee
