King's Cross Lyrics

Lyric discussion by DJDisco 

Cover art for King's Cross lyrics by Pet Shop Boys

Running away from home and arriving in the bright lights of London hoping to find a better life. The reality that you arrive on the train into King's Cross, one of the biggest sh1tholes in London. The dead and wounded being the down-and-outs, wineos, homeless etc. Reality hitting home that London doesn't offer success on a plate.
