King's Cross Lyrics

Yeah one of my favourites too, one of their truly haunting tracks. I love the use of the sampled train and station sounds in the middle of the song. I can also still remember the television footage of the King's Cross fire and I was only 9. A complete coincidence though, I think this track has to be about the promise of a better life, realising your dreams in the bright lights and the big city, the reality however, is somewhat different...!
