I'm a tube train runner
I Never pay no fare
I'm gonna jump your barrier
Most anywhere

I'm an escalator hater
I ride them every day
Aint't gonna pay
No way

'cos... I'm an escalator hater
a I keep runnin alot
you know you can't catch me
'cos I'm an escalator regulator motivator space invader

I'm a tube train runner
Bakerloo line
I get away with tenpence
Time after time

I'm an escalator hater
I've got scratches up my arm
And I'm a mean-oh invader
'cos I drink all-ahh-lot-ah


'cos... I'm an escalator hater
i and a dunno ... bum
you know you can't catch me
'cos I'm an escalator regulator motivator space invader

--- Guitar solo ---

I'm a tube train runner
I Never pay no fare
I'm gonna jump your barrier
Most anywhere

'cos... I'm an escalator hater
i and a dunno ... bum
you know you can't catch me
'cos I'm an escalator regulator motivator space invader
