Up the Junction (Theme) Songtext
von Manfred Mann

Day′s begun and people rush

Off to work by 410 bus

Open eyes and open minds

Conditioned to the daily grind

Lots of feet rush down the street (hello)

Lots of feet rush down the street (hello)
Ahh, ahh, ahh, ahh, ahh, ahh, ahh
Ahh, ahh, ahh, ahh, ahh

Up the junction

Up the junction

Day's begun and people rush
Off to work by 410 bus
Through the factory gates they swarm
Similar clothes by all are worn
(Overalls like uniforms)


A sea of faces, young and old
Filling every crack and hole
Some are floating in a dream
But all go through the same routine
(Drifting in the human stream)

Up the junction

Up the junction

Open eyes and open minds
Conditioned to the daily grind
Start to lock their dreams away
There′s nothing new about today
(Only what the papers say)

Up the junction

Up the junction

Lots of feet rush down the street
Meet friends and say, "Hello"
"It's not as nice as yesterday"
"The better weather's on the way"

Up the junction (ahh, ahh, ahh, ahh)
Up the junction (ahh, ahh, ahh, ahh)
Up the junction (ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh)
Up the junction (ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh)
Up the junction (ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh)
