Manfred Mann Up The Junction Lyrics

Up The Junction Lyrics

Days begun and people rush
Off to work by 410 bus
Open eyes and open
minds
Conditioned to the daily grind

Up the Junction x2

Days
begun and people rush
Off to work by 410 bus
Through the factory gates
they swarm
(can’t work this line out)
Overalls like uniforms
See
their faces, young and old
Filling every crack and hole
Some are floating
in a dream
But all go through the same routine
Drifting in a human
stream

Up the Junction x 2

Open eyes and open
minds
Conditioned to the daily grind
Stop to lock their dreams
away
There’s nothing new about today
Only what the papers
say…

Up the Junction x 2

Lots of people down the street
meet friends and say, “Hello,
It’s not as hot as
yesterday,
The better weather’s on the way.”

Up the
Junction (fade)
