"Down in the Tube Station at Midnight" was the second single taken from the album All Mod Cons by The Jam. Released on 21 October 1978 it charted at #15 and was backed by a cover of the Who song So Sad About Us and The Night, written by Bruce Foxton. The back of the record jacket displayed a photo of Keith Moon, former drummer of The Who, who died of an overdose the month prior to the single's release.
In the lyrics to the song, the narrator is beaten up and mugged by thugs who "smelled of pubs and Wormwood Scrubs and too many right-wing meetings."
