Mile End |
| We didn’t have no where to live, / we didn’t have nowhere to go / 'til someone |
| said / |
| 'I know this place off Burditt Road.'/ It was on the fifteenth floor, / it had |
| a board across the door. |
| / It took an hour / to pry it off and get inside. |
| / It smelt as if someone had died; |
| / the living-room was full of flies, / the kitchen sink |
| was blocked, |
| Heaven / (if it didn’t look like Hell.) / The lift is always full of piss, |
| / the fifth |
| floor landing smells of fish / (not just on Friday, / every single other day. |
| ) / Below the |
| kids come out tonight, / they kick a ball and have a fight / and maybe shoot |
| somebody if they lose at pool. |
| / Ooh, / it’s a mess alright, / yes it’s / Mile End. |
| / [mumbled |
| mutterings… you love it…] / Oo-ooh / Nobody wants to be your friend / |
| 'cause you’re |
| not from round here, / ooh / as if that was / something to be proud about. |
| / The pearly |
| king of the Isle of Dogs / feels up children in the bogs. |
| / Down by the playing |
| fields, / |
| someone sets a car on fire I guess you have to go right down / before you |
| understand just |
| how, / how low, / how low a human being can go. |
| / Ooh, / it’s a mess alright, |
| / yes it’s / |
| Mile End. |
| / (don't do that! Leave it out!) / Bababa… / Lalala… |
