| [00:06.36] |
We didn't have nowhere to live |
| [00:08.91] |
We didn't have nowhere to go |
| [00:11.97] |
'Til someone said |
| [00:13.86] |
"I know this place off Burditt Road" |
| [00:15.86] |
It was on the fifteenth floor |
| [00:18.84] |
It had a board across the door |
| [00:21.68] |
It took an hour to prise it off |
| [00:24.65] |
And get inside |
| [00:25.59] |
It smelt as if someone had died |
| [00:28.58] |
The living room was full of flies |
| [00:30.85] |
The kitchen sink was blocked |
| [00:32.73] |
The bathroom sink not there at all |
| [00:35.26] |
Ooh, it's a mess alright |
| [00:39.78] |
Yes it's, Mile End |
| [00:45.07] |
And now we're living in the sky |
| [00:50.80] |
I never thought I'd live so high |
| [00:53.39] |
Just like Heaven |
| [00:55.53] |
If it didn't look like Hell |
| [00:57.75] |
The lift is always full of piss |
| [01:00.50] |
The fifth floor landing smells of fish |
| [01:02.86] |
Not just on Friday |
| [01:05.08] |
Every single other day |
| [01:07.34] |
Below the kids come out tonight |
| [01:10.38] |
They kick a ball and have a fight |
| [01:13.08] |
And maybe shoot somebody |
| [01:15.92] |
If they lose at pool |
| [01:17.21] |
Ooh, it's a mess alright |
| [01:21.46] |
Yes it's, Mile End |
| [01:30.37] |
Nobody wants to be your friend |
| [02:14.58] |
'Cause you're not from 'round here, ooh |
| [02:17.08] |
As if that was |
| [02:19.18] |
Something to be proud about |
| [02:21.72] |
The Pearly King of the Isle of Dogs |
| [02:24.54] |
Feels up children in the bogs |
| [02:26.87] |
Down by the playing fields |
| [02:28.90] |
Someone sets a car on fire |
| [02:31.22] |
I guess you have to go right down |
| [02:34.27] |
Before you understand just how |
| [02:36.75] |
How low |
| [02:38.68] |
How low a human being can go |
| [02:41.03] |
Ooh, it's a mess alright |
| [02:44.83] |
Yes it's, Mile End |
