Pulp - Mile End Lyrics
We didnt have no where to live, / we didnt have nowhere to go / til someone said /i know this place off burditt road. / it was on the fifteenth floor, / it hadA board across the door. / it took an hour / to pry it off and get inside. / it smelt asIf someone had died; / the living-room was full of flies, / the kitchen sink was blocked,/ the bathroom sink not there at all. / ooh, / its a mess alright, / yes its / mile end./ and now were living in the sky! / Id never thought Id live so / high, / just likeHeaven / (if it didnt look like hell.) / the lift is always full of piss, / the fifthFloor landing smells of fish / (not just on friday, / every single other day.) / below theKids come out tonight, / they kick a ball and have a fight / and maybe shoot somebody ifThey lose at pool. / ooh, / its a mess alright, / yes its / mile end. / [mumbledMutterings... you love it...] / oo-ooh / nobody wants to be your friend / cause youreNot from round here, / ooh / as if that was / something to be proud about. / the pearlyKing 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 justHow, / how low, / how low a human being can go. / ooh, / its a mess alright, / yes its /Mile end. / (dont do that! leave it out!) / bababa... / lalala...
