Mile End — текст песни (Pulp)

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,
the bathroom sink not there at all. / Ooh, / it`s a mess alright,
/ yes it`s
Mile End. / And now we`re living in the sky! / I`d never thought
I`d live so
high, / just like 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...
