 Rate Mile End
Artist : Pulp
Song : 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,
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...
