Lyrics
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 Oh, it's a mess alright Yes, it's Mile End Nobody wants to be your friend 'Cause you're not from round here Oh, as if that was something to be proud about The Pearly King and 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 Oh, it's a mess alright Yes, it's Mile End Mile End, Mile End
