FWe didn't have no where to live,
We didn't have no where to dgo
'til someone said "I Cknow this place off Burditt Road."
FIt was on the fifteenth floor,
It had a board across the ddoor.
It took an hour to Cpry it off and get inside.
BIt smelt as if someone had died.
The living-room was full of Fflies,
The kitchen sink was blocked,
the Cbathroom sink not there at all.
cOoh, it's a Bmess alright,
Yes it's bMile FEnd.

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 some-
body if they lose at pool.
Ooh, it's a mess alright,
Yes it’s Mile End.

(Mumbled mutterings) 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…
