K-pop Lyrics

[Verse 1]
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

[Chorus]
Ooh, it's a mess alright
Yes it's Mile End

[Verse 2]
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

[Chorus]
Ooh, it's a mess alright, yes it's Mile End
(mumbled mutterings... you love it...)

[Verse 3]
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

[Chorus]
Ooh,it's a mess alright,yes it's
Mile End

(don't do that! Leave it out!)
(mumbled mutterings..)
[Instrumental break]
