F
we didn’t have no where to live ,
Dm
we didn’t have no where to go

’til someone said
C
“i know this place off burditt road . ”
F
it was on the fifteenth floor ,
Dm
it had a board across the door .

it took an hour
C
to pry it off and get inside .
A#
it smelt as if someone had died .

the living – room was full of flies ,
F
the kitchen sink was blocked ,
C
the bathroom sink not there at all .
Cm A#
ooh , it’s a mess alright ,
F# F
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 . . . . ]
oo – ooh

( verse 3 )
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! ) bababa . . .
lalala . . .
