Pulp - Mile End - From 'Trainspotting' Original Motion Picture Soundtrack lyrics

Artist: Pulp

album: Different Class / Deluxe Edition


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
