Round Our Way

Hear next door through paper thin walls
hiding away when the loan man calls
missing the milk and not paying the rent
wondering where all the money's been spent
living on beans at 5 pence a go
clothes from the jumble, hope it doesn't show
checking the papers and placing the bet
could do with a win, up to the neck in debt


(Chorus):
Round our way (x4)


Houses boarded up, no fixed abode
drugs being pushed just down the road
windows open, reggae blaring out
kids smoking dope hear their mother's shout
25 a side football every night
gangs hanging round, looking for a fight
kicked down walls and broken glass
who suffers this, just the working class


(Chorus)


Men so pissed they can hardly stand
women moaning, get the back of the hand
time for a quickie, put her in the club
shit and a shave, back down the pub
paint and graffiti splashed all around
speeding cars a familiar sound
got no jobs so stay in bed
money's been stopped would be better off dead


(Chorus)


No social problems say political powers
don't see this from their ivory towers
