I heard that Brick Lane Was the place to be seen if you weren't lame So I took the train and I made my way But when I got there, everyone had done the same It was such a shame because I was in pain 'Cause these skinny jeans were so tight around my waist As was generally in with the current taste in this fixed game 'Cause if the work and play is here, then you're gonna need a place to stay And we're all willing to pay if the price is sane But the free-to-buy landlords up and raised the stakes To a height we just can't make So the cash flows from the out-of-town is comin' With their hands in their parents' pockets for the day-to-day But that's okay 'Cause I went to Queens Road That's the main road that runs through Peckham if you don't know Traditionally a place the streetwives know, but I'd been told That this was the new cool area in town, but if felt so cold 'Cause all the cheap property had been sold to the landlord [?] And you know how those guys like to put the rent so high But I suppose that I don't mind if it lowers violent crime Even though there's a huge line outside the bussey building now all the time And I have to pay to get inside I didn't, I didn't used to have to do that Songtexte And the cash flows from all the wealthy come in Who seem not to like the scene that led them on And the scene is gone But I heard that Berlin Was the place where you could fight time and possibly win So I grabbed some cash and a plane and I flew right in With only my vegan currency and my mandolin Oh, it was quite a thing that made my head spin 'Cause there's a ring-up up there so your cash don't spread so thin So I told all my [?] friends and they wanted in But none of the speak German, though, is that gonna be a thing? I don't know if they wanna learn the language right now I mean, there's no ... options I mean, with this energy from us out-of-towners comin' And they speak English here, so what the hell could go wrong? With doctors next to painters next to porters All living equal in the land they settle on I mean, it might catch on I hear that Brick Lane Is the place to be if you can afford the pain Oh, it just ain't the same Aus Songtexte Mania
