Once Upon a Time in Middlesbrough
Walking into town
Tryna pay my rent
My life's turning upside down
All money spent
And I'm still in my dressing gown
Coz I hadn't got no clothes to wear
Somet's going down
And it's never rude to stop and stare
It looks like he's wired up on something that's probably against the law
D'ya think we should go over and help him now that he's face-down on the floor?
"Eh nor, don't think so
I think we should just like, leave them over there
D'ya know what I mean? Coz this is like Boro"
And nobody'll ever fucking care
About some crackhead who's lost his last chance home
Worst part is though, this kid's only 12 years old
But no school'll av him... (Av a parmo)
Limping down the street
Glass lodged in her feet
Stepdad's not far behind
Shouting "You little slut! I won't be undermined!"
But you can tell by the way she hides
He's thumped her another black eye
He's seen the photographs online
Well, it looks like she's got into a bit of trouble
With this abusive nonce that she's been living with
I think we should ring the police at once!
"Eh nor! Fuck the bobbies
When have they ever had a clue? Absolute piss-take
Coz they've all been, they've all been sniffing too much glue!"
And GBH won't reinstate this man
Worst part is though, we all know that lass' mam
Coz she works at Greggs
I guess the world is blind
Considering what's going on inside my town...
Oi! Miss? Where are my benefits?
And can I sue the NHS?
Came in for a kidney, walked out with boobies...
Tryna pay my rent
My life's turning upside down
All money spent
And I'm still in my dressing gown
Coz I hadn't got no clothes to wear
Somet's going down
And it's never rude to stop and stare
It looks like he's wired up on something that's probably against the law
D'ya think we should go over and help him now that he's face-down on the floor?
"Eh nor, don't think so
I think we should just like, leave them over there
D'ya know what I mean? Coz this is like Boro"
And nobody'll ever fucking care
About some crackhead who's lost his last chance home
Worst part is though, this kid's only 12 years old
But no school'll av him... (Av a parmo)
Limping down the street
