High Life

Rob steals from cash machines
Tom's hooked-on diazepine
Bill bounces by the ounce
Will he make it to pay day?
Kyle's glued to TV screens
Mason scores us ketamine
Reece, he just wants to fight
And Dylan's a moron
Britney walks the streets
Olly write fashion tweets
Carlys on the pill
Chantelle needs to move on
The pigeons congregate
Thomas procrastinates
Says he's taken up Cantonese
Well maybe tomorrow

Broken hearts
Broken minds
Broken lives
Here in the high-rise
Broken hearts
Broken minds
Broken lives
This is the high-life
Broken hearts
Broken minds
Broken lives
This is the high-life
Broken hearts
Broken minds
Broken lives
Living the high-life

Everyone wants to know
What's up with touchy-Joe?
The blinds are twitching
As he makes way for Dod Street
Steph pays off her holiday
Troy plays at home, when Cats away
Paige thinks that she's gone insane
And Sarah's another story

Broken hearts
Broken minds
Broken lives
Here in the high-rise
Broken hearts
Broken minds
Broken lives
This is the high-life
Broken hearts
Broken minds
Broken lives
This is the high-life
Broken hearts
Broken minds
Broken lives
Living the high-life

Overgrown allotments
By abandoned car parts
Sky TV and a giro cheque
PFC chicken wings
Scattered across stone stairwells
A broken lift
And the whiff of piss
Don't want to be out
Not at night
Avoid the dealers
Avoid the red light
A scream
A shout
Don't get involved
It's Friday night
BBQ on the balcony
Dads down the local
Lads on the lash
And the girls
Shouting abuse as the cars pass by
All under a 50's monolith
We won't miss you
So blow it all away
