FWe didn't have nowhere to live,
We didn't have nowhere to Dmgo
'til someone said
C"I know this place off Burditt Road."
FIt was on the fifteenth floor,
It had a board across the dooDmr.
It took an hour
CTo pry it off and get inside.
BbIt smelt as if someone had died.
The living-room was full of flies,
FThe kitchen sink was blocked,
Cthe bathroom sink not there at all.

CmOoh, it's a mess Bbalright,
Yes it's GbMile FEnd.

FAnd now we're living in the sky!
I'd never thought I'd live so Dmhigh,
Just like Heaven 
C(if it didn't look like Hell.)
FThe lift is always full of piss,
The fifth floor landing smells of fDmish
C(Not just on Friday, every single other day.)
BbBelow the kids come out tonight,
They kick a ball and have a fight
FAnd maybe shoot somebody if they lose at pool.

FThe pearly king of the Isle of Dogs
feels up children in the bogsDm.
Down by the playing fields,
Csomeone sets a car on fire
BbI guess you have to go right down
beforFe you understand just how,
Chow low,  how low a human being can go.

[Verse 1]

We didn't have nowhere 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.

[Chorus]

Cm Bb

Ooh, it's a mess alright,

Gb F

Yes it's Mile End.

[Verse 2]

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.

[Chorus]

Cm Bb

Ooh, it's a mess alright,

Gb F

Yes it's Mile End. (mumbled mutterings....)

Oo-ooh

[Verse 3]

Nobody wants to be your friend

'cause you're not from round here,

ooh as if that was something to be proud about.

The pearly king of 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.

[Chorus]

Cm Bb

Ooh, it's a mess alright,

Gb F

Yes it's Mile End.

(don't do that! Leave it out!)
