East End Blues

from Rust in Peace (EP) by Vladimir Chicken

lyrics

Cold in the air of your building, and the windows steaming up.
Kirsty MacColl on the radio as you do the washing up.
I don't even know what road you live on, I don't know the way - somewhere down East London where the Libertines used to play.

Late at night, when you're curling up at home, I'm chasing trains of thought around the streets out on my own.
I watch the cars on the Westway shoot straight thru all the lights, but the East End Blues, they follow me around... follow me all night!

Rattling along on the Northern Line on a long October night.
Noone to see in the pub anymore so I go home (and turn on all the lights) and listen to the mix CD you made in 2008.
I dig myself a dungeon and I lock the iron gate.

I've lived this once before and it was so painful then! Now I've got to see the whole thing happening again!
I watch the cars on the Westway shoot straight thru all the lights, but the East End Blues get stuck here... stuck here every night.

They follow me around. The East End Blues.

They get stuck here every night.
