flight of the conchords - inner city pressure (live in london) lyrics
inner-city life, inner-city pressure
the concrete world
is starting to get ya
the city is alive
the city is expanding
living in the city can be demanding
you p-wned everything
everything you own
your toothbrush jar
and a camera phone
you don’t know where you’re
going, you cross the street
you don’t know why you did, you
walk back across the street
now you’re standing in the
sitting room totally skint
your favorite jersey
is covered in lint
you want to sit down
but you sold your chair
so you just stand there
you just stand there
you just stand there
both:
inner
inner-city
inner-city pressure
inner-city pressure
counting coins on
the counter of the 7/11
from a quarter past six
till a quarter to seven
the manager, bevin
starts to abuse me
hey man, i just want some muesli
neon signs, hidden messages
questions, answers, and fetishes
you know you’re not in high finance
considering secondhand underpants
check your mind
how did it get so bad?
what happened to those
other underpants you had?
check your pockets
haven’t found one cent yet
landlord’s on your b-lls
“have you paid your rent yet?”
both:
inner
inner-city
inner-city pressure
inner-city pressure
inner
both: inner-city
inner-city pressure
inner-city pressure
can you handle the pressure?
so you think maybe
i’ll be a prost-tute
just to pay for your lessons
you’re learning the flute
ladies won’t pay you
very much for this
looks like you’ll never be
a concert flautist
you don’t measure up
to the expectation
when you’re unemployed
there’s no vacation
no one cares, no one sympathizes
you just stay home
and play synthesizers
you’ve lost perspective
like a picture by escher
it’s the pressure
inner-city pressure
new york
berlin
paris
wellington
pressure, pressure, pressure
