phoenix james – too soon (remix) lyrics
post+war brutalist architecture housing
19th floor up above everything surrounding
lift smells like p+ss when it’s operational
asbestos walls, c+ckroaches in the hall
sh+tty pigeons decorate the balcony
inner city living ain’t great, that’s just a fallacy
i heard a kid k!lled another kid over a cigarette
went to prison and not a word told in the gazette
one summer time a big television station
came and filmed us all living in degradation
just to play it all on our tvs for entertainment
old metal electric mеter only took 50 pence piеces
to keep the power on, that’s all the household needed
lived just a stone throw away from the primary school gate
couldn’t wait to go home and play all my favourite tapes
rode around the estate on bicycle cruises
became a champion of scr+pes and skateboard bruises
along with all of the other young winners and sore losers
ball games against the wall and new friends
who then only knew barbie dolls and action men
wild girls and naughty boys
grew up fast and sought other toys
newsagents located just at the bottom of the road
sold sp+ce raiders, stickers, penny sweets and beanos
who knew just what life would’ve been
when copies of just seventeen was my favourite magazine
i liked the pop stars and the pop charts
song lyrics and pin up posters i’d pin up in my room
before long it was all over, and we grew up too soon
