lyrics

SOUTH EAST ONE
(Short)

Standing on the rooftop, the sun begins to rise
London spreads before us. It’s so good to be alive.
Our devils they will promise us this will all be ours someday
And so we drop some other pills and sleep the day away.

You know that river keeps on rolling, washing mud into the sea
No pennies in our pockets, this land was made for you and me.
And the seconds that we capture in the station photo booth
They say youth last forever which we swear that it’s the truth.

Waterloo Station, The Cut, The River Thames
The Lambeth Walk, St Thomas’, Old Vic and Number Ten
Westminster Abbey and the Tower of Big Ben
Do you have a quid that I could lend?

There’s violence on the corner and bad men in the night
But we’ve half a pack of cigarettes if we can beg a light
We huddle under blankets. We huddle on the floor.
The stuff that dreams are made of. The stuff holds in store.

And I don’t ever want to leave here.
Not now that I can hold you near.
And there are some who’ll tell you hell on earth has come
But we’re in heaven South East One.

You know a coin lay on the footpath, a silver glinting eye
So I took you out for a cup of tea. We even stole some pie.
It might not be a happy ending, it might not be a grand romance
But I watch you across the table and all I want to do is dance
