Big Audio Dynamite - Tighten Up, Vol. 88 текст песни

"Get aboard the last train to Skaville"



A windmill stands in the city of spades

The Effra River flows under Granville Arcade



Old dogs in cold harbour have fond memories

Remember the days, this was Viking country

Natives blacks and werewolves, yeah, we got it all

Every kind of exotic friut on the market stall



Those drums keep on pounding

Since they moved in down the street

Cold wet surroundings

The cops don't like the beat



No no



Cost of bread is rising, the area's run down

They painted up the brickwork, they painted up the town



While my brother dug the ramjam, I got flea-pit matinees

And we'd catch the number 2, go up West for the day

Tighten Up, volume 2, sound system bon marche

Roits on Jebb Avenue, down Marcus Garvey Way



Those drums keep on pounding

Since they moved in down the street

Cold wet surroundings

The cops don't like the beat



No no



A windmill stands in the city of spades

The Effra River flows under Granville Arcade



There's Christmas lights on Railton Road, it looks like Oxford Street

If Santa's got electric goods, he'd better have receipts

I got no airs and graces, always been this way

After all I come from Brixton what else can I say



"Just watching, calm down"

"Oh, sweet Lord"
