Mrs. butcher, she sold the load
Came right in, and she cracked the code
She's quite the looker, so I've been told
But hasn't been seen since she went on the road
Then there's Mr johnson, who is bang out of luck
Got caught red handed, but doesn't give a fuck
When your chips are down, you must try looking up
15 years though, and that does suck
[Chorus]
Brick by brick, House by house
These walls have all started breaking out
Days by day, soul and pride
Lighting cigarettes on this counsil side
Siren nights, lights are bright
A story here of the ones who fight
Yours and mine,the fate we make
A riot gang, on a counsil estate
[Verse 2]
Miss Mcdonald, drinking cider pop
Searching her soul, outside the one stop shop
Not that you would, but her knickers would drop
Young in her heart, but looking rather old on top
Then theres Mr smith, yeah,I think he went to far
For a pint of beer, he went and torched that car
Out of control, like a shooting star
Will carry this guilt, it will leave a massive scar
Chorus]
Brick by brick, House by house
These walls have all started breaking out
Days by day, soul and pride
Lighting cigarettes on this council side
Siren nights, lights are bright
A story here of the ones who fight
Yours and mine,the fate we make
A riot gang, on a counsil estate!
[Verse 3]
Mr Jackson, he's in quite the hole
Skinned up and smoked his entire dole
No plan in site, a real lost soul
You can tell from his face, it's took quite the tole
Then there's Mrs beach, well she's quite the peach
Dreams of much more, but so far, it's out of reach
Her House, in order, she really could teach
But she lost her voice during the Kings speech
[Bridge]
All these faces, all these names
Different stories, but at theme of pain
We laugh, we bleed, we carry the flame
On these streets, this will never change
Chorus]
Brick by brick, House by house
These walls have all started breaking out
Days by day, soul and pride
Lighting cigarettes on this council side
Siren nights, lights are bright
A story here of the ones who fight
Yours and mine,the fate we make
A riot gang, on a counsil estate
[Finish]
