Council estate

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

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

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!

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

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
