LYRICS
HIGH LIFE
Rob steels from cash machines
Tom's hooked on diazepine
Bill bounces by the ounce
Will he make it to pay day?
​
Kyles glued to TV screens
Mason scores us ketamine
Reece he just wants to fight
And Dylan's a moron
​
Britney walks the streets
Olly writes fashy tweets
Carly's on the pill
Chantelle needs to move on
The pigeons congregate
Thomas procrastinates
Says he's taken up Cantonese
Well, maybe tomorrow
​
Broken hearts
Broken mind
Broken lives
Here in the high-rise
​
Broken hearts
Broken minds
Broken lives
This is the high-life
​
Broken hearts
Broken minds
Broken lives
This is the high-life
​
Broken hearts
Broken minds
Broken lives
Living the high-life
​
'Cos everyone wants to know
What's up with Touchy-Joe
The blinds are twitching
As he makes his way from Dod St.
​
Steph pays off her holiday
Troy plays at home, when Cat's away
Paige thinks that she's gone insane
And Sarah's another story
​
Broken hearts
Broken mind
Broken lives
Here in the high-rise
​
Broken hearts
Broken minds
Broken lives
This is the high-life
​
Broken hearts
Broken minds
Broken lives
This is the high-life
​​
Broken hearts
Broken minds
Broken lives
Living the high-life
​
Overgrown allotments by abandoned car-parts
Sky TV and a GIRO cheque
PFC Chicken wings scattered across stone stairwells
A broken lift and the whiff of piss
Don't want to be out
Not at night
Avoid the dealers
Avoid the red light
A scream, a shout
Don't get involved
It's Friday night
BBQ on the balcony
Dad's down the local
Lad's on the lash
And the girls shouting abuse as the cars pass by
All under a 50's monolith
We won't miss you
So blow it all away
