High Rise
I'm becoming remote i lose my contact with the street
all the shops are on the pavement no incentive to eat
well i never get drunk cos the pubs in the town
and i'm stuck up here babe and its such a long way down
theres two thousand and twenty six steps on the stairs
well im always exhausted collapsing in chairs
living high above this pollution and smoke
life is no fun cos the lifts always broke

sometimes i go up sometimes i go down
when i get bored i just walk round and round
but the biggest disadvantage of living in this hole
is going out on tuesdays and signing on the dole

the post office tower is obscured from view
im genuinely bored cos theres nothing to do
i look out my window what do i see ?
high rise apartment blocks looking at me
im always reading yesterdays news and
i'm spending my money on new pairs of shoes
well the paper boy and milkman they both share the same fate
if i go out too early im never back till late

sometimes i go up sometimes i go down
when i get bored i just walk round and round
but the biggest disadvantage of living in this hole
is going out on tuesdays and signing on the dole

I'm becoming remote i lose my contact with the street
all the shops are on the pavement no incentive to eat
