Don't Like Going Places

Yo, uh, I like being there in a place that I know

Where everybody knows my name

I like knowin' where I stand, stickin' to a plan

And I don't really like much change

I got a routine similar to Pauline Fowler's

Know what I mean?

I like a chat with the neighbors, a flick through the papers

A snout and a nice cup of tea

Yeah, I'm talkin' one pound twenty on a patty from Brenda

Youngers rollin' though the ends like Avengers

Drunk Delroy on an eight day bender

Might call Rezzy, might go pick a Benz up

I go past Watford, I pack that passport

Ten years, no four pubs in my bar crawl

Same old row with Raj in the shops

He's a West Ham boy, I'm in love with the arsenal

Grass ain't greener, the puff ain't either

Don't kid yourself

I'ma settle down with a bird from boots

You can keep your latino girls

'Cause I like what I know and I fear what I don't

And I ain't on my own

If I wanted an adventure I'd sit in my yard

Watch a bit of Game of Thrones, oh

Don't like, don't like

Don't like, don't like

You know I don't like, don't like

Don't like, don't like

Don't like going these raves off ends

Where nobody knows my name

'Cause I like to know where I stand on a night

'Cause if things don't go my way, I might say

I'm a bit of a boat down these bits

I could take that Richard that he's with

But I don't, 'cause I know his mate's sister

Bless her, she bought me a Boss shirt from Bicester

I wanna get served, not served up

Fuck going up town, that's murder

If it's cheap, then how can you knock it?

Go Beckemham, I don't put me hand in me pocket

Stop it, never, no chance, none

I'll be in bridge with me great grandson

And I ain't got two more lines

But fuck it, the rave's just done

Don't like, don't like

Don't like, don't like

You know I don't like, don't like

Don't like, don't like

Born and bred Lewisham, indigenous southerner

So when I go out, a bird knows what's in front of her

I've always been a flash little son of a bitch

Don't say that I know your kind, 'cause I'm one of a

Only a few round here

That's proud that I live down here

Mate, do I sound clear?

Can't tell me Jack like Alice

My first love interest was Crystal Palace

I might go for a meal that's not run of the mill

But then it's straight back to my post code

Don't like traveling much, I'm not Gulliver

Stay wrong side of the river with a couple of

Boats and Chevys, chaps with comb-overs ready

Pubs with the coldest bevvies

Keep brick laying with your jackets and snapbacks

I'll be down here cracking rackets in Rascasse

You know I don't like going places

That I've never been before

You know I seen so many faces

That I've never seen before

Don't like, don't like

Don't like, don't like

You know I don't like, don't like

Don't like, don't like

You know I don't like, don't like

Don't like, don't like

You know I don't like, don't like

Don't like, don't like

'Cause where we're at is wonderful

Yeah, where we're at is wonderful

Seems nothing's changed since I left school

I know what's what, I know who's cool

'Cause where we're at is wonderful

Yeah, where we're at is wonderful

Seems nothing's changed since I left school

I know what's what, I know who's cool

That's why I

You know I don't like going places

That I've never been before

You know I seen so many faces

That I've never seen before

Don't like, don't like

Don't like, don't like

You know I don't like, don't like

Don't like, don't like

You know I don't like, don't like

Don't like, don't like

You know I don't like, don't like

Don't like, don't like
