Bethnal Green

Went to Bethnal Green tube station

Money in my hand, gave him nothing but a smile, oh no

Oh no, oh no, oh no

I was walking down Hackney Road

Block of flats turned into a second home, you know

You know, you know, you know

And you've always known

I was thinking, thinking I needed it

'Cos I was feeling, feeling so out of it

I was dreaming, dreaming of bigger things

I was digging too deep when I found you

I found you, place called home

Went to Bethnal Green postal code

Got too gentrified, now it's lost its soul, oh no

I need, I need a reason, just give me some completion

I was walking on way down south

Came across a placard saying "Yuppies out", you know

Just say you don't contest me, just say you won't forget me

Went to Bethnal Green tube station

I can't, I can't go back there, you know I can't be seen there

Money in my hand, couldn't look him in the eye, oh no

I need, I need a reason, just give me some completion

I was walking down Hackney Road

I'm sorry that it faded, you know it's complicated

Bought a second flat, how dare you tell me how to feel about that?

Just say you don't contest me, just say you won't forget me

How dare you tell me how to feel about that?

How dare you tell me how to feel?

I was feeling, feeling so out of it

I was dreaming

I was thinking, thinking I needed it

'Cos I was feeling, feeling so out of it

I was dreaming, dreaming of bigger things

I was digging too deep, too deep

I was thinking, thinking I needed it

'Cos I was feeling, feeling so out of it

I was dreaming, dreaming of bigger things

If I say I'm sorry, then I'm sorry

I'm sorry, surely
