Lyrics | [Intro: Mike Skinner] Yeah, street level Oi, oi, yeah That's it, right there [Chorus: Kevin Mark Trail & Mike Skinner] 'Round here, nothing seems to change (At street level) Same old thing every day (That's it, that's it, that's it) Just gets played and replayed in different ways (Yeah) Oi, tune's heavy 'Round here, nothing seems to change (At street level) Same old thing every day (That's it, that's it, that's it) Just gets played and replayed in different ways (Yeah) Oi, oi, right there [Verse 1: Mike Skinner] Whose round is it? Down that beer quick, smash my glass back down Fall over the table, all rowdy and pissed Seems the only difference between midweek shit And weekend is how loud I speak And whether I try and pull a girlfriend, that's it Who's got dough? Ayy, you know I'd pay, but I'm broke, only got coinage to show Putting off walking home on my own to my throne Two empty takeaways, ashtrays, the remains of the day stoned Pick a bottle off the table, peel the label, tell a fable Offer opinion for free on a solution to the latest big news story "Football and Smut Daily" as I ponder winning the lottery Buy a drink, chat to a lady, the girl's well fit Definitely, not maybe, she's rude I'd shag her and make tea, right there [Chorus: Kevin Mark Trail & Mike Skinner] 'Round here, nothing seems to change (At street level) Same old thing every day (That's it, that's it, that's it) Just gets played and replayed in different ways (Yeah) Oi, oi, heavy, heavy 'Round here, nothing seems to change (At street level) Same old thing every day (That's it, that's it, that's it) Just gets played and replayed in different ways (Yeah) Oi, oi You might also like[Verse 2: Mike Skinner] Can't lounge in the boozer all day, got manoeuvres to make Gotta see a man about a dog, can't be late, I'm always late Raining cats and fog, but nice and dry in the Black Dog Down it in one, my son Can't sit here, gotta run, things need done If they don't win this and the next one They're getting relegated to the third division At street level, real people, same repeated sequel Rock and roll, four to the floor Like last night, yesterday morning And the night before, and the night before [Bridge: Mike Skinner] Apparently There's a whole world out there somewhere (It's right there) I just don't see it (Right there) I just don't see it (Oi, oi) [Chorus: Kevin Mark Trail & Mike Skinner] 'Round here, nothing seems to change (At street level) Same old thing every day (That's it, that's it, that's it) Just gets played and replayed in different ways (Yeah) Oi, street level 'Round here, nothing seems to change (At street level) Same old thing every day (That's it, that's it, that's it) Just gets played and replayed in different ways (Yeah) Oi, oi, heavy, heavy [Outro: Mike Skinner] Lock the door on your way out |
