[Verse 1]
F
We didn't have nowhere to live,

                          Dm
We didn't have nowhere to go
'til someone said
C
"I know this place off Burditt Road."

F
It was on the fifteenth floor,

                             Dm
It had a board across the door.
It took an hour
C
To pry it off and get inside.

Bb 
It smelt as if someone had died.
The living-room was full of flies,
F
The kitchen sink was blocked,

C
the bathroom sink not there at all.
[Chorus]
Cm               Bb
Ooh, it's a mess alright,

         Gb  F
Yes it's Mile End.
[Verse 2]
F
And now we're living in the sky!

                              Dm
I'd never thought I'd live so high,
Just like Heaven
C
(if it didn't look like Hell.)

F
The lift is always full of piss,

                                   Dm
The fifth floor landing smells of fish

C
(Not just on Friday, every single other day.)

Bb
Below the kids come out tonight,
They kick a ball and have a fight
F                       
And maybe shoot somebody if they lose at pool.
[Chorus]
Cm               Bb
Ooh, it's a mess alright,

         Gb  F
Yes it's Mile End. (mumbled mutterings....)
Oo-ooh [Verse 3]
F
Nobody wants to be your friend

                              Dm
'cause you're not from round here,

                     C
ooh  as if that was  something to be proud about.

F
The pearly king of the Isle of Dogs

                             Dm
feels up children in the bogs.
Down by the playing fields,
C
someone sets a car on fire

Bb
I guess you have to go right down

     F
before you understand just how,

C         
how low,  how low a human being can go.
[Chorus]
Cm               Bb
Ooh, it's a mess alright,

         Gb  F
Yes it's Mile End.
(don't do that! Leave it out!) Bababa... Lalala...
