Blur — Essex Dogs

[Verse 1] I remember thinking murder in the car Watching dogs somersault through sprinklers on tiny lawns I remember the graffiti We are your children coming at you with spray cans of paint I remember the sunsets on the plains of cement And the way the night just seemed to turn the colour of orangeade [Verse 2] In this town, cellular phones are hot with thieves In this town, we all go to terminal pubs It helps us sweat out those angry bits of life In this town, the English Army grind their teeth into glass You know you'll get a kicking tonight The smell of puke and piss The smell of puke and piss on your stilettos [Verse 3] Here comes that panic attack My heart stops And then it starts Give me a drink I'll drink your round I'll take you 'round the pole It's cold up here (Look up, see the universe) You'll catch the flu or you'll catch the city (Wave goodbye, you're in a hearse) Either way, you'll catch the flu or you'll catch the city
