"St. George Wharf Tower" lyrics

"St. George Wharf Tower"

Maypole flowers, another diary entry
You don't need a sentry
To watch over you
Many have died tryna to be the hero
You don't need a hero
In these modern climbs

Vauxhall high-rise life
Are you living in the clouds?
Or on the A3205?
It's hard to say
But I hope you're happy now

Born in Grays, mama didn't raise no fool
Mama, am I strong enough
To deal with these blues?
All my life playing in the waiting rooms
Always wanted kids, you know
But the pressure at work

Vauxhall high-rise life
Are you living in the clouds?
Or on the A3205?
It's hard to say
But I hope you're happy now
Maybe I hope you're happy now

Sacrifices
You once made
For a life worth living, yeah
Just not today
Oh, you hate all the fairytales
The ones they fed you back in the day
Oh, how you hate those fairytales
But sometimes, but sometimes, but sometimes

Vauxhall high-rise life
Are you living in the clouds?
Or on the A3205?
It's hard to say
But I hope you're happy now
Maybe I hope you're happy now
