"Hackney Wick" lyrics

I kinda wanna wait till it drops

You know those nights aren't planned
Like you rush home from work, shower, eat, make up
Jam to your tunes, have a drink
Get a little waved, I'm running late but I still have time
Take some pictures, walk fast, music's blasting
Bump into an old school friend
Tap my card, elevator, train
Four stops to Hackney Wick

We meet outside, colours
We have a drink on the canal
The sun's just set, it's 10 P.M
Pink's turned to dark blue, to grey and glow
The moon is reflecting all pretty on the water
We're looking so fit
We call it dressing down
This is wearing as little clothes as possible
I wrap my coat round your shoulders
There's this mad energy in East tonight
Why does the city get me so well?
That's when we head to the warehouse
I hear the bass, the music and I succumb
We drink and we dance and then we just have like fucking good time
And then this is off a party, back to her friends just down the canal
She lives off my old street in Bow, three minutes from Vicki Park
We break into the park and we just run
And I'm laughing so hard that I fall to the floor
You lay next to me and I start to trip
The stars, they're molding into spaceships
Like aliens snogging in the clouds
It's sexy
You're so hot we start to kiss
Your lips feel so good
And I remember we've got another party so we're back
Baby's DJ-ing
And the room pulses

Pulses so hard

Take me right back to Hackney Wick
Take my heart to my youth right here
Take me right back to Hackney Wick
All the love, all the energy
Take me right back to Hackney Wick
Take my heart to my youth right here
Take me right back to Hackney Wick
All the love, all the energy

Hackney Wick, Hackney Wick, Hackney Wick, Hackney Wick
Hackney Wick, Hackney Wick, Hackney Wick, Hackney Wick
Hackney Wick, Hackney Wick, Hackney Wick, Hackney Wick
Hackney Wick, Hackney Wick, Hackney Wick, Hackney Wick
