Lyrics
Mate, have you been in Tunbridge Wells precinct lately?
It's so fucking depressing, and I'm quite a positive guy
There's like nowhere to eat, loads of shops are shut
Like you don't literally bump into anyone
Just in Tunbridge Wells now, mate, just running into Five Guys
Um, what are you up to, mate? I thought I could say hello
I'm thinking of you and I'm loving you loads
Merry Chris- merry Christmas, merry Chrysler
Yeah, yeah
This one's called "Shopping Centre", oi
The shopping centre's bleak, it ain't what it used to be
Mark my words, by 2023 this place is gonna be
A distribution centre for Amazon delivery
It's a grim outlook, but that's the way things are going
It's happening rapidly, showing no signs of slowing
There goes another one and another one
Once I got a full month's ban for nicking bubble gum
True stories
But I feel sorry for the security guards now, d'you know what I mean, like?
When we were younger, this place was fucking buzzing
But now
This town is 'coming like a ghost town
Every day another shop's getting closed down
Slow down, if you blink you might miss it
I love this town, but I'm the first to admit it
It's so dead, like R.I.P
Here lie the remains of the RVP (What?)
Coming soะพn, dะพom and gloom
Brought to you in part by Amazon delivery
You already said that, mate
I know I did, mate, but it's true, like, look around
Are you trying to tell me this isn't part of a bigger plan?
You're paranoid, mate
I'm not paranoid
I'm hungry, yeah, my tummy's rumbling
Swing doors swinging and tumbleweeds tumbling
It's got me wondering, the people need answers
What have you done with the golden arches?
What have you done with Kentucky Fried?
I don't eat that shit, but I dug the vibe
I mean, fuck, I'd even go for a Spudulike
What the fuck am I talking about?
Anyway, that was my tune about the RVP
The Royal Victoria Place, there's one in every town
Wait, one last thing
Long live the RVP, long live the RVP
Everybody say
Long live the RVP, long live the RVP
Sports Direct still holding it down
Clinton Cards, yeah, that shop goes hard
Everybody loves a Pandora bracelet
Christmas is just round the corner
What'll be next? Will it be next?
On your last dime you can bet
The iStore ain't going nowhere
The iStore ain't going nowhere
In the front door, out the back
Pharmaceutical, drugs and that
Boots ain't going nowhere
Boots ain't going nowhere
Boots ain't going nowhere
Boots ain't going nowhere
Boots ain't going nowhere
Boots ain't going nowhere
