And we found comfort here in this graveyard of burnt out cars
And we fell asleep each night to a handbrake wheel spin lullaby
And every year the summer came, it set our streets alight
We were victims of a two-tier system
By autumn's end we had lost many a teenage life
A succession of sodium lights
Kicked in to support the failing sunlight
Our streets were painted black, our streets a racing track
That only ever came awake at night
Back when our prospects were zero
And our idea of heroes
Specialized in taking cars without recompense
You should have seen their young faces
After some high-speed chases
Even their home mothers couldn't recognize them
But we found comfort here in this graveyard of burnt out cars
And we fell asleep each night to a handbrake wheel spin lullaby
And every year the summer came, it set our streets alight
We were victims of a two-tier system by autumn's end
We had lost many a teenage life
A succession of flashing blue lights ripped through the sky
The screeching sirens broke our silence
And though this place exuded the confidence of youth
It became synonymous with acts of violence
Forever in the news, this nation's favorite muse
We love to feed off of other people's sorrows
But what we fail to see, our tidy town today
Just may well be the bloody ghettos of tomorrow
And we found comfort here in this graveyard of burnt out cars
We fell asleep each night to a handbrake wheel spin lullaby
And every year the summer came, it set our streets alight
We were victims of a two-tier system by autumn's end
We had lost many a teenage life
A succession of sodium lights
Kicked in to support the failing sunlight
Our streets were painted black, our streets a racing track
That only ever came awake at night
I won't forget the fright I got one summer night
When a local known as Yogan Hall
Had too much to drink and took a car
And smashed it through the patrician wall
And as they battled hard to free him from the car
From a bedroom window I saw it all
However he survived, however he's alive
They all joke he looks all the better for it
