Translation
Bilingual
They used to say this was a no go area
Even Bobby wouldn't walk this beat
Then they tore down the Birley Tree
& built student flats at the end of the street
Its just a zoo for a transient population
A shit example set for the next generation
They say its for community
But it stinks of gentrification to me
ย
Stuff your yuppie flats, we're happy with the rats
ย
She's living in the ghetto The Paper told her so
the city got plans for this place A place that she don't know
She used to know her neighbours Used to go and knock round
Borrow a cup of sugar, cup of tea or a few pound
And Gary's dad squatted here Back in the day
Then they put him in this block of flats To keep him out the way
Well now it's prime property In a prime location
On the city limits It's prime for expansion
ย
Stuff your yuppie flats, we're happy with the rats
ย
Unaffordable housing springing up all over town
As all the old flats have been sold or ripped down
Day in day out the ground beneath your feet
Turns in to Tupperware towers for the social elite
Communities ripped apart as the developers move in
& if you don't like it you better get moving
Cos the yuppies yeah there coming in next door
Shouting turn that fuckin' music down there banging on the floor
