Yo, do you remember that girl from school?
What girl?
That girl from school, man
Which one?
Don't you remember Nadine?
Do you remember Nadine?
Light-skinned Dean
Nadine?
Yes, Nadine
Yo, I seen her the other day
Yeah, where was she on?
I seen her on Withington Road, mate
I seen her on Withington Road
What, swinging?
Nah, down, down, mate, down hill
Down, hill
Yeah
Yo, she's become a fiend
Trust me, let me tell you about Nadine
Nadine was any man's dream
Tipped by the brown skin, only eighteen
Naive, young, fresh and clean
Every man wanted this street queen
With the same guy for years
His name was Jack, he'd come round here
Jack, yeah, he was kinda weird
And would beat up Nadine after just two beers
She was faithful and stayed strong
But after years of this shit it just got long
Stuck in depression, time to move on
So when Jack came home, Nadine was gone
She went and moved into a hostel
A grimy pit full of shots and fiends
Every day pumping cocaine up her nostril
Trying to disguise all the pain she feels
What you gonna do? Sit back and get high and
Waste away as time goes by?
Not do nothing, don't even try
You're so cracked up that you might as well die
Every night you just cry
But in your shit you still lie
It's a shame that you rely on that to get by
What you gonna do? Sit back and get high and
Waste away as time goes by?
Not do nothing, don't even try
You're so cracked up that you might as well die
Every night you just cry
But in your shit you still lie
It's a shame that you rely on that
Free falling down a bottomless hole
This damaged soul whose heart's turned cold
Eighteen but feels so old
Having to make money dancing round a pole
She works in 106
That's a strip joint grimy like the pits
At this point in time, her head's in bits
'Cause she never thought life would end up like this
Now I told you Nadine was crisp
The 106 top bitch getting loads of tips
But she spends it on bone and sniff
And E's and trips, always getting pissed
It's getting worse than a bad habit
It's self-damage, her body can't hack it
With all this shit in her system
It won't be too long before she ends up an addict
What you gonna do? Sit back and get high and
Waste away as time goes by?
Not do nothing, don't even try
You're so cracked up that you might as well die
Every night you just cry
But in your shit you still lie
It's a shame that you rely on that to get by
What you gonna do? Sit back and get high and
Waste away as time goes by?
Not do nothing, don't even try
You're so cracked up that you might as well die
Every night you just cry
But in your shit you still lie
It's a shame that you rely on that
Once she was weak but now she's tough
And all this money just ain't enough
Her heart is hurting 'cause her life was rough
I suppose all this has just been too much
Strings of boyfriends and one night stands
But still thinks about her Jack
'Cause this was her first love, it hurt her bad
Now she's clearing her head with crack
She's a party girl on the town all the time
Getting drunk, getting high, snuffing a line
Every other week with a different guy
Trying to disguise the pain inside
What she's going through, no one knows
And it don't end here as the story goes
She puts on a smile, keeps herself closed
Every day sniffing cocaine up her nose
Now her good looks are fading
Too many drugs so her face is changing
So skinny, see her cheekbones shaking
When she wakes up in the morning craving
Late to work and run out of chances
Now she's been fired and no longer dances
Run out of friends, run out of answers
Only with that crack pipe she romances
Rock bottom, she's on the game
Sleeping with strangers for a small change
Lost her pride and lost her shame
Another victim of crack cocaine
Life will never be the same
The truth is she's only got herself to blame
Think about this, use your brain
Or this street queen look what became
What you gonna do? Sit back and get high and
Waste away as time goes by?
Not do nothing, don't even try
You're so cracked up that you might as well die
Every night you just cry
But in your shit you still lie
It's a shame that you rely on that to get by
What you gonna do? Sit back and get high and
Waste away as time goes by?
Not do nothing, don't even try
You're so cracked up that you might as well die
Every night you just cry
But in your shit you still lie
It's a shame that you rely on that
You're gonna get yourself through this, innit?
Yeah, come on
It's not gonna end up like this, you know
I am through this, I am through this
I found the strength within me and I am through this
You can't just sit there, man
You've gotta keep moving on
You've gotta keep moving on
You've gotta just get off
Get up off the arse and get on your feet and
Keep going and don't get lost in the maze
Do you know what I mean?
Yeah, you find the strength in you
And other people will see that strength in you
And take you forward
That's what I'm saying, that's what I'm saying, that's what I'm saying
