19th Floor Lyrics – Joy Crookes
Headed back to where I started
Past the fireflies of Rizla burning bright
Lost the tower where my heart is
Cinema skylines that I don’t recognise
Strip the life out of these streets
It’s a daylight robbery
You’ll never take the London out of me, I was
Raised by the river, 19th floor
But we never got this *** before
We were lost so long, look how far we’ve come
Down by the river
I remember where I belong
I remember where I belong
Nothing same but nothing different
Hear the people cry concrete lullabies
I never thought I’d say I miss it
See it speaking when I walk
Don’t test the waters, I was
Raised by the river, 19th floor
But we never got this *** before
We were lost so long, look how far we’ve come
Down by the river
I remember where I belong
Bopping down Walworth Road, bubblegum blow
Sliders and Sunday clothes
Doing like my Nani, 70s steez
Cardamom stain my teeth
I see the things you’ve seen, but you don’t speak
You’re leaving traces
Like I picked up a parcel handed down through generations
Raised by the river, 19th floor
But we never got this *** before
We were lost so long, look how far we’ve come
Down by the river
I remember where I belong
I remember where I belong
I remember where I belong
