lyrics
Ghettoblaster
Low muffled rumble as the bag man stumbles
Out of bed to the safety of a place where no-one goes
As hotwired hoppers & the blades from the choppers
Cuts the night into ribbons where they’ve all feather light fingers
Secret sound, Secret sound
With the force that would break a horses spirit
A decision was made that would crush communities
To them your just traffic, in the wrong demographic
And there’s no-one wants to wage middle aged, feather light fingers
Secret sound
Secret sound
This is sound of the cold hearted truth
This is sound of the disaffected youth
This is the sound of a mother trying as she slips below the poverty line
This is the sound of the lost and the beat
The broken bones as they crawl along the street
This is the sound you never wanted to meet
The secret sound of the city
Through the weeds & stingers glides the midnight singers
& the sodium dances to the ballad of the employed
The smell of burning tyres in October street fires
Be extinguished by the morning but the smell of rubber lingers
Secret sound, Secret sound
This is chorus of mongrels that bark
A rusty swing in neglected urban park
The midnight laughter of the lost boys that breeds
Fear into the hearts that are dying to leave
This is the wind through the abandoned estates
This is the sound of regeneration fail.
It keeps us lucid but it never abates
The secret sound of the city
Gosh. Someone has shapeshifted into my life.
A testament to incredible songwriting and musicianship by those with mastery of their craft, in my humble opinion.
So grateful for art that gives voice to life's experiences and dreams and all that really matters. This is music that really matters.
have heart, will listen
