- We didn't have no where to live, / we didn't have nowhere to go
'til someone said / "I know this place off Burditt Road."
It was on the fifteenth floor, / it had a board across the door.
It took an hour / to pry it off and get inside. / It smelt as if someone had died;
the living-room was full of flies, / the kitchen sink was blocked,
the bathroom sink not there at all. / Ooh, / it's a mess alright, / yes it's
Mile End. / And now we're living in the sky! / I'd never thought I'd live so
high, / just like Heaven / (if it didn't look like Hell.)
The lift is always full of piss, / the fifth floor landing smells of fish
(not just on Friday, / every single other day.)
Below the kids come out tonight, / they kick a ball and have a fight
and maybe shoot somebody if they lose at pool.
Ooh, / it's a mess alright, / yes it's / Mile End.
[mumbled mutterings... you love it...]
Oo-ooh / Nobody wants to be your friend
'cause you're not from round here, / ooh / as if that was
something to be proud about. / The pearly king of the Isle of Dogs
feels up children in the bogs. / Down by the playing fields,
someone sets a car on fire I guess you have to go right down
before you understand just how, / how low,
how low a human being can go. / Ooh, / it's a mess alright, / yes it's
Mile End. / (don't do that! Leave it out!) / Bababa...
Lalala... - Hudba
Not just on Friday, *every* *single* *other* *day*
I love Jarvis.
Jarvis' song writing is blinding and it's a sign of a good writer when he can relate quite intimately but en masse.For me this song evokes quite poignant memories from when we I was a teenager and we squatted a big old house back in the day when squatters actually had rights and I dare say a lot of people have similar memories as it's a scenario we all likely went through growing up,needing somewhere to chill with your pals.Fantastic song and it was only ever gonna be successful wasn't it?
Reminds me of living in a doss house in Northend and I worked at the port on Mile End road in Portsmouth. Great song. For me Pulp were THE band of the nineties.
not just 90s jack
Was in Mile End for first time yesterday. This song means so much more to me now
I remember trying to return the Rolling Stones Greatest Hits at Mile End Morrisons, so that I could buy a French stick and twelve beers. Ah, heady days.
Thatcher was gone but her legacy lived on in this song!
daaaa, da da, daa, dadada....bub baaaaa, baaa, dadada....👍🏾....thatcher will forever live on so long the masses have no understanding, and now cameron is back who supported guantanomo, saville, Syria and the e.u!....."we didn't have no where to live, we didn't have no where to go.....baaaa ba ba ba bahaa ba ba ba ba ba....coz it's mile end!😅....cameron, war on Syria, peadophile sir saville ignored and rejection of e.u forgotten...democracy..😅😅.🤣🤣🤣
YESSSSS ! BAAAAAAAAD BOYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY !!!!!
Trainspotting 1996 and lived in Plaistow in 2003 passing Mile End on daily commute to the West End. This song was with me all along those days..
Brilliant song, the lyrics crack me up
People who never did drugs or had addictions problems don't get it never will its a terrible life once you stop caring and the changes to you are irreversible but the high is so mighty so inhuman forever will it haunt you I'm clean for 8 years and although the struggle gets easier its ever present
Easy Grin I agree with you. Addiction is a hellish business. There’s a lyric in a Motörhead song ‘it’s gonna steal your face’. Anyone who has had a heroin addiction or speed addiction will know what I mean. Excessive speed use eats your face. Heroin abuse just lets years pass you by in an instant and you look in the mirror one day and don’t recognise the middle aged wanker staring back at you. Drugs really do change you forever. I’ve seen so many of my friends and acquaintances die young as a direct result of opiates such as heroin, methadone and the now discontinued pill palfium (It was a strange drug someone could inject two dissolved pills one day and another day inject half a pill and that half would kill him. Taking that drug was like playing Russian roulette). An old girlfriend of mine had a catastrophic stroke from taking too much speed, she died at the age of seventeen. Once you’ve been deep in that lifestyle and you live long enough to realise you need out. You will be forever haunted, it’s a form of PTSD.
The simplicity of knowing you only have one task in life (dope) is what I miss.
Konig Corvus in that sense it’s one hell of an antidepressant. You only have one care in the world and when that’s fixed everything is good again for six hours or so depending on the quality of the gear. I agree with you. I had one task to see to a day and sure I’d have to see to it sometimes six times (so I had a bag to wake up with), but yeah in many ways life was more simple. But in my town you had to watch for nutters with knives and bars that would pull the old “you’re bag or your life”. Many times I engaged in knife fights or ran like a scalded cat to keep hold of my stuff.
So true. You chase that first high forever. As time goes by your soul is crushed little by little as you kiss goodbye to "normalcy", you sell your morals very quickly, hell, if you could sell your family you would, just for that short term fix.
I'm 4 years clean and every day that calling is echoing through my mind. Any little hiccup through the day and that monkey really looks appealing. It's never the same once you go down that lane.
@@benkeller6027 Hope you find peace Ben - sounds like a hell of a struggle. Congrats on your 4 years clean. Stay strong.
The most accurate portrayal of Tower Hamlets yet :) (I'm allowed to say that living in E2)
Some blogger called Diamond Geezer did an analysis on this cross referencing the lyrics against known tower blocks in the area and concluded that Jarvis squatted in Lewey House. Possibly it could also have been Elmslie Point, which is 19 floors and therefore also has a 15th floor obviously, but Elmslie Point is right on Burdett Road. Lewey House more fits the bill of being "off" Burdett road.
damn i thought that our kitchen was dirty, but after seeing those pictures i change my mind
Whoever did the video should be very pleased. Great work.
"As if that was something to be proud about.."
I spent 2months in a Mile End squat last year (Shelmerdine Close), and was a great experience...
Man this is every council estate in london tbf. Absolutely grim conditions.
this song is even more hilarious with the pictures :D
fab job!
Reminds me of wandering round Park Hill. Beautiful!
This tune made me move to London. =) :D
I bet the flat he's talking about costs around £600 pw.
Probably more now smh
Would that even get you a cardboard box within the M25 these days?
Pulp I love you
London, you're my dream..
its my fave song!
great song
90s were Grunge, but i like Pulp soooooo much!
TSP2 CAN'T WAIT.!!
YYYYEEEEEEEEEESSSSSSSSSSSSSS !!!!!! BAAAAAAAAD BOOOOOYYYYYYYYYYYY !!!!!!!!
Ahaha, this song makes me laugh, and great photos to go with it (eg. 1:00)
Since I'm a fugitive to the law and canny walk the fuukin streets, you go!
Congratulation for the choice of the pictures !!
I want to move house to Mile End. It looks lovely.
East end delicacy 👏🏽👏🏽
The best. It isn’t as bad as the mobile home we have in East LA, but you gotta love the Brits. Loved this movie, except for the scene where he is kicking and sees the creepy baby crawling across the ceiling
Love it! Well done :D
It's Burd'e'tt Road, not Burd'i'tt Road. I live at the East India Dock Road end and it's fine really. Only found this song on my i-pod tonight and had to check out if there was a video, sadly no proper ones. Good song though, classic Pulp:mocking but somehow uplifting...
The estate or estates in these photos look like the locations used in Misfits.
Now in Wapping I spent a good few years in Mile End (Ropery Street, back of the cemetery). It's a shithole, but I made some great friends living there!
sounds like "fun"
sad...really, really sad:))
Now if you want buy a house in mile end you have to be fucking rich. For a victorian house with 3 rooms you can pay 800k...
I lived in Bethgreen..it s just the waiting room of mile end :)
Mr Blue Sky (Pulp remix)
The not making friends because "you're not from 'round 'ere" is because they know that anyone who isn't will leave as soon as they can and never look back
Oh my god the building I live in is on that video! (2.06)
Shaaaame...
Polytechnic!
Just moved to Stratford??? One stop up the central to miiiiiiiiiiiiile end!!
train spottingggg
Pyroman:
YES THEY ARE FROM SHEFFIELD, (LIKE THAT SIXTIES BUFFON CALLED JOE COCKER)BUT THAT DOESN´T MEAN THEY CANNOT WRITE ABOUT LONDON!!!!
@MrsMillwall Mile End means something difrent in this song....
Oh my ! what a lovely neighborhood, I'd love to move in anytime (unless I stop smoking that damn crack!)
This girl I used to sit next to in art class would tell me that everytime she heard Jarvis sing, she'd get jelly in her knickerbockers. I asked, whaddya get when you hear me sing? She laughed and quipped, it rhymes with loo, and has a nasty aroma. I told her, you must mean love bumps, and stong heart beats. She told me to piss off, but leave the Pulp CD. Teenage angst that was, pure n simple.
I like how lived in my towns worst area. To find out how low a human being go.
Give it time, I'm sure they are just waiting for you to look at them the wrong way.
ogni volta pelle d'oca , eterna i love you vy olaf cozx 24 saronno italia
If you are Jarvis Cocker fan check out his wacky thought provoking off the wall 2hr show every Sunday on BBC Radio 6
You wanna live like common people, mate?
my grandad wwas from plumstead not par away n the stories ive heard not much changes!
great video. fits the music. #u*king depressing
I have some pride but I think my shame outweighs it....oh dear...maybe i'll hop out of Bethnal Green at some point....
0:56 "Nonce"
Shoutout to the poor bird in the pink cardie who’s accidentally become famous for this video!
Oh how she's changed.
This IS so true to mile end!
No, but if you want me to be ha ha ha , sorry but that was my reaction when i saw this
laaa laa lala laaa
Doncaster
4:40
5 pound tae win
Bad boy
Yaaaaaasssss!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Cant you go yaself
Well considering I'm a fugitive tae the law an a cannae walk the fookin streets. You go. An buy us some fuckin beer an all
how did that car get to be resting on the frame of a swing?
It's almost 30 years since this song came out, it will be 30 next year. This makes me wonder, 30 years on (or 29 if you want to split hairs) is Mile End still as awful a place as described in this song?
In the Horn of Plenty pub next to Mile End tube some fella got shot for not waiting his turn on the pool table.
-Nice Place
I am from NYC, if I wanted to see Mile End, what would be the exact address I'd have to type into Google maps?
park hill in sheffeild yeah both the same but i think park hill got tore down and mile end is a much better place nowadays but you no what i love the place when i was grown up and also i think the song common people came from hes time in bow common lane just off burdett rd but tall block it could be lewey house or elmslie point or ennerdale house.
TRAIN SPOTTING
Refined Londoners
baarrp!
Did Mile End improve under the "right to buy" schemes? I haven't been to the UK in 20 years, and I remember the "council estates" in Hendon, the kids there were always angry and wild.
He is, and he fakes it for a bottle o' rough cider.
@kerrstat Lol, well said.
Trainspotting
just like the rezo in rhyl north wales
0.14 muirhouse in Edinburgh
@BalfronTower he's saying your compilation isn't representative of mile end, whether that's true or not iono..
Magdalena.. U can find me here
@MrsMillwall Youre not that frying pan are you?
1:15 is in Muirhouse, Edinburgh!
Where i live. Born n bread
and this is'nt the theme song to "How Clean is your house" because???
Nothing wrong with Mile End... so long as you stay in your car and keep driving N/E.
Don't be so hard on the UK's council flats, housing estates, or whatever they call them. The USA has equally disgusting public housing, and it's disgusting for the same reason as the British counterpart.
@sophiefrost Its in London
@anarquista66 I wouldn't give five stars to the neighborhood though....
muy europeo
Flock of Chavs at 1:08
song??
Why do they even have cleaning supplies? Some gasoline and a match will do...
@ruderkonge1976
It kind of was....
8 miles end !! lmao need a Jarvis n Eminem mashup haha
I've lived there 2 months in 2009!
@MondoBeno Canada too...Toronto in particular since I live in the outskirts.. i think the province downloaded costs or whatever the logistics were, to the city and it cant afford to upkeep the places in addition to being public housing. The houses around town are boarded up with millions in backlog repairs awaiting that will probably never happen. the buildings, some of them, are horrible too. The city is the biggest slum landlord. Ironic. a political hot potato indeed
hahahahaa
nvm...
