Nothing Here Is Yours

Verse 1

Rain on the council flats

Steam hissing from the iron grate

Lights flicker down the cul-de-sac

Someone's husband coming home too late

Pre-Chorus

And the news says nothing's wrong

But the sirens sing all night long

Chorus

Concrete towers watch the street

Every shadow got two feet

Concrete towers hold the line

Nothing here is yours or mine

Verse 2

Papers piled on the landing

Damp regime of tea and fear

Old man counting at the window

Counting what he never had this year

Pre-Chorus

And the landlord keeps the key

And the stairs are closing in on me

Chorus

Concrete towers watch the street

Every shadow got two feet

Concrete towers hold the line

Nothing here is yours or mine

Bridge

(Nothing here)

(Nothing here is yours)

Cold wind down the alleyway

Cold wind takes what it can find

Every siren sings my name tonight

Every lock is someone's design

Chorus

Concrete towers watch the street

Every shadow got two feet

Concrete towers hold the line

Nothing here is yours or mine

Outro

(Mm)

(Mm-hmm)

(Nothing here)

Nothing here
