Protected fae eh scheme

{fast ticking high-hats, distant police siren,

rapid breath} Yeah, yeah

From the cobblestones of Bank Street We look down on the scheme (skrrt)

Nice house, big garden,

safe behind the wall

While the kids down in Bourtreehill take the fall Protected from the

chaos on the Bank Street hill But we heard the sirens call,

loud and chill (raaa) {snare drum rolls,

rapid rimshots}

{insane beat drop, explosive 808 sub,

rapid-fire percussion solo, vocal panting} (hahaha) (boom-clack-boom) {triple-time hi-hat

rolls}

Irvine, Irvine, safe inside the

bubble

Irvine, Irvine, looking down on trouble

Bank Street elite, far from the scheme Living

out a sheltered, quiet dream (yeah) {heavy bass kicks} Staring out the

window of my warm bedroom

Watching kids in the alleyway deal with the gloom

I had the safety,

I had the space But you can't ignore the shadow on this

harbor place (ahhhh)

{fast ticking hats, woodblock clicks} {massive drum break,

heavy classic breaks, scratching sound,

deep vocal grunts} (uh!) (go,

go, go) {pounding double-kick pattern} {beat slows

down, smooth rhodes electric piano enters,

drums fade to soft click} Looking back at Bank Street

now Safe and warm,

but

I wonder how (hummmm) {distant vinyl crackle}
