Inner City Pressure Lyrics
Inner city life
Inner city pressure
The concrete world is starting to get you
The city is alive, the city is expanding
Living in the city can be demanding
You pawned everything, everything you owned
Your toothbrush jar and a camera phone
You don't know where you're going
You cross the street, you don't know why you did
You walk back across the street
Standing in the sitting room, totally skint
And your favorite jersey is covered in lint
You want to sit down but you sold your chair
So you just stand there. You just stand there . . .
(YOU JUST STAND THERE!)
Inner
Inner city
Inner city pressure
Counting coins on the counter of the 7/11
From a quarter past six 'til a quarter to seven
The manager, Bevin, starts to abuse me
Hey man, I just want some Muesli
Neon signs, hidden messages
Questions, answers, fetishes
You know you're not in high finance
Considering second-hand underpants
Check your mind, how'd it get so bad?
What happened to those other underpants you had?
Look in your pockets, haven't found a cent yet
Landlord's on your balls, "Have you paid your rent yet?"
Inner
Inner city
Inner city pressure
Inner
Inner city
Inner city pressure
So you think maybe you'll be a prostitute
Just to pay for your lessons, you're learning the flute
Ladies wouldn't pay you very much for this
Looks like you'll never be a concert flutist
You don't measure up to the expectation
When you're unemployed, there's no vacation
No one cares, no one sympathizes
You just stay home and play synthesizers
Inner

You walk back across the street
Standing in the sitting room, totally skint
And your favorite jersey is covered in lint

Definitely a spoof on Pet Shop Boys' West End Girls.
West End Girls? Hm. If anything, I'd rather think it was a spoof on Goldies epic Timeless from the album of the same name- although the likeliness of that might be a bit fleeting. But still; Inner City Liiiife, Inner City presshhaaaah!

I agree 100% shrodes (which means I'm afraid I disagre NightsirK...100% a rip off of West End Girls. I've played the songs straight after each other numerous times.

The verses are basically indentical, they even put on the english accents! The chorus is where it changes a little, but it fits in, except for the last part of West End Girls chorus the fade out "West End Girls"

Great song.
One slight error in the lyrics though.
"Totally stint" should be "Totally skint".
Skint is slang for having no money.
I love this song!
this song is insanely awesome.
soooooo funnnnny
What happened to those other underpants you had?
LOL GENIUS!!!!!!
Does anyone know what "musley" is? Is it some strange NZ slang?
Not slang. It's a common word used in NZ for breakfast cereal.

We also have muesli bars, which is a snack made from similar ingrediants to the breakfast cereal.
