Braunstone Town

The Braunstone Estate
the rumors they flow
all the poeple says it's a no go
you tell them where your from
and they laugh in your face
they all say avoid that place
you try to explain that it aint that bad
but they wont listen not even a tad.

Poeple says theres stabbings everyday
but you say there rumors
not truth to it okay
but they dont stop talking about old Braunstone Town
they say its not funny not even for a clown.

You say your from their and they want to leave
they want to run for the door
and leave their seat
yap and yap about the rumors
everyones a criminal
even the police
chap why dont you have a look
dont worry you need a book
there just rumors thats all
just dont go over the park anytime sooner.

It's just rumors it aint that bad
it's just like everywhere else
everyones just as sad
yes we have a burnt out car like everyone else
but dont worry we have a dirty old bar aswell.

Sell, Sell, Sell out the back of white vans
all the old slags looking for a tan
tacksuits and shell suits ride on bikes
they all come up to you looking for a light.

Dont worry it's not that bad
just understand everyones a dad
it's just the same as everywhere else
Braunstone Twon aint nothing to blame
poeple are ignorant
yes this is true
but not as bad as you
for not looking for the truth.

It's not that bad i promis
I come from there and i'm ok
I dont wear a tracksuit or have spikey hair
i'm just a lad from Braunstone i'm not that bad at all
i'm just like most of them though
I didnt go to school.

I dont hang out with the idiots though
but i'm just like them
i'm trying to get out too
dont listen to the rumors there all lies
even if i'm trying to get out
i'll look back and sigh
old Braunstone Town the place i was raised
and i'll always be ready for one more chase.
