ESSEX LAND Lyrics

[00:03.19] Welcome to Essexland
[00:06.45] There's lots of cash-in-hand
[00:09.24] And this is just one man's story
[00:12.94] So here it goes
[00:13.24] Spending doll at the booky shop
[00:15.44] Done the lot
[00:16.28] Now it's back to noodle pots
[00:18.04] Who's the boss?
[00:18.61] Of profit loss
[00:19.68] Out the front
[00:20.22] St George's cross
[00:21.32] On his land
[00:22.14] Contraband
[00:22.96] Fell off the back of a Luton van
[00:24.57] It's all back hand
[00:25.49] And brickie tans
[00:26.28] I don't expect you to understand
[00:29.52] If you're not from Essex land
[00:35.22] He's an Essex man in an Essex land
[00:38.78] He goes to work where he earns his grand
[00:41.88] And he makes it last all week
[00:44.80] Bills to pay and mouths to feed
[00:48.10] Life is just so fun in Essex land
[00:53.76] (We always slum it right)
[00:54.83] Saving for a Turkey trip
[00:56.36] To bring my hairline back a bit
[00:58.22] Cheaper if I go away
[00:59.85] Get my teeth done in a day
[01:01.65] Lower than the asking price
[01:03.28] Cheap cologne
[01:04.07] And furry dice
[01:04.86] And we do it all to fit in nice
[01:08.08] Some do it just to entice
[01:10.77] In Essex land
[01:13.62] Not me though
[01:15.51] He's an Essex man in an Essex land
[01:19.05] He goes to work where he earns his grand
[01:22.14] And he makes it last all week
[01:25.18] Bills to pay and mouths to feed
[01:28.45] Life is just so fun in Essex land
[01:37.99] He walks the tight rope
[01:40.22] In Essex land
[01:41.28] He never drives slow
[01:43.63] In Essex land
[01:44.68] They call him John Doe
[01:46.95] In Essex land
[01:48.63] He gets what he wants so cheap it's almost free
[01:51.07] In Essex land
[01:54.17] (We always slum it right)
[01:55.35] Double Dutch
[01:56.16] Dip the clutch
[01:57.06] Goodbye thank you very much
[01:58.75] Can you tell
[01:59.56] Here from hell
[02:00.32] I can, different personnel
[02:01.89] Beginners luck
[02:02.83] Tummy tuck
[02:03.75] Corners shop they've all been shut
[02:05.44] Au revoir, So long and fare well
[02:06.98] Another thing that's been and gone
[02:12.44] In Essex land
[02:15.43] Spend the night at the bar
[02:17.04] The pub was full from my memoir
[02:18.70] Standing at the fruit machines
[02:20.48] The bloke behind me looking mean
[02:22.18] Fancy that I'm gonna leave
[02:23.82] Beer is soaking up my sleeve
[02:25.53] Seen somethings you won't believe so it's
[02:28.82] Back to where I'm out of sight
[02:32.11] But where?
[02:32.89] I'll tell you where
[02:34.12] In fucking Essex land
[02:36.03] He's an Essex man in an Essex land
[02:39.67] He goes to work where he earns his grand
[02:42.65] And he makes it last all week
[02:45.62] Bills to pay and mouths to feed
[02:48.92] Life is just so fun in Essex land
[02:54.58] (We always slum it right)
[02:58.59] He walks the tight rope
[03:00.60] In Essex land
[03:01.83] He never drives slow
[03:04.26] In Essex land
[03:05.16] They call him John Doe
[03:07.59] In Essex land
[03:09.02] He gets what he wants so cheap it's almost free
[03:11.78] In Essex land
[03:14.68] (We always slum it right)
[03:15.94]
