Towerblock - Intellectual

[Intro]

They’re knocking down my tower block - the place where I grew up

When the walls start falling, I’m gonna be ready

My estately home, cold fingers risen from the land

I grew up, life on stone, in the palm of your toughened hand

They’re all gone, gone, gone, gone, gone, gone

The height lines on my bedroom door

They’re all gone, gone, gone, gone, gone, gone

My soldiers hiding under the floor

They’re all gone, gone, gone, gone, gone, gone

The never ending Monday nights

It's all gone, gone, gone, gone, gone, gone

The sound of Friday stairwell fights

(They're knocking down my...)

They’re knocking down my tower block - the place that I come from

When the walls are falling, falling, I’m gonna be ready

They’re knocking down my tower block - the place that I ran from

When this all means nothing, nothing, I’m gonna be ready

There is glass on the carpet, there is dust in the air

All this deafening wonder, but I wish that you were here

This space was a battleground, this place was a war

You beat me - now I beat you, as they tear it to the floor

I’m the only survivor of a life I’ve never known

There’ll be nothing left of your devastation - they're tearing down your home

They’re knocking down my tower block - the place that I come from

When the shades come knocking, kicking, I’m gonna be ready

(It's all gone, gone, gone, gone, gone, gone)

They’re knocking down my tower block - the place that I ran from

(It's all gone, gone, gone, gone, gone, gone)

Now the walls are falling, falling, I’m gonna be happy

(It's all gone, gone, gone, gone, gone, gone)

They’re knocking down my tower block

(It's all gone, gone, gone, gone, gone, gone)

They’re knocking down my tower block, yeah
