Name: Stand Back
Duration: P00H03M50S
Description: London. The wealth trickles out from the centre and sets property prices alight. The “edginess” of Camden becomes a commodity, blunted upon purchase. But those well-off, thirty-something gentrifiers insist on imagining themselves part of the Culture. What culture? They've missed it, like yachts passing in the night and leaving no trace but the erosion of their wake.

London. The wealth trickles out from the centre and sets property prices alight. The “edginess” of Camden becomes a commodity, blunted upon purchase.

lyrics

Warm
We wake together
The day expects
Behind the curtain

This story is
Of a world where
Fear is banished
Happiness certain

Self gratification
Is every person's dream
But it comes with
Wealth and privilege
And inheritance is the key

We have the chances
That you never did
To squander and to misuse
However we see fit

I might not be so obvious
Here in Camden Town
The headless little rich kid
In whose pocket is a crown

But here I'm masquerading
Slumming with my poshing best
Does it matter we don't know life
Simply drain it from the rest

We're here whilst we want
Spaffing money up the wall
One thing to be sure of is that
We won't fall

I have a flat in
Kentish Town now
Walk down the hill
To where it happens

The buzz I get
Is most uplifting
I dress right down
And cruise the taverns

And when you see me
You would never guess
That I am a rich man
And I couldn't care less

We have the chances
That you never did
To squander and to misuse
However we see fit

I might not be so obvious
Here in Camden Town
The headless little rich kid
In whose pocket is a crown

But here I'm masquerading
Slumming with my poshing best
Does it matter we don't know life
Simply drain it from the rest

We're here whilst we want
Spaffing money up the wall
One thing to be sure of is that
We will never fall

Stand back mere plebs

We will never fall
