Mile End - Dead-End Waiting

[Intro: fast sharp riff, immediate attack] [Verse 1: clipped vocal, tense and direct] Same old queue, same dead face Same cold office, same old place Money gone on rent and fare Nothing left and no one cares [Chorus: blunt chant, punk-edged heavy hook] You’re stuck, you’re skint And they’ve got nothing for you Dead-end waiting What the hell are you meant to do? [Verse 2: more urgency, same hard drive] Same old boys by the factory gate Same worn eyes, just killing wait Every week just pulls them through Dead-end days for me and you [Chorus: blunt chant, stronger gang feel] You’re stuck, you’re skint And they’ve got nothing for you Dead-end waiting What the hell are you meant to do? [Bridge: short angry burst] Sign your name, stand in line Watch ’em waste your bloody time Same old rules, same old pain Nothing changes, sod the game! [Guitar break: short fast melodic solo over aggressive riff] [Chorus: final chant, full force] You’re stuck, you’re skint And they’ve got nothing for you Dead-end waiting What the fuck are you meant to do?
