Hackney Wick

Kinda wanna wait till it drops

You know those nights that aren't planned

Like you rush home from work, shower, eat, makeup

Jam to your tunes, have a drink

Get a little waved

I'm running late but I still have time

Take some pictures, walk fast, music's blasting

bump into an old school friend

Tap my card, elevator, train

Four stops to Hackney Wick

We meet outside colours

We have a drink on the canal

The sun's just set

It's 10pm

Pinks turn to dark blue to grey and glow

The moon is reflecting all pretty on the water

You're looking so fit

We call it dressing down

It's wearing as little clothes as possible, I wrap my coat around your shoulders

There's this mad energy in east tonight

Why does the city get me so well?

That's when we head to the warehouse

I hear the bass, the music and I succumb

We drink and we dance, and then we just have a fucking good time

And then there's this other party

Back to a friend's just down the canal

She lives off my old street in Bow

Three minutes from Vicky Park

We break into the park and we just run

And I'm laughing so hard

That I fall to the floor

You lay next to me

And I start to trip

The stars

They're moulding into spaceships

like aliens snogging in the clouds

It's sexy

You're so hot, we start to kiss

Your lips feel so good

And I remember we've got another party so we're back

Baby's DJing

And the room pulses

Pulses so hard

Take me right back, we're in Hackney Wick

Take my heart, spent my youth right here

Take me right back, we're in Hackney Wick

All the love, all the energy

Take me right back, we're in Hackney Wick

Take my heart, spent my youth right here

Take me right back, we're in Hackney Wick

All the love, all the energy
