lyrics

Walking down on Argyle Street, got my head at my feet.
Got my hands in my pockets, worried who I might meet.
On and over Saltmarket, where there's something in the air.
Baby this is the East End, you better beware.

Baby this is the East End... you better beware.

Gotta get across the river, first I take on The Green.
Seems to go on forever, Palace without a Queen.
Foxes down by the water, the only others that dare.
cos Baby this is the East End, you better beware.

Baby this is the East End... you better beware.

From Tongland to Cumbie, neither better nor worse.
Wobbling over the Blue Bridge, wondering if I'm cursed.
Into the Gorbals, taking care to prepare.
Baby this is the East End, you better beware.

Baby this is the East End ... you better beware.
