Sleaford Mods released this rap cover of Pet Shop Boys' début single, West End Girls in aid of homelessness charity Shelter.
[Verse 1]
Sometimes you're better off dead
There’s a gun in your hand, and it's pointing at your head
You think you're mad, too unstable
Kicking in chairs and knocking down tables
In a restaurant in a West End town
Call the police, there's a madman around
Running down underground to a dive bar
In a West End town
[Chorus]
In a West End town, a dead end world
The East End boys and the West End girls
In a West End town, a dead end world
The East End boys and the West End girls
West End girls
West End girls
Yeah
[Verse 2]
Too many shadows, whispering voices
Faces on posters, too many choices
If, when, why, what?
How much havе you got?
Have you got it, do you get it, if so, how often?
And which do you choosе, a hard or soft option?
(How much do you need?)
Yeah, how much do ya need?
[Chorus]
In a West End town, a dead end world
The East End boys and the West End girls
In a West End town, a dead end world
The East End boys and the West End girls
West End girls, yeah
West End girls, yeah
[Interlude]
Uh, yeah
[?]
Uh, yeah
(How much do you need?)
Yeah, how much do ya need?
[Chorus]
In a West End town, a dead end world
The East End boys and the West End girls
In a West End town, a dead end world
The East End boys and the West End girls
West End girls
[Verse 3]
You've got a heart of glass or a heart of stone
Just wait 'til I get you home
We've got no future, we've got no past
Here today, built to last
In every city, in every nation
From Lake Geneva to Finland Station
Yeah
[Chorus]
In a West End town, a dead end world
The East End boys and the West End girls
In a West End town, a dead end world
The East End boys and the West End girls
West End girls
[Outro]
West End boys
West End girls, yeah
West End boys
(How far have you been?)
West End girls
Yeah, West End boys
Yeah
West End girls
Girls
Girls
Girls
Yeah
