Ninefields A State (Danthecoat Original)

[danthecoat]

Thanks for your comments everyone. I don't know how to put the lyrics in the original post like the other clever lads and lassies do here but here they are for those that are intrigued by them

Ninefields A State
                                                                                   
She was born on the estate round the back to me.
We used to meet up on a Saturday night
I always felt good when she stood in the pub with me.
I never used to let her out of my sight.

Her brother warned me while he stood towered over me
He could control you with his violence and fright.

Her Ex he drank there but he sat with his back to me
All big and massive but his friends were alright.
I Never knew him but then she shared their history
We used to make sure we stayed out of his sight.

Her mum was sexy but her dad had it in for me
We used to hear them on their Friday night fights.

Chorus
Cos this was Ninefields street life that's all we knew
Under these Crimefields streetlights is where we all grew
So full of Minefields at night so make no mistakes
It was the drugs and street fights that made
Ninefields A State.

Once you was with her you were taken as family
They used to keep their circle cosy and tight.
She kept it hidden but it's all coming back to me
We always knew that there was more to this life.

Cos they were fearless with their backlog of infamy
They made their living selling things they had swiped.

Chorus
Cos this was Ninefields street life that's all we knew
Under these Crimefields streetlights is where we all grew
So full of minefields at night so make no mistakes
It was the drugs and street fights that made
Ninefields A State

One day she grabbed my face and stared deep inside of me
She said "I'm pregnant and we must do whats right."
She said she couldn't risk what her dad would do to me
I could've stood my ground but I'm just not that type

She packed our cases,stashed them under her bed
We waited patiently then that night we fled

Chorus

Away from Ninefields street life and all that we knew.
Far from those Crimefields streetlights to find somewhere new.
Escaping minefields at night all the fraudsters and fakes.
Far from the drugs and street fights that made
Ninefields A State

This is a great, tight little rocker Dan - and your friend has some great lead guitar style.

Well done, guys!

EDIT: Woah, just read the lyrics post - that is quite some story!

Anyone who has lived on a tough council estate in the UK can relate to this. Cool lyrically, musically and love the vid. Also love that Union Jack guitar. Well done fellers.

Nice rocker.  The guitar leads are especially great.  I'd bring up the vocals just a bit.  The lyrics tend to get lost at spots.

A catchy indie rocker! Tasty lead guitar riffs, by the way and great job with the video, too. The Union Jack guitar looks soo nice!

Nice to see you're back!
