about

Isle of Dogs

lyrics

Not really sure of the rhyming slang
To describe being chased by a teenage gang
Lunchtime, Docklands, on my jogs
Turned the wrong corner in the Isle of Dogs
Malcolm Gladwell on my podcast
You say running I say walk fast!
Suddenly surrounded to my shame
By kids on bikes in the pouring rain
“Oi mate! Where the f**k you going?”
Is that a knife? Push past not slowing
“Down, down you’re going down!”

(And we’re) off to the races
Run like blazes
Tripping over undone laces
Lungs-are-burning
Like napalm deep inside
Split-my-trousers
Running past the council houses
Breathing, heaving
Think it’s time to hide

All teenagers – spawn of Satan!

And as I crouch there in the dark
I watch them ride across the park
On Boris bikes ripped from their station
IC1 and non-Caucasian
Headphones on, feeling numb
About to die in an East-end slum
Trying not to breathe too loud
Or else they’ll know I’ve run to ground
Suddenly one points at me
Greasy hair, bad teeth acne
“Down, down you’re going down!”

All teenagers – spawn of Satan!
