lyrics

I went to a party in W1
In the heart of the city that they call London
down Great Portland Street to have a little fun
with few spliffs and a bottle of rum
Jungle drums shake the building as we listen to sound
Rhythmic palpatation bass to make your heart pound
Pure dubstep and grime, ears bleed from the treble
The sound of the Devil or the sound of Johnny Rebel ?

Then we hear the police, "we've got you surrounded
Turn that fucking riot down coz' you're not allowed it, you lot just a
Party Gone Wrong"

So they said "turn the sound down and we'll leave you alone,
we've had some complaints but we don't wanna make you go home"
The sergeant in charge used to skank to Roni Size
and shot pills in the '90s so you can't criticise
So they turned the sound down for an hour or so
The vibes was flowing so nice you know
It was us against them, and then we were together
but when the feds pulled out they just turned on eachother
Pure gangs fill the hallway just fuss and fight
A girl caught a beating over a look that wasn't right
Rumours of robbing and stabbing just fly like a kite
and the ghost of Maggie Thatcher is laughing tonight

It was coke, crack and mephedrone was openly sold
to enough of these kids was just fifteen years old
They say have the story has never been told
but the youths they just get so cold, in this
Party Gone Wrong

6 a.m. outside the party in W1
In the heart of the city that they call London
I was wondering where it went so wrong
with this lost generation, children of Babylon
Corrupt bankers and priests, figureheads for the people
Plasma politician, billboard is deceitful
Dropping bombs on the streets till each man is equal,
wrapped up in the sleeping back on the church steeple

And though the road may be steep and the battle be long
and it seems like the walls round us all will never come down
When the time comes I know Yabby You will be singing those bad, bad songs
Till then we've all got to carry on, in this
Party Gone Wrong
