Kids off the Estate - The Reytons

That street lights on and I’m still out

Grew up fast and had no doubt

I’d make it in this godforsaken town

Nintendos came second hand

And Clifton park was Disney land

Oh and we want for nowt

And never get let down

And we stay out till late

The kids off the estate

Mothers had to wait

Cos those boys will be boys

You don’t have to hate

The kids off the estate

Mates after a fate

And they called them Reytons

Jumpers thrown on a patch of dirt

On that corner field in last seasons shirt

Till the windows break but they’re never gonna catch us now

We’ve got quids for the corner shop

But when he turns his back we’re gonna take the lot

And he can run quite fast but he’s never gonna track us down

And we stay out till late

The kids off the estate

Mothers had to wait

Cos those boys will be boys

You don’t have to hate

The kids off the estate

Mates after a fate

And they called them Reytons

UV lights on the council flats

No camera’s work but still hoods and caps

Cos if the cops roll by we’re gonna have to stash the lot

Eight missed calls and you’re late again

You read it’s 12:15 on a 3310

But you don’t go back cos you know they’ll be trouble and war

And we stay out till late

The kids off the estate

Mothers had to wait

Cos those boys will be boys

You don’t have to hate

The kids off the estate

Mates after a fate

And they called them Reytons

That streetlights on and I’m still out

Grew up first and had no doubt

I’d make it in this godforsaken town

Time moves fast and we slow down

Loser dream while chase inbound

Cos we want it all and forever get let down

Still stay out so late

The kids off the estate

Mothers had to wait

Cos those boys will be boys

You don’t have to hate

The kids off the estate

Mates after a fate

And they called us Reytons
