19th Floor Lyrics by Joy Crookes

Skin

2021

[Intro]
Nineteenth floor
[Verse 1]
Headed back to where I started
Past the fireflies of Rizla burning bright
Lost the tower where my heart is
Cinema skylines that I don't recognise
Strip the life out of these streets
It's a daylight robbery
You'll never take the London out of me
[Chorus]
I was raised by the river, nineteenth floor
We never got this high before
We were lost so long, look how far we've come
Down by the river, I remember where I belong
Ooh, I remember where I belong
[Verse 2]
Nothing same but nothing different
Hear the people cry concrete lullabies
I never thought I'd say I miss it
See it speaking when I walk
Don't test the waters
[Chorus]
I was raised by the river, nineteenth floor
We never got this high before
We were lost so long, look how far we've come
Down by the river, I remember where I belong
[Bridge]
Bopping down Walworth Road, bubblegum blow
Sliders and Sunday clothes
Doing like my Nani, 70s steez
Cardamom stain my teeth
I see the things you've seen
But you don't speak, you leave the traces
Like I picked up a parcel handed down through generations
[Chorus]
Raised by the river, nineteenth floor
We never got this high before
We were lost so long, look how far we've come
Down by the river, I remember where I belong
Ooh, I remember where I belong
Ooh, I remember where I belong
