Hackney Wick (String Version)

[Intro]

I kinda wanna wait till it drops

[Verse 1]

You know those nights aren't planned

Like you rush home from work, shower, eat, make up

Jam to your tunes, have a drink

Get a little waved, I'm running late but I still have time

Take some pictures, walk fast, music's blasting

Bump into an old school friend

Tap my card, elevator, train

Four stops to Hackney Wick

[Verse 2]

We meet outside, colours

We have a drink on the canal

The sun's just set, it's 10 p.m

Pink's turned to dark blue, to grey and glow

The moon is reflecting all pretty on the water

We're looking so fit

We call it dressing down

This is wearing as little clothes as possible

I wrap my coat round your shoulders

There's this mad energy in East tonight

Why does the city get me so well?

That's when we head to the warehouse

I hear the bass, the music and I succumb

We drink and we dance and then we just have like fucking good time

And then this is off a party, back to her friends just down the canal

She lives off my old street in Bow, three minutes from Vicki Park

We break into the park and we just run

And I'm laughing so hard that I fall to the floor

You lay next to me and I start to trip

The stars, they're molding into spaceships

Like aliens snogging in the clouds

It's sexy

You're so hot we start to kiss

Your lips feel so good

And I remember we've got another party so we're back

Baby's DJ-ing

And the room pulses

And the room pulses

[Bridge]

And it pulses

Pulses so fucking hard

[Verse 3]

Take me right back to Hackney Wick

Take my heart to my youth right here

Take me right back to Hackney Wick

All the love, all the energy (Energy, energy, energy, energy, energy)

Take me right back to Hackney Wick

Take my heart to my youth right here

Take me right back to Hackney Wick

All the love, all the energy (Energy, energy, energy, energy, energy)

[Outro]

Hackney Wick

Right back

It was always happening

Still feel just like yesterday

Take me right back to Hackney Wick, Hackney Wick, Hackney Wick, Hackney Wick

Hackney Wick, Hackney Wick, Hackney Wick, Hackney Wick

Still feel just like yesterday

Still feel just like yesterday
