Dont Like Going Places by The Manor Lyrics
[Verse 1: Jonny Dutch]
I like bein' there in a place that I know
Where everyone knows my name
I like knowin' where I stand, stickin' to a plan
And I don't really like much change
I got a routine similar to Pauline Fowler's
Know what I mean?
I like a chat with the neighbours, a flick through the papers
A snout and a nice cuppa' tea
Yeah I'm talkin' one pound twenty on a patty from Brenda
Youngers rollin' through the ends like Avengers
Drunk Delroy on an eight day bender
Might call Rezzy might go pick a benz up
I go past Watford I pack that passport
Ten years, same four pubs in my bar crawl
Same old row with Raj in the shops
He's a West Ham boy I'm in love with the Arsenal
The grass ain't greener, the puff ain't either
Don't kid yourself
Imma settle down with a bird from boots
You can keep your latino girls
'Cos i like what I know and I fear what I don't
And I ain't on my own
If I wanted an adventure I'd sit in my yard
Watch a bit of Game of Thrones
[Hook]
Don't like
D-d-don't like
Going places
That I've never been before
Don't like
D-d-don't like
Seen so many faces
That I've never seen before
[Verse 2: Danny Graft]
I don't like goin these raves off ends where nobody knows my name
'Cos I like to know where I stand on a night
'Cos if things don't go my way
I might say
"I'm a bit of a boat down these bits
I could take that Richard that he's with"
But I don't, 'cos I know his mate's sister
Bless her, she bought me a Boss shirt from Bicester
I wanna get served, not served up
Fuck going up town, that's murder
If it's cheap, then how can you knock it?
Go Beckenham, I don't put me hand in me pocket
Stop it? Never. No chance. None
I'll be in bridge with me great grandson
And I ain't got two more lines
But fuck it, the raves just done
[Hook]
Don't like
D-d-don't like
Going places
That I've never been before
Don't like
D-d-don't like
Seen so many faces
That I've never seen before
[Verse 3: Scotty Stacks]
Born and bred Lewisham, Indigenous southerner
So when I go out, a bird knows what's in front of her
I've always been a flash little son of a
Bitch, don't say that "I know your kind" 'cos I'm one of a
Only a few round here
That's proud that I live down here
Mate do I sound clear?
Can't tell me Jack like Alice
My first love interest was Crystal Palace
Might go for a meal that's not run of the mill
But then it's straight back to my postcode
Don't like travelling much I'm not Gulliver
Stay wrong side of the river with a couple of
Boats and Chevy's
Chaps with comb-overs ready
Pubs with the coldest bevvies
Keep brick laying with your jackets and snapbacks
I'll be down here cracking rackets in Rascasse
[Outro]
Don't like
D-d-don't like
Going places
That I've never been before
Don't like
D-d-don't like
Seen so many faces
That I've never seen before
Don't like
D-d-don't like
Going places
That I've never been before
Don't like
D-d-don't like
Seen so many faces
That I've never seen before
