19th Floor Songtext
von Joy Crookes

Nineteenth floor

Headed back to where I started
Past the fireflies of Rizla burning bright
Lost the time of where my heart is
Cinnamon skylines, that I don′t recognize
Stripped the life out of streets
It's a daylight robbery
You′ll never take the London out of me

I was raised by the river, nineteenth floor
We never got this high before
We were lost, alone
Look how far we've come
Down by the river, I remember where I belong
Ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh, yeah
I remember where I belong


Nothing same but nothing different
Hear the people cry, concrete lullabies
I never thought I'd say I miss him
See and speaking when I want
Don′t test the waters

I was raised by the river, nineteenth floor
We never got this high before
We were lost, alone
Look how far we′ve come
Down by the river, I remember where I belong

Bopping down Walworth Road, bubblegum blow
Sliders and Sunday clothes
Doing like my nani, 70s steez
Cardamom stay in my teeth
I've seen the things you′ve seen
But you don't speak, you leave the traces
Like I pick up the part, so I hand it down to generations

Raised by the river, nineteenth floor
We never got this high before
We were lost, alone
Look how far we′ve come
Down by the river, I remember where I belong
Ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh, yeah
I remember where I belong


Ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh, yeah
I remember where I belong
