lyrics

Her name is Milly,
Milly aus Bermondsey,
Bermondsey
that used to be
London’s centre
of 19th century Tierhautindustrie,
und so passt es auch irgendwie,
dass Bermondsey
still one of these places is
where you learn
wie man Haut über die Ohren zieht
und wo «fuck» jedem Satz
den Rhythmus gibt.

Her name is Milly,
Milly aus Bermondsey,
Spross einer working class
dynasty,
whose only legacy
was sympathy
for white power,
preference for
white powder,
blind trust
in die Britische Lotterie
and unconditional love
for Millwall FC.

Her name is Milly,
Milly aus Bermondsey,
and where she goes
it smells of Ärger
of cheap Parfüm
and cheeseburger.
No one likes her,
but she doesn’t care,
she never cries
coz Milly weiss,
welcher Wind im Süden weht.
Oh, she knows,
wie verlieren geht.

Milly is really
no conventional beauty,
but the ungekrönte queen
of the Bermondsey scene.
She worked hard
on her career,
broke up school
to play some pool
at the local pub,
to fight,
drink
and screw.

Milly’s Bleibe
ist beileibe
not Victorian.
She lives next
to the tracks
auf schiefer Bahn
between bricks and stacks
in an old caravan.
And in her sleep
she looks like a lamb,
but deep in her chest
ruht even then die Wut auf Gott
und West Ham.

Und wenn Nieselrain
ans Fenster klopft
und Saturday
ein Stück näher rückt,
spürt Milly so etwas wie Glück.
She carefully irons
her dearly-loved Lions
on her hoodie sweater.
Unter der Kapuze
trägt Milly halbe Glatze
und ein dickes Fell.
What she does,
she does it well.

Milly is really
no conventional beauty,
but the ungekrönte queen
of Millwall’s
hooligan scene.
She worked hard
on her career,
broke up school
to play some pool
at the local pub,
to fight,
drink
and screw.

I never knew
how it feels
to be hit
by a she
until she
hit me.

Milly is really
no conventional beauty,
but the ungekrönte queen
of Millwall’s
hooligan scene.
She worked hard
on her career,
broke up school
to play some pool
at the local pub,
to fight,
drink
and screw.
