The King Blues - Journey to the End of the East End (Acoustic Version)

Journey To The End Of The East End - acoustic version Lyrics: As I walk through these streets I can’t help but Think of the old London Now that Hackney’s gentrifucked It was just the two of us TKB til we die We both said we’d never change Well that was a lie The old flat that we lived in Is now one that we can’t afford But it would tell stories of war If those walls could talk Sometimes there’s too much to mend On our journey to the end To the end of The East End Now I walk without my friend On my journey to the end To the end of The East End Sometimes time can change people From being like blood like brothers Into resembling something more Akin to squabbling lovers Truth is no one escapes time We all outgrew our crew When trees are planted too close To each other they can’t bloom We don’t call each other It’s just how we are But I still ask after you And I’ll love you from afar Sometimes there’s too much to mend On our journey to the end To the end of The East End Now I walk without my friend On my journey to the end To the end of The East End In the end the pride that we treasure Amounts to fuck all The taller the walls we build The harder they will fall Look you were a cunt And I was a cunt But we gave the world An almighty punt That’s how we both Grew up together Honestly it was A fucking pleasure Sometimes there’s too much to mend On our journey to the end To the end of The East End Now I walk without my friend On my journey to the end To the end of The East End I’ve always got a shoulder to lend And some time that I could spend At the end of The East End This is the letter that I send This is the hand that I extend Cos it’s too late when it’s the end --- Video Credits: Directed & Produced by Andrew McKenzie DOP Mark Pullon Location provided by Engine Rooms Studios 2026 Tour Tickets: thekingblues.org Stream A Monkey Could Do That at: Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/artist/1FUnt...
