Brixton Lyrics


Stay-ay-ay, oh-oh-oh, don’t go, oh
Stay-ay-ay, oh-oh-oh, don’t go, oh
Stay-ay-ay, oh-oh-oh, don’t go, oh
Stay-ay-ay

Brick by brick we built this up
It’s such a shame to tear it down
Stone by stone, yeah we made it last,
But maybe love is a careless craft
We were young and afraid to fall
Cause we’d never been in love before
With each tick-tock as the time was passed
Baby, was it built to last?

We don’t got a lot to say,
We don’t got a lot to say now lately
Don’t got a lot to say,
Cause I don’t want to hear you say you’re leaving,
You’re leaving me

If you walk away now
It won’t prove a thing
If you talk to me now
I’d say anything to keep you here with me,
But you just can’t hear when you’re always screaming
There’s only one more thing I really want to say

Just stay-ay-ay, oh-oh-oh, don’t go-oh
Stay-ay-ay, oh-oh-oh, don’t go-oh

Remember when you called me up?
I was on my way to Brixton
You told me I should listen up,
Yeah, you asked if I was listening
You said love’s a game you don’t wanna play
Cause you’ve only got one heart to break
Well the only shot that you’re sure to miss
Is the one that you don’t take

We don’t got a lot to say,
We don’t got a lot to say now lately
Don’t got a lot to say,
Cause I don’t want to hear you say you’re leaving,
You’re leaving me

If you walk away now
It won’t prove a thing
If you talk to me now
I’d say anything to keep you here with me,
But you just can’t hear when you’re always screaming
There’s only one more thing I want to hear you say

Say you’ll always stay
I’ll always keep you by my side
Say you’ll always stay true, always
I will love you till the day I die

If you walk away now
It won’t prove a thing
If you talk to me now
I’ll say anything to keep you here with me,
But you just can’t hear when you’re always screaming
There’s only one more thing I really want to say

Just stay-ay-ay, oh-oh-oh, don’t go, oh
Stay-ay-ay, oh-oh-oh, don’t go, oh

Brixton Song Chart
  • This was penned by Benji Madden in Brixton, London, hence the title. He told The Official Charts website : "I wrote a handful of songs in London that I hated, but when I sent them to Joel he said he really liked it and we turned it into something great."
  • Brixton is a district of South London with a a multi-ethnic community. It was the site of race riots in 1981, after which the Government commissioned a public inquiry. Other references to Brixton in songs include:

    "Barbados" by Typically Tropical (tells the story of a Brixton bus-driver who goes to the tropical island Barbados with 'Coconut Airways' to escape the rain of London).

    "The Guns Of Brixton" by The Clash (written by the group's bass player Paul Simonon, who grew up in Brixton, this deals with law enforcement violence in his hometown).

    "Electric Avenue" by Eddy Grant (titled after the Electric Avenue shopping area in Brixton, which was one of the first streets in the UK to get electric lights).

    "Brixton Briefcase" by Chase & Status (The title is the nickname for a ghetto blaster in the 1980s that people carried on their shoulders, walking around the street listening to music. It was synonymous with London).

    "Uptight Downtown" by La Roux (About the grim reality of the 2011 London riots, which singer Elly Jackson observed in Brixton).

    And we couldn't leave out the fact that David Bowie was born at 40 Stansfield Road, Brixton.
