Slumville Sunrise Lyrics

The wind is beating on my window. I haven't slept all night.
That drum just keeps on banging.
They must be buzzing in the mind, bees in the hive
Tell me when the morning arrives.
This place is just not for me I say it all the time.
My friends they just ignore me.
Tell me never mind, waiting on your line for the Slumville Sunrise.

Slumville Sunrise.
Nobody cares or looks twice.
Shout away in the morning across this place where I was born in.
Every roof, every flower illuminated by the morning.

My face upon the concrete, the dirt is in my mouth.
I clench my fist and feet. I try to cry out loud.
Make a sound, somethin' is keepin' me down.
This place is just not for me
I'll say it a thousand times
My friends they just ignore me. Tell me never mind
Waiting on your line for the Slumville Sunrise.

Slumville Sunrise
Nobody cares or looks twice.
Shout away in the morning across this place where I was born in.
Every roof, every flower illuminated by the morning.

This place is just not for me
I say it all the time
My friends they just ignore me. Tell me never mind.
Waiting on your line for the Slumville Sunrise.

Slumville Sunrise.
Nobody cares or looks twice.
Shout away in the morning across this place where I was born in.
Every roof, every flower illuminated by the morning.
Every roof, every flower illuminated by the morning.

Slumville Sunrise

This song finds Bugg thinking back to his childhood on Nottingham's Clifton Estate. It was released as the second single from the Rick Rubin produced Shangri La set. "'Slumville Sunrise' is the first track I wrote for the album," Bugg told NME. "It's kind of one last look back to where I came from."

The heist movie themed video was helmed by Shane Meadows and co-stars Andrew Shim from the director's This Is England film in full Elvis gear. Bugg makes his acting debut in two scenes that frame the song.
