  • In here my Brixton briefcase (yea)
    From across the pond
    London's burning (yea)
    But the beat goes on

    Feel my power (power)
    The electric life
    Real rude boys (yea)
    On the town tonight

    We don't need no fighting
    All these beautiful birds around
    The liquor charge like lightning
    As soon as the sun goes down

    Turn it on
    Hey!
    Oh, turn it on
    Hey!

    Turn it on
    Hey!
    Oh, turn it on
    Hey!

    I got a Brixton briefcase (yea)
    Ministry of Sound
    The walls between us
    We gon' tear them down

    It's a Brixton briefcase (briefcase)
    Is that such a sin?
    Blokes get batoned
    They get a Chelsea grin

    Girl do your dance for me glorious
    Smile and sing along
    Shake your ass for me, mama
    They're playin' your favorite song

    Turn it on
    Hey!
    Oh, turn it on
    Hey!

    Turn it on
    Hey!
    Oh, turn it on
    Hey!

    All along from records
    Nothing's solved
    Turn it up louder
    Tell Old Bill fuck off

    All my feelings
    All my friends
    Had to ride that train
    All the way to the ends

    All of you and not your neighbor
    Pretending to be posh
    Baby, the music can save us
    Only a wanker was searching for

    Get it on
    Hey!
    Get, get it on
    Hey!

    Turn it on
    Oh, turn it on
    Hey!

    I got a Brixton briefcase
    Feel my power
    Got a Brixton briefcase
    Feel my power Writer/s: CEE GREEN, RICK NOWELS, SAUL MILTON, WILL KENNARD
