Inner City Pressure
Flight Of The Conchords
Series One - Episode Two - Bret Gives Up The Dream
Inner city life, inner city pressure
The concrete world is starting to get ya
The city is alive, the city is expanding,
Living in the city can be demanding,
You've pawned everything, everything you own,
Your toothbrush, jar, and a camera phone
You don't know where you're going
You cross the street
You don't know why you did,
You walk back across the street.
Standing in the sitting room, totally skint
And your favorite jersey is covered in lint
You want to sit down, but you sold your chair
So you just stand there
You just stand there
You just stand there
Inner
Inner city
Inner city pressure
Inner city pressure
Counting coins on the counter of the 7-11,
From a quarter past six 'til a quarter to seven,
The manager Bevan starts to abuse me
Hey man, I just want some Muesli,
Neon signs, hidden messages,
Questions, answers, fetishes,
You know you're not in high finance,
Considering second hand underpants,
Check your mind, how'd it get so bad?
What happened to those other underpants you had,
Look in your pockets, haven't found a cent yet,
Landlords on your balls, have you paid your rent yet?
Inner
Inner city
Inner city pressure
Inner city pressure
So you think maybe you'll be a prostitute,
Just to pay for your lessons, you're learning the flute,
The ladies won't pay you very much for this,
Looks like you'll never be a concert flautist,
You don't measure up to the expectation
When you're unemployed there's no vacation
No one cares, no one sympathizes
You just stay home and play synthesizers.
Inner
Inner city
Inner city pressure
Inner city pressure

Inner city
Inner city pressure
Inner city pressure

That's the origin story of many musicians, so it kind of makes sense. Poor living, but at least they have their guitar.

I was homeless during covid. I had my Behringer Model D, an RD6, and a Rockband midi keytar in a 5 gal bucket. I jammed at the campground.
"the manager, bevan, starts to abuse me. Hey man, i just want some muesli" best line ever haha

Now that you’ve had 9 years to think about it wouldn’t you agree the best line is actually “counting coins on the counter of the seven eleven from a quarter past six till a quarter to seven”?

"What happened to those other underpants you had?" This is the best line ever in a song!
i like the album version with the extra lines "what are you searching for hidden treasure? all you'll find is inner city pressure... you've lost perspective like a picture by Escher, it's the pressure"
you just staaaaand there. I LOVE THIS SONG. these people are my heroes.
I just realized this is a total goof on the Pet Shop Boys, 'West End Girls' 😂 🤣
In my opinion, this is their best song.

I totally understand. I just need some muesli too.
I don’t remember this one, brilliant as usual! I’m betting this is the only song to ever mention Muesli
West End Girls vibes with this one.

This was the anthem of every Aus/NZr who spent 2 years working holiday in London/NY only to return to a reasonably comfortable life back home.

🔹️ Look out, Pet Shop Boys ❗ Flight of the Conchords rulez 👀👍❕
WHERE THE HELL Y’ALL GO?!!!
Came here after watching Trash Theory's vid on Pet Shop Boys
well he has been to jail
jermaine looks so hardcore 1:15 lol
And West End Girls was released long before this.
But did you ever become a concert flautist Jermaine? ❤
The best Pet Shop Boys rip off ever made.. 😅
Why do I sing this to myself always?
lol black lady at 1:11
One person was clearly feeling too much inner city pressure and clicked the dislike button by mistake. Either that or they have no taste.
Hilarious when jermaine sings "hey man i just want some muesli" Hope they do another series though i think they are leaving it at 2
"we are poor arent we" wake up america
Huh, they looked white to me. You're right, there are only 4.
Jeeezzzzz in maaaahh... oh wait.. This is a different song... My bad..
I listen to this when I hate my life. Then I still hate my life, but a little less.

this sounds a lot like "Jizz in my Pants" by The Lonely Island
Lonely island pretty much copied this, or the other way around 🤔
They are making fun of the same genre of music
