Catford is a district in south London, England, located in the London Borough of Lewisham. It is situated 6.3 miles (10.1 km) south-east of Charing Cross. The area is identified in the London Plan as one of 35 major centres in Greater London.
The 1960s and 70s had a considerable impact on the architecture of Catford. The old Town Hall, 'the Catford Cathedral' of 1875, was replaced by the current Civic Suite in 1968, soon after the merger of the metropolitan boroughs of Lewisham and Deptford. Laurence House, where many of the borough's offices are housed, is on the site of old St Laurence's Church (aka the Catford Cathedral). The brutalist Eros House, which replaced the Lewisham Hippodrome (Catford's music hall designed by the famous theatre architect Frank Matcham) in 1960, is now Grade II listed. Architecture critic Ian Nairn praised Eros House as:
In Rushey Green outside Eros House, the old village hand-pump from the 1850s survives. In 1974 the Catford shopping centre was built by the brutalist architect Owen Luder.
I hate to love you, what more can I say?
Got played from the get go
Like this shit you had me sold on
This time, I let myself control on and wore it out
You front like you're ghetto
But I know that you're not best be backing that bling up
I ain't got game, girl, I got season
It's high time you put your please on and wore it
On and on and on, my head spins around
When you diss my bro's and my ride breaks down
While you hang with your ho's at the club down town
Ghetto life, ghettoverit now, ghettoverit now
You want the thug life
You don't even know that's so '97
I guess, I really wasn't on point
You just played me like a dope joint and burned me out
That fool got the gold tooth and imitation rims
Who pimped out his Prelude
It's high time you dropped the zero
And started flossing with the hero
We can't go on like this for real though this homies
On and on and on, my head spins around
When you diss my bro's and my ride breaks down
While you hang with your ho's at the club down town
Ghetto life, ghettoverit it now, ghettoverit it now
Ghettoverit it now, ghettoverit it now
And all you do, it's just plain wack
So sizzuck, a dizzack and blow
On and on and on, my head spins around
When you diss my bro's and my ride breaks down
While you hang with your ho's at the club downtown
Ghetto life, ghettoverit
On and on and on, my head spins around
When you diss my bro's and my ride breaks down
While you hang with your ho's at the club downtown
This ghetto life, ghettoverit it now, ghettoverit it now
Just ghettoverit it now, ghettoverit it now
