Jaywick is a seaside village in the Tendring district of Essex, England, 2 miles (3.2 km) west of Clacton-on-Sea. It lies on the North Sea coast of England, 60 miles (97 km) from London and 17 miles (27 km) from Colchester. It was constructed in the 1930s as a holiday resort for Londoners, but over time has become one of the most deprived areas in the country.
The land was originally a combination of fields and salt marshes, and was generally impractical for agricultural use. It was purchased by the entrepreneur Frank Stedman in 1928 to provide low cost and affordable holiday homes to working-class families, and became a popular holiday destination throughout the 1930s. After the Second World War, a shortage of housing meant the properties gradually became permanently inhabited despite being unsuitable for this purpose. The local community resisted demolition of the worst estates, and the government tightly controlled building regulations in the village while attempting to rehouse residents elsewhere.

Uh, me and the boys were gonna go for a ride, downtown or
Something. You wanna come?

VERSE ONE:
Come and take a ride with me
It's time to leave your worries behind
Take a little time at the wheel

Listen what I say
Everybody, one two three, take a ride with me, c'mon

Run away from the world behind you

Up ahead is where your cares won't find you
You gotta go where your soul is free
