Camden Town Lyrics

I wore my favouite leather camel jacket
You held my hand so tightly in my pocket
We jumped the train tracks and smoked cigarettes in Camden Town
In Camden Town
We ran the streets
We walked through outdoor markets
You lost your bus pass
I gave you my locket
We split a can of Shandy in the swamp in Camden Town
In Camden Town

I think you gave me my first French kiss
As I recall I didn't really like it
You made me a crown out of a daisy chain and pledged your love to me again and again
And again
And again in Camden Town
In Camden Town
You got a fake tattoo of skull and cross bones
We bought a 10 quid bag of magic mushrooms
We at our fish and chips under the bridge in Camden Town
In Camden Town

We stole a key chain from a German tourist
I showed my scars
You showed me all your card tricks
We carved our names in a graffiti wall in Camden Town
In Camden Town
I think you gave me my first French kiss
As I recall I really think I liked it
You gave me a ring from a bubblegum machine and promised one day you would marry me
Marry me
Marry me
Marry me in Camden Town
In Camden Town

My brother told on me when I got back home
My mother said it's not where nice girls should go
And I got banned until all kingdom come from Camden Town
From Camden Town
From Camden Town
From Camden Town
