A Ballad of Camden Town

I walked with you on pleasant streets Long years back In a worn-out suit In trousers tight and Chelsea Boots we spent the days out on the loose Owned the streets like that And bright young things were everywhere Didn't have a care no Neither did we It's been a long time now Remembering those crazy nights The heartache and the drugs that came along English summer rain Oh, I caught you right there at our peak Or close by When you sleep I relive it inside your thoughts I might just make it right this time round, baby But I'm in a lonely place I rewind the past through heady tapes Thin reels of happiness, long, long gone Now the memories float by You were spraying stardust in my face I never thought we'd fall from grace Like we did back then Cause even though we had our fights We ruled the clubs and danced in the lights With shimmering crowns You're my special friend Piercing eyes and noble skin I promise to return to you someday With a can of Red Stripe I think of you and summer air And wine we drank down by the market fair Saw you nevermore I dream you dwell in London still A silent rose on Primrose Hill Or in the back of my mind I've lived alone most of my life In solitude like those who died In Camden Town I caught you right there at our peak Close your eyes When you sleep I relive it inside your thoughts I might just make it right this time round, baby What became of us?
