Camden Town - Michelle Featherstone

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
