Following Camden Down

by Tarkio

on Omnibus (2006)

I'm straight wasted
It's a little alcohol on Sunday
And we are lost and found the Underground tonight

You're OK
Got your head screwed on right
Taking contraband to beat the band tonight

Swim the length of serpentine
To meet you on the Northern Line
You and me following Camden down

Euston Square
Both of us rushing through turnstiles
And we are so naive to think we believe this is right

And you say "I scored"
Buy that shit for a penny more
As we wind and wend through odds and ends tonight

Swim the length of serpentine
To meet you on the Northern Line
You and me following Camden down

Leicester Square has lost its fair
Pigeon painted silver after noon
Unless you've got something better to do
I'm sticking with you
And we'll wander the dark streets of London

The street's all wet
Looks like they're closing up shop early
And all the mods and punks have bought their junk and are home

You're OK
You've got your head screwed on right
We are holding hands to beat the band tonight

Swim the length of serpentine
To meet you on the Northern Line
You and me, me and you, following Camden down
