Camden Town Blues Lyrics
I saw you on that stall in Camden Town
You were selling postcards of the past
Your hair is grey though you got it coloured brown
I guess inner beauty can never last
You're a sixties child
No longer running wild
You been tamed with styled
Nostalgia's made you fat
What d'ya think about that?
What d'ya think about that?
Ah come on ya old punks and hippies in your designer shoes
Come sing along to these Camden Town Blues
Been thinkin' 'bout all the places that I've been
And all those people and things that I've seen
But my thoughts were never far away from home
Camden on my mind wherever I roamed
And your reminiscing of ‘Those were the days’
All got lost in the 60’s smoky haze
Of wars and riots and hate and broken glass
I’m so glad those crazy days didn’t last
You're a sixties child
No longer running wild
You been tamed with style
Nostalgia's made you fat
What d'ya think about that?
What d'ya think about that?
Ah come on ya old punks and hippies in your designer shoes
And sing along to these Camden Town Blues
They've bought and forced the poor right outta town
They made it a ghetto for the rich
The new clubs they all belt out the newest sounds
They've built designer flats on our sports pitch
You're a sixties child
No longer running wild
You been tamed with style
Nostalgia's made you fat
What d'ya think about that?
What d'ya think about that?
Ah come on ya old punks and hippies in your designer shoes
Sing along to these Camden Town Blues
Ah come on ya old punks and hippies in your designer shoes
Sing along to these Camden Town Blues
Ah come on ya old punks and hippies in your designer shoes
Sing along to these Camden Town Blues
Sing along to these Camden Town Blues
Sing along to these Camden Town Blues

Camden Market, Londons flippiger Markt von Goa bis Punk
[…] wie sich die Stadt seit der Zeit der Hippies verändert hat. Der Camden Town Blues wird von den Les Paul’s interpretiert. Gibt es etwas Schöneres und Authenitscheres als Einheimische zu Wort kommen zu […]
