Rico said: I'ma turn you onto a sound, cool out your head
This is the sound from Camden town
And then I heard it like a shot through my skull to my brain
I felt my fingertips tingle and it started to rain
When the walls of my bedroom were tremblin' around me
This ramshackle voice over attack of a bluesbeat
Tellin' me he's only looking for fun
This was the sound of the very last gang in town
As heard by my wild young heart, like directions on a cold dark night
Sayin': Let it out, you're doin' all right
And I heard it in his chain gang soul
It wasn't just the same sad song
Saying: Let it out, you're doing all right
And I'm doing all right, are you doin' all right?
And I carried these songs like a comfort wherever I'd go
They was there when my summers was high, there when she left me alone
Saying: The soul is hard to find
And I never got to tell him so I just wrote it down
I wrapped a couple chords around it and I let it come out
When the walls of my bedroom trembled around me
To this ramshackle voice over attack of a bluesbeat
And a girl, on the excitement gang
That was the sound of the very last gang in town
That was the sound
I hear the sound
Do you hear the sound
I hear the sound
Of the very last gang in town
