Come Back To Camden Lyrics
There is something I wanted to tell you
It's so funny you'll kill yourself laughing
But then I, I look around
And I remember that I am alone
Alone
For evermore
The tile yard all along the railings
Up a discolored dark brown staircase
Here you'll find, despair and I
Calling to you with what's left of my heart
My heart
For evermore
Drinking tea with the taste of the Thames
Sullenly on a chair on the pavement
Here you'll find, my thoughts and I
And here is the very last plea from my heart
My heart
For evermore
Where taxi drivers never stop talking
Under slate grey Victorian sky,
Here you will find, despair and I
And here I am every last inch of me is yours,
Yours
For evermore
Your leg came to rest against mine
Then you lounged with knees up and apart
And me and my heart, we knew
We just knew
For evermore
Where taxi drivers never stop talking
Under slate grey Victorian sky
Here you'll find, my heart and I
And still we say come back
Come back to Camden
And I will be good, I will be good, our love is real, I'll be gone
It's so funny you'll kill yourself laughing
But then I, I look around
And I remember that I am alone
Alone
For evermore
Up a discolored dark brown staircase
Here you'll find, despair and I
Calling to you with what's left of my heart
My heart
For evermore
Sullenly on a chair on the pavement
Here you'll find, my thoughts and I
And here is the very last plea from my heart
My heart
For evermore
Under slate grey Victorian sky,
Here you will find, despair and I
And here I am every last inch of me is yours,
Yours
For evermore
Then you lounged with knees up and apart
And me and my heart, we knew
We just knew
For evermore
Under slate grey Victorian sky
Here you'll find, my heart and I
And still we say come back
Come back to Camden
And I will be good, I will be good, our love is real, I'll be gone

Moz has clearly spent too long in the USA if he's musing over our grey skies!
What makes people think that the song is about a man? It could just as easily be about a woman.
@sp0kk es que tienen una visión de Moz gay que se niegan dejar ir, este album you are the quarry, está muy influenciado por su novia de ese entonces Tina y la menciona en los creditos del album. Él menciona que junto a ella maduró, se sintió en paz, feliz y hasta planeó tener hijos

Who cares if it's about a man or a woman. It's about heartbreak. And coming to terms with accepting it.
Hi, I listened to this song once when I was in London and everytime I hear it now, I get some kind of pavlov's reaction which makes me want to go to London so badly.... Is that strange? ;)
I often think that this is Morrissey, who is often criticized for living abroad, sarcastically asking us why on Earth he would come back to live in London, where taxi drivers never stop talking, under slate grey Victorian sky, where we would find a Morrissey who would only offer us despair.
I'm encouraged to think this by the last paragraph, where he mentions the irritating taxi drivers, the depressing weather, and STILL we say come back? He is incredulous. I don't think he's gushing about Camden here.
"under slate grey victorian sky" - so Camden i really like it there
i found this: http://www.theunderworldcamden.co.uk/ no mention of morrisey in the frontpage...
America does that to you. I spent two weeks there... And I was already missing our weather.
Still, this has a very vendy, romantic feel to it. I just love the way this song unfolds, it's so tragic.
Wonderful song..
Your leg came to rest against mine, Then you lounged with knees up and apart And me and my heart, we knew, We just knew, For evermore
How he explains his homosexulity if we are to believe he is gay, beautiful lyrics
Do I detect a hint of suicide or one's mortality there at the end? Not unlike 'Sing me to sleep'
