Following Camden Down Lyrics

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 meet 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

[Chorus]

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 streets all wet
Looks like their 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 meet the band tonight

[Chorus]

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

how could no one have commented on this song! its so beautiful, typical young love that makes it seem like nothing else even exists or matters. It also has an air of apprehension, like they know that this will all end soon when they mature and grow up. "And we are so naive to think we believe this is right" Straight memories of being young drunk and stupid, but how perfect and beautiful that can be

"You're OK You've got your head screwed on right We are holding hands to meet the band tonight" amazing.
