Kingston Called, They Want Their Lost Youth Back Lyrics

I'm coming down for the weekend
So set me up with yr housemate
The difference between girls who wear leopard skin then
And wear leopard skin now is just shame

O!
We miss the drama
O!
We miss the dancing
We miss the drunks and the crowded smoking terrace

How I'd say I'd take you home
But I'm from Birmingham

And they call and they call and they call and they call
And they call and they call and they call and they call
And they call and they call and they call and they call
And they call and they call and they call and they call
You call

And they call and they call and they call and they call
And they call and they call and they call and they call
And they call and they call and they call and they call
And they call and they call and they call and they call some more
In the time that it takes to finish this song I know you'll only get bored

How I'd say I'd take you home
But I'm from Birmingham

Oh, shame!

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.

"We miss the drugs and the crowded smoking terrace"

also I'm fairly sure it's

"I'd say I'd take ya home, but I'm from Bir-ming-ham" but I may be wrong.
