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
