I was crawling around in my head in the haze of a trance
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 from 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 blues beat
Tellin´ me "He´s only looking for fun"

And 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, let it out, let it out
You´re doin´ all right."

And I heard it in his chain gang soul
How it wasn´t just the same sad song
Sayin´ "Let it out, let it out, let it out
You´re doin´ all right."

And I carried these songs like a comfort wherever I´d go
And they was there when my summers was high
And 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
This ramshackle voice over attack of a blues beat
And a girl, on the excitement gang

And 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, let it out, let it out
You´re doin´ all right."

And I heard it in his chain gang soul
How it wasn´t just the same sad song
Sayin´, "Let it out, let it out, let it out
You´re doin´ all right."

That was the sound
I hear the sound
Do you hear the sound?
I hear the sound
Of the very last gang in town
