I’da Called You Woody, Joe

Lyrics

[Verse 1] I was crawling around in my head in the haze of a trance 'Til Rico said, "I'ma turn you onto a sound Cool out your head This is the sound from Camden town." [Pre-Chorus] 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 blue beat Tellin' me "He's only looking for fun" [Chorus] 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." [Verse 2] 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" [Pre-Chorus] And I never got to tell him so I just wrote it down I wrapped a couple chords around it then I let it come out When the walls of my bedroom trembled around me This ramshackle voice over attack of a blue beat And a girl, on the excitement gang [Chorus] 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." [Outro] That was the sound I hear the sound Do you hear the sound? I hear the sound Of the very last gang in town
