Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Seeking fame and fortune
We walk the streets of London
Lookin' for the crossroads everywhere
Holed up in squats in theater bars
There's a slasher on the Holloway Boulevard
Screaming, monkey, monkey, monkey everywhere
[Verse 2]
Like tin soldiers responding to the call
To Camden we will crawl, one and all
Oh, down to trashing Lordy Lords
By icons, we were lured, one and all
[Verse 3]
Seeking fame and fortune
All they says come on in
I'll meet you in the shadows by Rochester square
The deal was done, the trade was rough
Dublin's down for a double bluff
Dip your quill in your bleedin' heart
Sign there and there and there
[Verse 4]
Like tin soldiers responding to the call
To Camden we will crawl, one and all
Oh, down to trashing Lordy Lords
By icons, we were lured, one and all
[Verse 5]
Mmm, they were those boys
Tell me, what then did they know?
What was it they learned
And where did they go?
Now listen to the voice
Of the city morning air
If you're looking for something
That's never been there
[Verse 6]
If you're seeking fame and fortune
Walking the streets of London
Lookin' for the crossroads everywhere
Hold on to your dreams
However bleak it seems
The world, they may not listen
But the Devil may care
[Verse 7]
Like tin soldiers responding to the call
To Camden we will crawl, one and all
Oh, down to trashing Lordy Lords
By icons, we were lured, one and all
