I'da Called You Woody, Joe

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." 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" 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 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 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
