lyrics

Queen of the Boogaloo
So it’s goodbye to the Queen of Camden Town
Who finally went from mainstream to underground
And it’s always sad when youngsters leave the world
Be they by royal appointment or checkout girls
And as the stories like the storm clouds gather pace
More fierce than the dragons that you chased
And as the media crows it’s the kids now we must save
Whilst failing to acknowledge that some kids were built to misbehave
But as we glamourise the glitter and the glue
There are those that’ll fall between the cracks and there’s nothing we can do

So it’s goodbye to the Queen of Camden Town
Who went from back to black to blue to brown
And her lovers they will never be the same
That’s the cost of loving, that’s the price of fame
And her fans they will take comfort in the myth
As tragedy stalks the tenements and the houses of the rich
And when those Camden kids you spawned are out at play
With their booze and their tattoos they’re gonna’ keep the adult world at bay

And as the rainclouds bring the summer to a close
Proof the world keep turning I suppose
So it’s goodbye to the Queen of the Boogaloo
‘cos when you’re down and out, you can always sing the blues

(Caulfield)
