lyrics

I’ll admit I’m just a regular Joe
I never listened to your records
Never attended a show
But when I heard the news on the radio
I swear I heard something calling within

So I listened and found that you had
The voice of an angel and the talent of a ghost
So why did you let it slide?
C’est magnifique body
Became a corpse in disguise

They took away your innocence at 17
Tore off your sheep’s clothing
And fed it to the wolves
Prima rock star dream
Just a part of their machine

Oh but you weren’t gonna go to rehab
Cos that’s what you’d sung in a song
But you had lost your voice
What kind of ghost had you?
What kind of ghost had you become?

They should have let you dry your tears
They should have let you see blue sky

Now there’s a tattoo on my mind of your love
A lonely horseshoe running wild
All life was drained from your eyes
And there was nowhere safe to hide
Nowhere safe too high…

Amy, Camden Town will never be the same
Camden Town will never be the same…

They should have let you dry your tears
They should have let you see blue sky
