songs with Camden Town in the lyrics

There must be hundreds. I'll start with:

1. Come Back To Camden - Morrissey

2. One by Suggs.

3. Charles Bukowski Is Dead - Boo Radleys (Gotta get out of these smoky clothes/Rid myself of this Camden filth)

I don't think there's 'hundreds', be lucky to get past 20 I reckons.

4. Sorted for Es and Wizz - Pulp (Bought the tickets from some f***ed up bloke in Camden Town) (favorite lyric)

Well, maybe not hundreds, but surely a lot more than 20.

5. London Belongs To Me - Saint Etienne ("took a tube to Camden Town")

Also, I bet Suggs has more than "one"!

I wouldn't have thought there'd be all that many

Certainly no Madness tracks that I can think of

A quick google throws up one at least: Shadow of Fear ("I walk through Camden Town in the evening / Strolling silently and hardly breathing")

London Belongs to Me is my favourite song to name check Camden Town by a long chalk and what propmpted me to ask the question. I knew the Suggs and Pulp ones, which I believe were even in the charts at the same time.

My favourite lines from LBTM are:

To the sound of the World of Twist
You lent over and gave me your kiss
It's too warm to even hold hands
But that won't stop us from making plans

"Camden Town" by Tory Suggs is the worst single ever made, especially the bit where he goes "MADNESS in the air."

The Clash - "Gates Of The West"

(favourite is Saint Etienne as already mentioned, albeit by default)

Pogues - London Girl

I suppose this album sleeve, pictured outside Chalk Farm tube, almost counts in its own right.

Dingbod, How could you forget Sparks "This Camden Town Ain't Big Enough for the Both Of Us"?

It's disgraceful, I know.

All I can do is offer, as reparation, "Ghost Camden Town" by the Specials.

Camden town top ranking?

Anal Cunt - "You Live in Camden"

Noel Gay - "Doing the Camden Lurch"

I Quite like that Bunch of Fucking Cunts track

'Camden Town - still a cesspit after all these years (at least 25)'

The B side to the Bunch of Cunts a side above, 'Twat Hatter on fire (at Mornington Crescent)' is almost as moving
