Imelda May feat. Lou Reed - Kentish Town Waltz

Do you remember we traipsed around

From pub to pound shop through Kentish Town

Only a fiver to our name,

The drunk on the doorstep had more to our shame

Living over the offy had its trials

The fights all night out here and inside

And those stews that lasted three days into four

And the dreaded bailiffs’ return to our door

But we stuck with each other with all our might

We pulled it together and held on tight

And I’m glad for us, yeah I’m glad mo chroi

But it’s nothing to anyone ‘cept you and me

There are wrongs for every right, there’s ups and there’s downs

But you’re the one for all my life

My true love I have found, yeah you my love I found

I watched the moon cover the might of the sun

That weird evening light at a quarter past one

And I knew in my head as you lay in our bed

That you’d stay in my heart till the day I was dead

We killed each other then loved in time

And laughed till we almost cried

Yeah we cried as well when it all went to hell

And my heart it broke till I swear it died

Oh you’re good at the things that I’m hopeless at

And I notice what you ignore

But it’s when I see you’re not perfect for me

It’s then I love you more and more
