about

The Camden Palais - a famous and notorious venue. (Also previously known as The Camden Theatre, the Camden Hippodrome and the Camden Palace.) You remember the Last Goon Show Ever, right? Now it's Koko. On the big nights the crowd would snake around the corner to the Hope and Anchor pub (now closed and awaiting assimilation into the mother ship). Experience the atmosphere of the Big Night - the anticipation, the excitement, the social awkwardness!

lyrics

Queues go around the corner
Stretching right past the pub
Ticket touts are out prowling
With punters for the nightclub

Shuffling forward slowly
Excitement builds up
Glinting eyes are shining
All are one in hope

Darkness is alluring
Drawing you to the bar
Get some beer for your mates
Shoving will get you far

If you wanted to
You could see right through
Charm is my veneer
Helps to hide the fear

Winning ways I use
Mean I never lose
Keeps the cold at bay
Anxious thoughts away

I've found a way in life
Holds me back from strife
Feeling good right now
Is all I need somehow

The future I don't know
Need a place to go
The person I will be
Drifting through this sea

Support bands always suffer
Not the reason we're there
I like to check them out though
Most of my mates don't care

Pushing is starting to happen
The main band is on stage
Claustrophobia feeling
Excitement is engaged

Jumping and dancing always
Makes me loose myself
Feeling the bass in my ribcage
My currency my wealth

If you wanted to
You could see right through
Charm is my veneer
Helps to hide the fear

Winning ways I use
Mean I never lose
Keeps the cold at bay
Anxious thoughts away

I've found a fix for life
Holds me back from strife
Feeling good right now
Is all I need somehow

The future I don't know
Need a place to go
The person I will be
Drifting through this sea

Feeling part of the body
Altogether in one
Moving, time doesn't matter
Enjoying this sun

Losing yourself in this way
Leaving your woes at the door
Anxiety is not potent
Veneer works all the more

Easy going and happy
Charming the girls around me
Cheeky chappy can flourish
Personality they can see

Dancing and music save me
Taking me where I will go
Hiding under the cover
That way you will not know

I have found a way in life
Holds me back from strife
Feeling good right now
Is all I need somehow
