[Verse 1: Pete Doherty]
Seeking fame and fortune
We walk the streets of London
Looking for the crossroads everywhere
Holed up in squats in theatre bars
There’s a slasher on the Holloway boulevard
Screaming: "Monkey, monkey, mon-key everywhere"

[Chorus: Pete Doherty/Carl Barât]
Like tin soldiers responding to the call
To Camden we will crawl
One and all
Oh down to Trash and Lordy Lord
By icons we were lured
One and all

[Verse 2: Carl Barât]
Seeking fame and fortune
Old Nick says: ”come on then, I’ll meet you in the shadows by Rochester square”
The deal was done, the trade was rough
Doubloons down for a double bluff
Dip your quill in your bleeding heart
Sign there and there and there

[Chorus: Peter Doherty/Carl Barât]
Like tin soldiers responding to the call
To Camden we will crawl
One and all
Oh down to Trash and Lordy Lord
By icons we were lured
One and all
