Over deze songtekst:
Het lied gaat over Kentish town, gelegen in het noorden van Londen. Het was voor haar en haar man, Darrel Higham, een moeilijke periode in haar leven.
Imelda zegt daarover: "I wrote 'Kentish Town Waltz' about when I first came over to London with my husband... It's about struggling but also having a great time if you stick together. It might tie in with even more people now there's been a recession."
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 there and inside And those stews that lasted three days into four And those dreadful 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've 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 the bed That you'd stay in my heart 'til the day I was dead We killed each other then loved in time And laughed 'til we almost cried Yeah, we cried as well when it all went to hell And my heart it broke 'til I swear it died 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 its 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've found Oh, you're good at the things that I'm hopeless at And I noticed what you ignore But it's when I see you're not perfect for me It's then I love you more and more And we stuck with each other with all our might We pulled it together and held real 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've found Ooh, 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've found
