The Libertines - Music When the Lights Go Out

Well is it cruel or kind

Not to speak my mind

And to lie to you

Rather than hurt you

Well, I’ll confess all of my sins

After several large gins

But still I’ll hide from you

Hide what’s inside from you

And alarm bells ring

When you say your heart still sings

When you’re with me

Oh wont you please forgive me

I no longer hear the music

Oh no no no no no

And all the memories of the pubs

And the clubs and the drugs and the tubs

We shared together

Will stay with me forever

But all the highs and the lows

And the tos and the fros

They left me dizzy

Oh wont you please forgive me

I no longer hear the music

Oh no no no no no

Well I no longer hear the music when the lights go out

Love goes cold in the shades of doubt

The strange face in my mind is all too clear

Music when the lights come on

The girl I thought I knew has gone

With her my heart it disappeared

I no longer hear the music

Oh no no no no no

All the memories of the fights and nights

Under blue lights and all the kites

We flew together

I thought they’ll fly forever

But all the highs and the lows

And the tos and the fros

They left me dizzy

Oh won’t you please forgive me

I no longer hear the music

I no longer hear the music

I no longer hear the Music when the lights go out

Love goes cold in the shades of doubt

The strange face in my mind is all too clear

Music when the lights come on

The girl I thought I knew has gone

And with her my heart it disappeared

I no longer hear the music

Oh no no no no no

I no longer hear the music
