Music When The Lights Go Out

(album: The Libertines - 2004)

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 won't you please forgive me

I no longer hear the music oh 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 won't you please forgive me

I no longer hear the music oh 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 fate in my mind it's all too clear,

Music when the lights come on
The girl I thought I knew has gone,
And with her my heart had disappeared

Well I no longer hear the music oh no no no no

And all the memories of the fights and the nights
And the blue lights all the kites we flew together
I thought they'd fly forever

But all the highs and the lows
And the tos and the fros
They left me dizzy
Oh won't you forgive me

I no longer hear the music
Well, I no longer hear the music babe

I no longer hear the music
When the lights go out
Love goes cold in the shades of doubt
The strange fate in my mind
It's all too clear

Music when the lights come on
The girl I thought I knew has gone
And with her my heart had disappeared

But I no longer hear the music oh no no no no
Well, I no longer hear the music
