Music When The Lights Go Out

The Libertines

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

And hide what's inside from you



And alarm bells ring

When you say your heart still sings

When you're with me

Oh darling, please forgive me



But 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 darling, please forgive me



But 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

And with her my heart it disappeared



Well I no longer hear the music

Oh no no no no no



And all the memories of the fights and nights

Under blue lights and all the kites

We flew together

Love 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



But I no longer hear the music

Oh no no no no no



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



But I no longer hear the music

Oh no no no no no

And I no longer hear the music
