Libertines - Death On The Stairs lyrics

rate me

From way far across the sea

Came an Arbitran maiden she

Had a one track mind and eyes for me

Half blinded in the war

With a pale young Anglican

Who said he'd help her all he can

Showed her Jesus and his little un-holy friend

She had no notion to please him

Just say 'ta-ra' and leave him behind

There's a little boy in a stairwell who

Says "I hate people like you,

I got match sticks and cable TV

Half of less than 50p"

We all clambered over the balcony

Banging on the window waking Steve,

Bringing with a true love his un-holy friend

Singing if you really need it

You just wont leave it behind

c

Monkey said to the mouse before

If she loved any body more than he

It turns you into stone now

I'm reversing down a lonely street

Cheap hotel where I can meet the past

Play it off and keep it sweet

It's sweet like nothing oh

It's just like nothing at all

Seeing you there

How could I help but stare

It rips the heart out of your baby

Taken far too much to see or think or touch

Whats real stranded on this street

I'll pave my only way home

If you really need it oh

You just won't leave it behind

Please kill me

Oh no don't kill me

Don't bring that ghost round to my door

I don't wanna see them anymore

Please kill me

Oh no don't kill me

Don't bang on about yesterday

You know I wouldn't know about that any way oh no

He got nothing oh

He got nothing at all
