Chorus 1

lust of the libertines

 is really quite tame

 It rages quite nice here beside you

 and your lust for fame

 well fames such a sinister game, i know

 it could all end this way then

 some things wont be the same

 i'm just a face, and a name on a page

 well i'll be soundly sleeping, i'll be soundly sleeping

 i'll sleep right through that age

Verse

 well i can deal with all the blood on my shoes

and the holes in my soul

 my spirit is tainted all my tears are fainted

 just as long as you

 you dont forget to

 uh-oh-oh

 cut me on the wall

 by the graffiti of all the the things i just couldn't say

shove me up the wall

oh my darling was the kind of loving now

you've left me in the family way again

Verse 2

as verse 1)

the dust on my tambourine

really can be explained

i need to shake it more often

shake away the blame

well fames such a sinister game

oh i know

the taste of goulash in your mouth as you stumble off stage

forget-me-nots bloom on this day then

but they wither with age

Chorus

Outro
