Music When the Lights Go Out by The Libertines

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 the 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 no

And all the memories of the pubs and the clubs
And the drugs and the tubs we shared together
Stay with me forever
But all the highs and the lows and the to's and the fro's
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
With her my heart had disappeared
I no longer hear the music
Oh no no

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 to's and the fro's
They left me dizzy
Won't you forgive me?
I no longer hear the music
Well 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 fate in my mind it's all too clear
Music when the lights come on
The girl I thought, I knew has gone
With her my heart had disappeared
I no longer hear the music
Oh no no

I no longer hear the music
