Music When The Lights Go Out

Coeur De Pirate

(originally by Pete Doherty)

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 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.

Won't you please forgive me?

I no longer hear the music

Oh 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 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

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 is 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 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,

Oh won't you please forgive me

I no longer hear the music

Oh no no no no no

I no longer hear the music

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

I no longer hear the music

Oh no no no no no

I no longer hear the music.
