Dead for Love - The Libertines

[00:22.94]Your only rule: Stay alive
[00:29.19]Just keep breathing, you’ll be fine
[00:34.98]And now she’s pulling up out side
[00:40.56]The car lights crawling across the curtain
[00:47.33]So put the gun back on the wall
[00:53.31]Take the suitcase from the wardrobe
[00:59.48]And there’s a dead man on the floor
[01:03.71]He’s not going anywhere
[01:06.14]And you’re moving to the door
[01:11.41]And everything he ever did
[01:14.64]He only ever did for love
[01:17.43]Everything he ever said
[01:21.05]Was only ever said for love
[01:23.66]And now, now he lies dead
[01:27.77]He’s dead for love
[01:29.40]His mind’s at ease
[01:31.03]He sleeps in peace
[01:40.12]Your reflection in her eyes
[01:45.85]You just don’t recognise
[01:51.82]And soon you’ll realize
[01:58.30]This guy’s not going anywhere
[02:04.39]And now he’s done this, he wants more
[02:09.85]Race with the shadows to the door
[02:15.86]A guy like this needs to be shun
[02:21.80]No one was there when the devil rode out before
[02:28.35]And everything he ever did
[02:31.73]He only ever did for love
[02:34.10]Everything he ever said
[02:37.67]He only ever said for love
[02:40.18]And now, now he lies dead
[02:44.32]He’s dead for love
[02:46.20]His mind’s at ease
[02:47.46]He sleeps in peace
[02:53.14]And in the shadows your will walk tall
[02:55.77]And there you’ll stay until you fall
[02:58.71]And when the final hour arrives
[03:01.71]It's only lovers left alive
[03:04.92]Wretched souls and gangsters’ molls
[03:07.78]Beyond the valley of the dolls
[03:10.69]Your story they will never tell
[03:13.59]Because their lips are sealed
[03:17.06]
[03:17.53]And everything you ever did
[03:21.14]You only ever did for love
[03:23.58]And everything you ever said
[03:27.31]You only ever said for love
[03:29.63]And now, now he lies dead
[03:33.85]He’s dead for love
[03:35.53]Your mind’s at ease
[03:36.96]You sleep in peace
[03:41.93]And everything you ever did
[03:45.26]You only ever did for love
[03:47.55]And everything you ever said
[03:51.31]You only ever said for love
[03:53.67]And now, now he lies dead
[03:58.06]He’s dead for love
[03:59.59]Your mind’s at ease
[04:01.07]You sleep in peace
[04:06.85]
[04:20.42](Carl)After a sleepless night the body weakens.
[04:23.43]It grows dear, not one’s own, it’s nobody’s.
[04:28.07]Sluggish, the vein still retain in ache of arrows,
[04:33.37]One smiles to all with a seraph’s ease.
[04:39.97](Pete) ...I melt like a slender candle,
[04:37.03]Then from my bare shoulder
[04:44.25]A black strap slides.
[04:51.25]A black strap slides.
[04:55.07](Carl)Lips glow softly
[04:56.69]the shadow’s more golden
[04:58.49]Under sunken eyes.
[05:00.42]Night has set ablaze
[05:03.09]This most radiance countenance
[05:06.13]- and dark night renders
[05:10.52]But one part of us dark (-the eyes)
