The Libertines - Death On The Stairs

From way far across the sea Came an eritrean 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" Got match sticks & 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 won't leave it behind So baby please kill me Oh baby don't kill me But don't bring that ghost round to my door I don't wanna see him anymore Please kill me Oh baby don't kill me Just don't bang on about yesterday I wouldn't know about that anyway Monkey asked the mouse before If she loved anybody more than he It turns you into stone Now I'm reversing down the lonely street To a cheap hotel where I can meet the past pay it off and keep it sweet It's sweet like nothing no It's just like nothing at all Yes I've seen you there How could I help but stare It rips the heart out of your baby Now I've taken far too much to see Or think or touch what's real I'm stranded on this street which once Paved my only way home You really need it oh You just won't leave it behind Oh please kill me Oh no don't kill me But don't bring that ghost round to my door I don't wanna see him anymore Please kill me Oh no don't kill me But don't go on about yesterday I wouldn't know about that anyway Oh no He got nothing no, he got nothing at all
