night of the hunter

The Libertines

Love and hate
Tattoed on the knuckles around the handles of a blade
On the knuckles round the handles of a blade
A bloody blade

Now here it comes
All the flashing lights and sirens
You know it won't be long
Time for the radio
To play your last song
Your last song

I'm just calling to tell you baby
That they're taking me away for a while
Well don't blame me
It's the world that made me
And they're taking me away for a
Taking me away for a...

Here they come
Flashing lights and sirens
You know they won't be long
Just time to phone the missus
And tell her what you've done
Now you've done wrong

They're taking me away for a while
Ah you can't blame me
It's this world that's made me
Now they're taking me away for a
Taking me away for a...

You've got to know
As you wash the blood from your clothes
You can clean out your clothes
You'll never clean your soul, no no

A.C.A.B
Tattoed on your knuckles
Does the world know what it means?
Now they're slipping on the bracelets
Are you so young and hard and mean
So cold and mean

(And the radio says)
I'm just calling to tell you baby
That they're taking me away for a while
No don't blame me it's this world that's made me
Now they're taking me away for a
Taking me away for a
Love and hate
On your knuckles
Your white knuckles
Love and hate

Love and hate
On your knuckles around the handles of a blade
The handles of a
