The Libertines

Everyone knows that babyââ?¬â?¢s unhappy
Another day in paradise
In a world where you never grow old
Warms my bones and melts the ice

So whatââ?¬â?¢s wrong with my best friend
If to me her hand is lent
Its all bringing me down
Its not all right

Hold on tighter to
The friends that you made
And the life that you once knew
Sheââ?¬â?¢s not mine
And I wonââ?¬â?¢t change one thing
Gonna move in line
Sheââ?¬â?¢s not mine
And I wonââ?¬â?¢t change one thing

Mother dear oh I am so sorry
For the friend I feel so bad
Brother tried and failed to hate me
Even if he raised his hand
Sister sister please donââ?¬â?¢t wake me
Wonââ?¬â?¢t you please try understand
These things just seem to overtake me
Self indulgence not the plan

Hold on tighter to
The friends that you made
And the life that you once knew
Sheââ?¬â?¢s not mine
And I wonââ?¬â?¢t change one thing
Iââ?¬â?¢m gonna move in line
Sheââ?¬â?¢s not mine
And I wonââ?¬â?¢t change one thing

Oh I wish Iââ?¬â?¢d never shook your hand
Oh I wish Iââ?¬â?¢d never shook your hand
Oh I wish Iââ?¬â?¢d never shook your hand
Oh I wish Iââ?¬â?¢d never shook your hand
Oh I wish Iââ?¬â?¢d never shook your hand
