But its blood from broken hearts that write the words to every song
a beautific smile, for all the sinners

Verse
You might wanna stick one on his nose,
Ram his teeth down his (drug cold arm'')
and nowhere else to go,
In the Morning theres a buzz of flies,
Between the Pillows and the Skies that break into your eyes,
Through the Looking Glass inbetween your thighs,
Ah, its really no small surprise,
How it goes straight down the rabbit hole,
There it goes
Chorus
I've been meaning to tell you,
A set of mental things,
that occured to me,
I've been waiting to show you,
All a set of photographs,
make you laugh and smile,
He's got a Scottish Fiver up his nose,
oh, a set of mental things, (of sentimental things')
That occured to me
I was wanting to show you,
All a set of photographs,
But you came and went too fast,
In the Morning theres a buzz of flies,
Break into your eyes,
Through the Looking Glass inbetween your thighs,

8. lust of the libertines
chorus 1
Flust of the libertines
is really quite Bbtame
It rages quite nice here Fbeside you
and your lust for Bbfame
well fames such a sinister Fgame, i know
it could all end this way Bbthen
some things wont be the Fsame
i'm just a face, and a name on a Bbpage
well i'll be soundly Fsleeping, i'll be soundly sleeping
i'll sleep right through that aBbge
verse
well i can deal with all the Fblood on my shoes
and the holes in my soul
my spirit is tainted all my tears are fBbainted
just as long as Fyou
you dont fCorget to
uh-oh-ohF
Dmcut me on the Bbwall
by the Fgraffiti of all the the things i Cjust couldn't say
Fshove me up the wDmall
Bboh my darling was the kind of Floving now
Cyou've left me in the family Fway again
verse 2 (as verse 1)
the dust on my tambourine
really can be explained
i need to shake it more often
shake away the blame
well fames such a sinister game
oh i know
the taste of goulash in your mouth as you stumble off stage
forget-me-nots bloom on this day then
but they wither with age
chorus
outro (same as verse)

9. Do you know me
Intro Dm F C
DmDo you knFow mCe' IDm don't thFink sCo!
Do you know me' I don't think so!
You romanticize the dark and gloomy past
Trying to escape from the underclass
You darkened the bright and beautiful day
You're breaking my heart in every way
And Gmtell me everyAthing is dandy and fine
You're no friend of mine
DmI took you Fin Cand you stole from me
But you still got everything I need
You're walking so tall, you're looking so mean
You're walking so tall, you're looking so mean
But you tell me everything is dandy and fine
You're no friend of mine
(I've heard a few versions where they put in another verse here but I can't
remember the lyrics. Sometimes they play it without the extra verse.)
Do you know me' I don't think so!
Do you know me' I don't think so!
You romanticize the dark and gloomy past
Trying to escape from the upper class
You darkened the bright and beautiful day
You're fucking up my head in every way
And tell me everything's dandy and fine
You're no friend of mine

13. last of the english roses
AMy C#moh you did look dapper in famous aunty aurthurs trousers on
Slapped by that slappeer and how we all laughed
(But you laughed the loudest in 99)
you could charm the **** knees of the bees
And "saucy" you'd say and we all fell around,
rolling round the playground,
"cheeky" you'd say and we all fell around,
rolling round the playground
EAll the boys together
All the girls together now
AShes the Elast of the DEnglish Aroses
Shes the last of the English roses
Round the snooker table she danced frutti tutti
then thy spilt the lager toasting to girls of great beauty
she knows her faralis from her paradas of her kappas from her reebok
of her Rodney for her stanley of her milado from her taste
