If you get tired of just hanging around
Pick up a guitar and spin a web of sound
Then you could be strung out all day
With your lovers and clowns
But now I find myself hanging around
It’s been a long war and we’re tired and dirty
Still not dirty enough for you my loveWe’ve been thieving
I stole the light from the dawn
But when I come round on your floor
I wish I’d never been born
Can you hear me?
Can you see through it all?
I’m empty lost and alone
Oh won’t you heed my call?It’s been a long war, now we’re tired and dirty
Still not dirty enough for you oh….Oh I’m so tired of hanging around
Oh I’ll pick up a guitar, spin a web of sound
Speak my love
(The Libertines – The Ha Ha Wall)
