I don't want to die, I want to live, if only for the thrill But if someone ran me over, it would be a merciful kill It's just one of those things where the bite is worse than the bark And I heard the news scrolling on my phone in Finsbury Park At the core of our sadness there's a rotting pit of celluloid and noise You're from the US and I'm from around here but in our hearts we're London boys You were weak, and defenseless And they turned you into a nasty piece of work Come show me the moves they learn in NYC I'll show my fists to those damned jerks You punched the holes in all the walls and I'm a fool for you But I think I smoked too much and you took things you shouldn't use It's just that you were the one to take it all too far, of fucking course Lying in the emotionless stillness of my room I dyed my hair black to match yours To match your hair, to match your eyes, to match your heart and combat boots I think I'll cut off my hair, or I'll go orange or I'll tear it at the roots You were weak, and defenseless And they turned you into a nasty piece of work Come show me the moves they learn in NYC I'll show my fists to those damned jerks They tell me you don't love yourself Well you are the best friend I've ever had And why don't you stand up for yourself? I should have known, I should have asked about your Dad Sharing cigarettes the way you should have shared your heart We might not be the missing kids on the milk cartons but We're their safe and sound counterparts You were weak, and defenseless And they turned you into a nasty piece of work Come show me the moves they learn in NYC I'll show my fists to those damned jerks You were weak, and defenseless And they turned you into a nasty piece of work Come show me the moves they learn in NYC I'll show my fists to those damned jerks
