lyrics

There’s a light that doesn’t burn out it just fades to a flicker
If you shine down in the square, can I get in your knickers?
Drinking in the café we could rid this town of its liquor
There’s a light that doesn’t burn out it just fades to a flicker

Like a horse kick to the head, you got me falling so hard
Can’t think straight or even speak, you caught me off my guard
I’d probably go it alone without any trump cards
Like a horse kick to the head, you got me falling so hard

There’s a woozy feeling like a bad bit in a musical
The tune plods along far from frenetic
When I come to, I’ll chase the next girls, I’ll say she’s special
Blame my father, the trait is genetic

I’ll be gone down the stairs, out for a walk
Nothing left to do so I might as well walk
Nothing left to do so I might as well walk

There’s a light that doesn’t burn out
A light that doesn’t burn out
There’s a light that doesn’t burn out it just fades to a flicker

There’s a light that doesn’t burn out
A light that doesn’t burn out
There’s a light that doesn’t burn out it just fades to a flicker
