The Libertines - Steady Hands

Walk under the lights they glow

The river will guide us home

Tell stories of history, whiskey fiend boastfully summons the ghost

Come join me I am your host

For an evening of getting lost

Climb into these buildings, abandon my children we’ve found a new home

You can cut out my heart, bury into the ground

It will burn through these bodies, keep sinking on down

Till it reaches the garden and passes through hell

And it keeps on still beating through this ancient town

Island, my love

So now you feel less than whole

Resent all that you once loved

So tell me why you just keep living this miserable life all alone

When you’ve burned all that you’ve owned

You’re left bleeding, empty hole

Lets fill up our glasses with absently minding and finding some hope

You can cut out my heart, bury into the ground

It will burn through these bodies, keep sinking on down

Till it reaches the garden and passes through hell

And it keeps on still beating through this ancient town

You can cut out my heart, burn it straight to the ground

It will burn through these bodies, keep sinking on down

Till it reaches the garden and passes through hell

And it keeps on still beating through this ancient town

Island, my love

My land, I love
