If Only for Tonight - The Crookes

One night to be forgotten

She got a mouth like Johnny Rotten

This city seems so strange but here we go again

So kill the lights

If the night belongs to the young

(don't wanna see the sun)

Just killing time

Finding ways to come alive

If only for tonight

Poor me, cast as the underdog

I know I’m English but I’m bored of the dialogue

Let’s go, let’s twist the plot or lose it just the same

So kill the lights

If the night belongs to the young

(don't wanna see the sun)

Just killing time

Finding ways to come alive

If only for tonight

But if you’re in, I’m all in

Neon lights make my head swim

And in the morning I’ll forget what I done

Matchbook souvenirs

From the underground, been lost and found and still

I will disappear

With a royal flush at Lucky Cuss

Just killing time

To try and feel alive

If only for tonight …

So kill the lights

If the night belongs to the young

(don't wanna see the sun)

Just killing time

Finding ways to come alive

(if only for tonight)

We spit at stars and

These bars are sticky and cruel

(but who you tryna fool?)

I guess we all need a way

To get through the day

Just killing time

To try and feel alive

If only for tonight …
