The Libertines – Night Of The Hunter LYRICS

Love and hate
Tattooed on the knuckles
Around the handles of a blade
On the knuckles
Around the handles of a blade
Your bloody blade

Now here it comes
Flashing lights and sirens…
You know it won’t be long
Time for the radio to play your last song
Your last song

I’m just calling to tell you baby
They’ll be taking me away for a while
Well don’t blame me, it’s the world that made me
And they’re taking me away for a…
Taking me away for a…

Yes, how well they come
Flashing lights and sirens scream
You know they won’t be long
Just time to call the missus and tell her what you’ve done
Now you’ve done wrong

I was calling to tell you baby
That they’re taking me away for a while
Ah you can’t blame me it’s this world that’s made me
Now they’re taking me away for a
Taking me away for a…

Oh you’ve got to know
As you wash the blood out of your clothes
You can clean your clothes
You’ll never clean your soul, no, no

ACAB, tattooed on your knuckles
Does the world know what it means?
Now they’re, slipping on the bracelets are you so young and hard and mean
So cold and mean

I’m just calling to tell you baby
That they’re taking me away for a while
No don’t blame me it’s this world that’s made me
Now they’re taking me away for a…
Taking me away for a…

Love and hate on your knuckles
On your white knuckles

Love and hate on your knuckles
The handles of a blade
The handles of a
