Death On The Stairs — текст песни (The Libertines)

From way far across the sea
Came an eritrean maiden she
Had a one track mind and eyes for me
Half blinded in the war

With a pale young Anglican
Who said he`d help her all he can
Showed her Jesus and his little un-holy friend
She had no mind to please him
Just say `ta-ra` and leave him behind

There`s a little boy in a stairwell who says
"I hate people like you"
Got matches & cable TV half of less than 50p
We all clambered over the balcony
Banging on the window waking Steve
Bringing with a true love his un-holy friend
If you really need it
You just won`t leave it behind

So baby please kill me
Oh baby don`t kill me
But don`t bring that ghost round to my door
I don`t wanna see him anymore

Please kill me
Oh baby don`t kill me
Just don`t bang on about yesterday
I wouldn`t know about that anyway

Monkey asked the mouse before
If she loved anybody more than he
It turns you into stone
Now I`m reversing down the lonely street
To a cheap hotel when I can meet the past
And pay it off and keep it sweet
It`s sweet like nothing no
It`s just like nothing at all

Yes I`ve seen you there
How could I help but stare
It rips the heart out off your baby
Now I`ve taken far too much to see
Or think or touch what`s real
I`m stranded on this street that
Paved my only way home

You really need it oh
You just won`t leave it behind

So baby please kill me
Oh baby don`t kill me
But don`t bring that ghost round to my door
I don`t wanna see him anymore

Please kill me
Oh baby don`t kill me
But don`t bang on about yesterday
I wouldn`t know about that anyway
Oh no

He got nothing he got nothing at all
