"There Is a Light That Never Goes Out" by Neil Finn is a cover of the iconic song by The Smiths, featuring Johnny Marr. The lyrics express a desire to escape from the mundane and lonely realities of life by seeking solace in the company of others. The narrator yearns to go out with someone, driving in their car, to experience the vibrancy of music, people, and lights. The repeated refrain of not wanting to go home signifies a feeling of alienation and detachment from their own living situation.

The line "And if a double-decker bus crashes into us to die by your side, is such a heavenly way to die" captures the intensity of the narrator's emotions and their willingness to embrace even fatal experiences as long as they are in the presence of the person they desire. It reflects a deep longing for connection and a belief that being with this person, even in death, would be more fulfilling than feeling alone.

The reference to a "ten-ton truck" killing them both further emphasizes the idea that the narrator values shared experiences and connections over the fear of death. It speaks to an intense devotion and loyalty, as they see dying together as a privilege rather than a tragedy.

In the final line, "There is a light and it never goes out," the narrator finds solace in the eternal existence of this light. It suggests the enduring hope that love and connection can provide, even in the face of darkness or isolation.
