There Is a Light That Never Goes Out (The Smiths cover) Lyrics
Take me out tonight
where there's music and there's people and they're young and alive
Driving in your car
I never never want to go home
because I haven't got one anymore
Take me out tonight
Because I want to see people and I want to see life
Driving in your car
Oh please don't take me home
Because it's not my home - it's their home and I'm welcome no more
And if a double-decker bus crashes into us
To die by your side is such a heavenly way to die
And if a ten ton truck kills the both of us
To die by your side, well the pleasure, the privilege is mine
Take me out tonight
Take me anywhere, I don't care I don't care I don't care
And in the darkened underpass
I thought "Oh god, my chance has come at last"
but then a strange fear gripped me
and I just couldn't ask
Take me out tonight
Oh take me anywhere, I don't care, I don't care, I don't care
Driving in your car
I never never want to go home
Because I haven't got one
Oh, I haven't got one
And if a double-decker bus crashes into us
To die by your side is such a heavenly way to die
And if a ten ton truck kills the both of us
To die by your side, well the pleasure, the privilege is mine
where there's music and there's people and they're young and alive
Driving in your car
I never never want to go home
because I haven't got one anymore
Because I want to see people and I want to see life
Driving in your car
Oh please don't take me home
Because it's not my home - it's their home and I'm welcome no more
To die by your side is such a heavenly way to die
And if a ten ton truck kills the both of us
To die by your side, well the pleasure, the privilege is mine
Take me anywhere, I don't care I don't care I don't care
And in the darkened underpass
I thought "Oh god, my chance has come at last"
but then a strange fear gripped me
and I just couldn't ask
Oh take me anywhere, I don't care, I don't care, I don't care
Driving in your car
I never never want to go home
Because I haven't got one
Oh, I haven't got one
To die by your side is such a heavenly way to die
And if a ten ton truck kills the both of us
To die by your side, well the pleasure, the privilege is mine

Fantastic song, one of the rare occasions that a cover is better than the original, and I can't get this thing out of my head.
