"There Is a Light That Never Goes Out"

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 drop 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 tonne 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 tonne truck

Kills the both of us

To die by your side

Well, the pleasure, the privilege is mine

Oh, there is a light and it never goes out

There is a light and it never goes out

There is a light and it never goes out

There is a light and it never goes out

There is a light and it never goes out

There is a light and it never goes out

There is a light and it never goes out

There is a light and it never goes out...
