Up the Bracket - The Libertines

I saw two shadow men on the Vallance Road

They said they’d pay me for your address

Oh, I was so bold

I said you see these two cold fingers

These crooked fingers I show

You a way to mean no

Well they didn’t like that much I can tell you

Said «Sunshine, I wouldn’t wanna be in your shoes»

Then they chased me up threeflights of stairs

Caught me in the lift how I sighed and said

«Hello,» but you’re impossible

And it’s just like he’s in another world

He doesn’t see the danger on show

Now he’ll wind up like Joseph, bloody in a hole

It’s just like she’s in another world

You know they suit each other oh no

Cause you never get close

It’s impossible

Saw the same two men on the Cally Road

Said now they double their offer

I was so bold

To say «You see these two cold fingers I know

These crooked fingers I show

Oh you’s a way to mean no»

But it’s just like he’s in another world

He doesn’t see the danger on show

And he’ll end up like Joseph, bloody in a hole

It’s just like she’s in another world

And now they suit each other oh no

But you never get close

(Crazy, unstoppable)

Fuck Off!

But it’s just like we’re all in another world

And how we suit each other oh no

But you never get close

That’s close enough now…
