Peter Doherty
Boys In the Band
[Verse 1]
You walk in like you've never seen the light
You walk in like it every night
But I've never seen you dance and I've never heard you sing
So how could it mean a single thing?
[Refrain]
It's all so rudimentary
[Verse 2]
You're talking like you're handy in a fight
You're talking like it every night
But I've never seen those flowers in the barrel of your gun
All I've ever seen you do is run
[Refrain]
It's all so rudimentary
[Pre-Chorus]
Well, tell me, baby, oh, how does it feel?
I know you like the roll of the limousine wheel, yeah
[Chorus]
And they all get them out for (They all get them out)
For the boys in the band (Only for the boys in the band)
They twist and they shout for (They twist and they scream and shout)
For the boys in the band (Only for the boys in the band)
[Verse 3]
You walk in like you've never seen the light
You walk in like it every night
But then I stop to think and I ask myself why
It's one of those things that, darling, you must try
[Refrain]
It's all so rudimentary
[Pre-Chorus]
And now I'm jealous, oh, I'm jealous of my own
I have no homestead but through these hearts I will roam, yeah
[Chorus]
They all get them out for (They all get them out)
For the boys in the band (Only for the boys in the band)
They scream and they shout for (They twist and they scream and shout)
For the boys in the band (Only for the boys in the band)
[Instrumental Break]
[Pre-Chorus]
But tell me, baby, oh, how does it feel?
I know you like the roll of the limousine wheel
[Chorus]
And they all get them out for (They all get them out)
For the boys in the band (Only for the boys in the band)
They scream and they shout for (They twist and they scream and shout)
For the boys in the band (Only for the boys in the band)
Yes, they all want them out for (They all want them out)
For the boys in the band (Only for the boys in the band)
They scream and they shout for (They twist and they scream and shout)
For the boys in the band (Only for the boys in the band)
[Outro]
Oh
