Well is it cruel or kind
not to speak my mind
and to lie to you
rather than hurt you
Well, i'll confess all of my sins
after several large gins
but still i'll hide from you
and hide what's inside from you
And alarm bells ring
when you say your heart still sings
when you're with me
oh darling, please forgive me
But i no longer hear the music
oh no no no no no
And all the memories of the pubs
and the clubs and the drugs and the tubs
we shared together
will stay with me forever
But all the highs and the lows
and the tos and the fros
they left me dizzy
oh darling, please forgive me
But i no longer hear the music
oh no no no no no
Well i no longer hear the music when the lights go out
love goes cold in the shades of doubt
the strange face in my mind is all too clear
music when the lights come on
the girl i thought i knew has gone
and with her my heart it disappeared
Well i no longer hear the music
oh no no no no no
And all the memories of the fights and nights
under blue lights and all the kites
we flew together
love thought they'll fly forever
But all the highs and the lows
and the tos and the fros
they left me dizzy
oh won't you please forgive me
But i no longer hear the music
oh no no no no no
Music when the lights go out
love goes cold in the shades of doubt
the strange face in my mind is all too clear
Music when the lights come on
the girl i thought i knew has gone
and with her my heart it disappeared
But i no longer hear the music
oh no no no no no
and i no longer hear the music
