Libertines, The - Death On The Stairs Lyrics






From way far across the sea
Came an eritrean maiden she
Had a one track mind and eyes for me
Half blinded in the war

With a pale young Anglican
Who said he'd help her all he can
Showed her Jesus and his little un-holy friend
She had no mind to please him
Just say 'ta-ra' and leave him behind

There's a little boy in a stairwell who says
"I hate people like you"
Got matches & cable TV half of less than 50p
We all clambered over the balcony
Banging on the window waking Steve
Bringing with a true love his un-holy friend
If you really need it
You just won't leave it behind

So baby please kill me
Oh baby don't kill me
But don't bring that ghost round to my door
I don't wanna see him anymore

Please kill me
Oh baby don't kill me
Just don't bang on about yesterday
I wouldn't know about that anyway

Monkey asked the mouse before
If she loved anybody more than he
It turns you into stone
Now I'm reversing down the lonely street
To a cheap hotel when I can meet the past
And pay it off and keep it sweet
It's sweet like nothing no
It's just like nothing at all

Yes I've seen you there
How could I help but stare
It rips the heart out off your baby
Now I've taken far too much to see
Or think or touch what's real
I'm stranded on this street that
Paved my only way home

You really need it oh
You just won't leave it behind

So baby please kill me
Oh baby don't kill me
But don't bring that ghost round to my door
I don't wanna see him anymore

Please kill me
Oh baby don't kill me
But don't bang on about yesterday
I wouldn't know about that anyway
Oh no

He got nothing he got nothing at all

    From way far across the sea
    Came an Eritrean maiden she
    Had a one-track mind and eyes for me
    Half blinded in a war

    With a pale, young Anglican
    Who said he'd help her all he can
    Showed her Jesus and his little unholy friend
    She had no mind to please him
    Just say 'ta-ra' and leave him behind

    A little boy in a stairwell who
    Says 'I hate people like you'
    I got matchsticks and cable TV
    Half of less than 50P
    We all clambered over the balcony
    Banging on the window, waking Steve
    Bringing with the true love his unholy friend
    Singing, 'If you really need it
    You just won't leave it behind'

    So, baby, please kill me
    Oh, baby, don't kill me
    But don't bring that ghost 'round to my door
    I don't want to see him anymore
    Please kill me
    Oh, baby, don't kill me
    Just don't bang on about yesterday
    You know I wouldn't know about that anyway

    Monkey asked to the mouse before
    If she loved anybody more than he
    Turns you into stone
    Now I'm reversing down the lonely street
    Cheap hotel where I can meet the past
    Pay it off and keep it sweet
    (aw) It's sweet and it's nothing, no
    It's just like nothing at all

    You know I've seen you there
    How could i help but stare?
    It rips the heart out of your, baby
    I've taken too far too much to see or think or touch what's real
    Stranded on this street that paved my only way home
    If you really need it all
    You just won't leave him behind

    Oh please kill me
    Oh no don't kill me
    Don't bring that ghost 'round to my door
    I don't want to see him anymore
    Please kill me
    Oh no don't kill me
    And don't try joke about yesterday
    You know I wouldn't know about that anyway

    It's sweet like nothing no
    It's sweet like nothing at all
    It's sweet like nothing no
    It's sweet like nothing at all
    It's sweet like nothing no
    It's sweet like nothing at all

  5. M.... A....

    Liver failure handicap

  6. A.... L....

    Oh fuck I love the libs

  7. M.... ....

    Bands with fewer views on Youtube, undeserved which makes no sense but up the bracket!!

  8. M.... E....

    Best song on the album.

  9. S.... P....

    so glad carl and peter have been able to work together again, would be a shame to music and the world for them to not of patched their problems up, (with safety pins lol) the libs have been a huge influence on me and my music, my band has actually just released our brand new single, we would love to know what you think, try searching The Stumble and Shake - Haha , you may be in for a surprise!

  10. A.... V....

    still love this song, from start to finish. "Now I've taken far too much to see or think or touch what's real I'm stranded on this street that paved my only way home" only pete could string such words together. this whole album is such a gem

  11. K.... C....

    Fucking hell when Pete takes over

  12. D.... ....

    Brilliant
    Thank you

  13. P.... R....

    best song ever!

  14. d.... ....

    Probably the best song in the history of songs.

    d.... ....

    djk6516 haven’t heard many songs then!

    d.... ....

    I agree

  15. C.... M....

    Always wondered if this was a reference

    Velvet Underground - "Oh sweet nutin', she ain't got nothing at all"
    The Libertines - "It's sweet like nothing no It's just like nothing at all"

    C.... M....

    he certainly likes borrowing bits and pieces

  16. V.... M....

    all time favorite. i remember the reps for the record label dropping this CD off and enjoying it admist the rock that was saturated on the radio

  17. m.... m....

    Great band. Disappointed in how underrated they are; especially with songs like this.

    m.... m....

    lol definitely not underrated

    m.... m....

    @Windy wish I lived in England.

    m.... m....

    They were the biggest band in the UK for a while and they had the world at their feet.

    m.... m....

    @Jamieoo77 = Good call fella. The Press jumped on the bandwagon too tbf.

  18. G.... a....

    Baby Dont kill me

  19. C.... M....

    Dynamite hiy

  20. T.... L....

    Let's be honest. A cool title does not a song make. This is shit.

    T.... L....

    T.... L....

    It takes a lot of time to let Libs inside your heart..I did not like it at first,but after a while I realised that this...this hurts man,and it's true,and it tells you a secret

    T.... L....

    Karoo Liswenthrey This album is like a magic eye picture. First listen....it's just a racket. Then after 2 or 3 plays, the beautiful sweet melodies become clear. This is in my top 5 ever songs.

    T.... L....

    there's no saving this one, we gonna have to throw the whole bitch out

    T.... L....
