Never Never Lyrics
I was sucking on a cigarette
Where did that crowd come from?
They're all the pennies for the slot machines
Sells you back your dreams
That's fine in hell, boy
So that's fine with you
Why don't we try it again now
But my heart won't sing
Until that story is all been told
Yeah she buckled her spine, tattered my soul boy
Oh ain't that a wonder
Oh, but didn't you always say
There's gonna be a better way
I'm still lying in the muck
And mucking down with you
Did you see this girl, that girl
Look, oh, never never
Can I stay here forever?
(Drive me home)
Never, never, never you mind
I'll find it somewhere over the railings
Oh, but didn't like someone say
There's gonna be a better way
Oh, I'm still lying in the muck
Mucking down with you
I was sucking on a straight
Where did that crowd come from?
See, they're all the pennies from the slot machines
Sells you back your dreams
That's fine in hell, boy
So that's fine with you
Oh, but didn't you always say
There's gonna to be a better way
Oh oh oh
And I'm still lying in the muck
Mucking down with you
Lying in the muck now
Mucking down baby with you
Where did that crowd come from?
They're all the pennies for the slot machines
Sells you back your dreams
That's fine in hell, boy
So that's fine with you
But my heart won't sing
Until that story is all been told
Yeah she buckled her spine, tattered my soul boy
Oh ain't that a wonder
There's gonna be a better way
I'm still lying in the muck
And mucking down with you
Look, oh, never never
Can I stay here forever?
(Drive me home)
Never, never, never you mind
I'll find it somewhere over the railings
There's gonna be a better way
Oh, I'm still lying in the muck
Mucking down with you
Where did that crowd come from?
See, they're all the pennies from the slot machines
Sells you back your dreams
That's fine in hell, boy
So that's fine with you
There's gonna to be a better way
Oh oh oh
And I'm still lying in the muck
Mucking down with you
Lying in the muck now
Mucking down baby with you

ive never (never) heard this, if anyone has any links for me to download the song i would be really greatful...........
Yes it is on Can't stand me now single 1 (the green one) It is a brilliant song, should of been included on the album, kind of has that razorlight touch. One of my favourite Libertines songs.
this is a heavi tune ! i cant download the libertines version tho only the acoustic babyshambles one :( but yea luvin this tune
beautiful song
reckon its about carl and pete again.. in an interview somewhere pete said kids are being used as pennis for the slot machines. i reckon pete and carl being in this band suddenly people like them people buy their records etc Why don't we try it again now? maybe after the first time they half split up and then reminding themselves that they always said there would be a better day or something bejg
That pennies for the slot machine thing is about the band feeling like they're using their fans 'cause they're buying their records.
This song absolutely kicks ass its such a shame it hasn't been included on an album, it really is one of their very best 'sells you back your dreams' thats my fave line its just a beaut really.
anyone know which of them wrote it? the beat sounds kind of like carl's style, but some of the imagery seems more like pete.....
i think it was pete sounds more like him somehow...
carl definitely sings this not sure who wrote it though
