Don't Be Shy Lyrics
Don't be shy,
Don't be shy,
For if you are shy for tomorrow
You'll be shy for one thousand days.
Don't be shy,
Don't be shy,
Don't let the tide of your soul
Drown your nights and flood your days.
But still its better to be shy than stinking drunken old queen
Thats always got to have his way.
But don't be coy with me
I am to clever to follow you down
To dark and stormy weather
Quietly sliding out
So whats your pleasure?
Swallow your pride
But please...
Don't be shy,
Don't be shy,
For if you are shy for tomorrow
You'll be shy for one thousand days.
Now's your time to shine
Dance with me in your soul
You wake up one day
In the last chance saloon
You'll find your last chance
Has been and gone.
Don't be shy,
Don't be shy,
For if you are shy for tomorrow
You'll be shy for one thousand days.
Shy!
Shy!
Shy!

Don't let the tide of your soul drown your nights and flood your days, don't be shy
Oh I wont be, I'm a Libertine
I didn't like this song when I first got The Libertines, but it's grown on me. I love the line 'Don't be coy with me, I'm too clever to follow you...' So, it's song about taking oppourtunities and not letting them pass you by.
I think this song means that you should not be shy but it's better to be shy than to be "to much" and always want to get the attention.
this is ever such a good song, its just a really cool sound! i think that the line 'But still its better to be shy than stinking drunken old queen thats always got to have his way' is about when Mr Pete was a little bit of a prostitute to fund his, erm, habits because in Kids in the Riots book about the libertines, pete refers to his clients as old queens...so i thought perhaps it could be smething to do with that!
