Intro

   

Verse 1

Take me out tonight  
where there's music and there's people
who are young and alive   
Driving in your car 
I never never want to go home
because I haven't got one   
anymore  

Verse 2

Take me out tonight  
because I want to see people and I
want to see life   
Driving in your car 
Oh, please don't drop me home
because it's not my home, it's their home
and I'm welcome no more   

Chorus

And if a double-decker bus
crashes into us
to die by your side
is such a heavenly way to die
And if a ten ton truck
kills the both of us
to die by your side well
the pleasure the privilege is mine

Verse 3

Take me out tonight  
take me anywhere, I don't care
I don't care    
And in the darkened underpass
I thought Oh God, my chance has come at last  
(but then a strange fear gripped me and I
just couldn't ask)   

Verse 4

Take me out tonight  
oh take me anywhere, I don't care
I don't care    
driving in your car 
I never never want to go home
because I haven't got one   
I haven't got one  

Chorus

And if a double-decker bus
crashes into us
to die by your side
is such a heavenly way to die
And if a ten ton truck
kills the both of us
to die by your side well
the pleasure the privilege is mine

Outro

There is a light and it never goes out
There is a light and it never goes out
