There's a Light Still on in the Cock Tavern Songtext
von Man the Lifeboats

Na na na na na na woah oh oh
Na na na na na na woah oh oh
Na na na na na na woah oh oh

Said Somerstown Romeo to Holloway Juliet
Well you are my finest surprise
When first I saw your face on the Hilldrop estate
I couldn′t believe my drunken eyes

Said Holloway Juliet to Somerstown Romeo
I know a little place we can go
Where no one comes knocking in the dead of afternoon
And the cctv is just for show

And we can lie in the park
And drink cider till it gets dark

There's a light still on in the Cock Tavern
And they′re throwing people into the Thames
What future awaits our star-crossed lovers?
Forever is full of dead ends
Why can't we be friends?


Hey there Somerstown Romeo
There's something that I need to understand
It′s been a while since you took me to the pictures
It′s been a while since you held my hand

That's my Holloway Juliet
For me it′s as clear as day
I still love you just as much as I always have done
I just show it in a different way

Ah come on let's not fight
Everything will be alright

And there′s a light still on in the Cock Tavern
And they're throwing people into the Thames
What future awaits our star-crossed lovers?
Well forever is full of dead ends
Singing why can′t we be friends?

Now the final act is upon us
And what a tale of love and woe
I did not expect the love of my life
To be transformed into Malvolio

Wherefore the f*ck art thou Romeo?
I'm looking for my old Juliet
When did my rose by any other name
Turn into Lady Macbeth?


And here we are, the bitter end
Why can't we just be friends?

And there′s a light still on in the Cock Tavern
And they′re throwing people into the Thames
What future awaits our star-crossed lovers?
Well forever is full of dead ends

And there's a light still on in the Cock Tavern
Shining through those lost weekends
I think it was Shakespeare who put it best
Oh why can′t we be friends?
Singing why can't we be friends?
Oh why can′t we be friends
Singing why can't we be
Friends?

Na na na na na na woah oh oh
Na na na na na na woah oh oh
