Boys in the Band Songtext
von The Libertines

You′re walkin' like you never seen the light
You′re walkin' like it every night
But I've never seen you dance and I′ve never heard you sing
So how can it mean a single thing?

It is all so rudimentary

You′re talkin' like you′re handy in the fight
You talk about it every night
But I've never seen those flowers in the barrel of a gun
All I′ve ever seen you do is run

It is all so rudimentary

But tell me, baby, how does it feel?
I know you like the roll of the limousine wheel

And they all get them out for (they all get them out)
For the boys in the band (only for the boys in the band)
They twist, and they shout for (they twist, and they scream and shout)
For the boys in the band (only for the boys in the band)


You're walkin′ like you never seen the light
You're walkin' like it every night
But then I stop to think and I ask myself why
It′s one of those things that, darling, you must try

It is all so rudimentary

And now I′m jealous, I'm jealous of my own
I′ve no homestead but through these hearts I will roam, yeah

They all get them out for (they all get them out)
For the boys in the band (only for the boys in the band)
They scream, and they shout (they twist, and they scream and shout)
For the boys in the band (only for the boys in the band)

But tell me, baby, how does it feel?
I know you like the roll of the limousine wheel

And they all get them out for (and they all get them out)
For the boys in the band (only for the boys in the band)
They scream, and they shout (they twist, and they scream and shout)
For the boys in the band (only for the boys in the band)

Yes, they all walk them out for (they all walk them out)
For the boys in the band (only for the boys in the band)
They scream, and they shout (twist, and they scream and shout)
For the boys in the band (only for the boys in the band)
Ah
