Songtexte Heart of the Matter - The Libertines
No
one
can
hold
a
light
to
your
misery
You′re
number
one
Being
hard
done
Hard
done
by
You'll
get
by
with
your
smile
Wicked
smile
and
laughing
at
the
misfortune
of
others
Yelling
at
your
kids
A
can
of
bricks
Laughing
as
they
pick
up
sticks
And
old
ladies
walks
on
by
Trip
up
as
they
cry
With
all
the
battering
it′s
taken
I'm
surprised
it's
still
ticking
Yeah
with
all
the
battering
it′s
taken
I′m
surprised
it's
still
ticking
Let′s
get
straight
to
the
heart
of
the
matter
So
glum,
it's
all
on
a
platter
So
what′s
the
matter,
what's
the
matter
today?
I
am
no
stranger
to
the
cause
I
carry
them
in
my
soul
They
scorch
my
flesh
and
leave
great
holes
In
the
meaning
of
my
life
But
I
get
by,
I
get
by
Just
as
crooked
little
smile
You′ll
get
by,
you'll
get
by
With
all
the
battering
it's
taken
Well,
I′m
surprised
it′s
still
ticking
Yeah,
with
all
the
battering
it
has
taken
I'm
surprised
it′s
still
ticking
Let's
get
straight
to
the
heart
of
the
matter
So
glum,
it′s
all
on
a
platter
So
what's
the
matter,
what′s
the
matter
today?
Oh
let's
get
straight
to
the
heart
of
the
matter
Why
so
glum
it's
all
on
the
platter
So
what′s
the
matter
tell
me
what′s
the
matter
today?
So
hold
a
light
to
my
misery
But
don't
send
it
up
in
flames
It′s
only
I
who
take
the
blame
But
try
me
anyway
And
you'll
get
by
you′ll
get
by
With
your
wicked
little
smile
You'll
get
by,
you′ll
get
by
with
your
wicked
little
Ohhhh
With
the
battering
it's
taken
I'm
surprised
that
it′s
still
ticking
Yeah
with
all
the
battering
it′s
taken
I'm
surprised
it′s
still
ticking
Let's
get
straight
to
the
heart
of
the
matter
Oh
why
so
glum,
it′s
all
on
a
platter
Oh
what's
the
matter,
what′s
the
matter
today?
Let's
get
straight
to
the
heart
of
the
matter
Why
so
glum,
it's
all
on
a
platter
Oh
what′s
the
matter
is
the
glum
ruining
your
day
Straight
to
the
heart
of
the
matter
Why
so
glum,
it′s
all
on
a
platter
Oh
what's
the
matter,
what′s
the
matter
today?
Let's
get
straight!
