No one can hold a light to your misery
You're the 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 it's the glory hallelujah 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!
The lyrics HEART OF THE MATTER of THE LIBERTINES is also present in the album Anthems for doomed youth (2015)
The Libertines sono un gruppo musicale inglese di indie rock formatosi a Londra nel 1997. Il nucleo originale era composto da Pete Doherty (voce, chitarra), Carl Barat (chitarra, voce), John Hassall (basso) e Gary Powell (batteria). La band ha raggiunto il successo con l'album d'esordio omonimo del 2002, caratterizzato da un sound energico che mescolava influenze garage rock, punk revival e melodie pop. Tra i brani più noti figurano "Time for Heroes", "Can't Stand Me Now" e "Don't Look Back into the Sun". Dopo una serie di problemi interni e personali, inclusi quelli legati all'alcolismo e alle droghe di Doherty, The Libertines si sono sciolti nel 2005. Nel 2010 la band ha annunciato un reunion con l'uscita dell'album "Anthems for Doomed Youth", seguito da una tournée mondiale. Nel 2014 hanno pubblicato il loro terzo album in studio, "The Libertines". La band è considerata una delle più influenti del movimento indie rock britannico degli anni 2000.
