Στοίχοι: Libertines, The. Anything But Love.

You put your love upon me

Though I was but poor

We lived a twisted little fairy story

Up on the 5th Floor



I said you can have my love for a song all right

But don?t hold it up to the light

Oh loveless

My loveless love



I can?t give you anything but love

(Love for loves own sake)

It?s like a message from above

(All the love we make)

Watch out for those foreign girls

(They never seem to make much sense)

Mistake my plastic beads for pearls

(We?ll leave all life?s pretence)



Don?t you walk down lonely streets

Under darkened skies

Come on up with me to my lonely retreat

I will sing you lullabies

We string it up and string it along

And listen to those old time songs

And make believe that they were written for you and me



I can give you anything but love

(Love for loves own sake)

It came like a message from above

(All the love we make)

Watch out for those foreign girls

(They never seem to make much sense)

Mistake my plastic beads for pearls

(We?ll leave all life?s pretence)



If you still love me

By morning

Oh you?ll find me waiting in the garden

By the cherry blossom tree

Bring tin cups of wine and cigarettes

Come to me in pirouettes

My darling

Save all your love for me



I can?t give you anything but love

(Love for loves own sake)

It came like a message from above

(All the love we make)

You watch out for those modern girls

(Who never seem to make much sense)

Mistake my plastic beads for pearls

(In a world of innocence)



I will sing you lullabies in all your dreams

(If you tell me that you will)

I?ve seen those dirty magazines

(And I got my cheap thrills)



I can?t give you anything but love

Was that that sweet old song

That you sung when I held you in my arms

I can give you anything but love



I can give you anything but love
