Heart of the Matter
Libertines

[Verse 1 : Peter Doherty]

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

Kicking the pricks

Laughing as they pick up sticks

And old ladies walks on by

Trip up as they glide

[Pre-Chorus : Peter Doherty]

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

[Chorus : Peter Doherty]

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?

[Verse 2 : Carl Barât]

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

[Pre-Chorus : Carl Barât & Peter Doherty]

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?

[Verse 3 : Carl Barât]

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

[Pre-Chorus : Carl Barât & Peter Doherty]

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

[Chorus : Peter Doherty]

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!
