Somewhere The Lights Don't Shine
(Words & music by Salim Nourallah)


so you're no longer mine?
    out there somewhere the lights don't shine
the world is big and cruel
    some people'd love to screw you around
screw you into the ground
    drag your face round the town
for a cheap thrill, let you down

leave you, drop of the hat
    use you, quicker than that
don't you trust them, don't do that

hope you are safe and sound
    at home, no don't go out...stay in
beware who you call friend
    don't let just anybody in
they might steal what you lend
    get in under your skin
for a cheap thrill, do you in


use you, drop of the hat
    leave you, quicker than that
don't be stupid, don't do that

i wish that you would listen
    i know you've never listened
there's nothing that you're missing out there...no one else cares

so you're no longer mine?
    out there somewhere the lights
lights don't shine, lights don't shine, lights don't shine
