|Take me out tonight
|Take me out tonight
Where there's music and there's people
where there's music and there's people
And they're young and alive
who are young and alive
 
driving in your car
Driving in your car
I never never want to go home
I never never want to go home
Because I haven't got one
because I haven't got one
Anymore
anymore
 
take me out tonight
Take me out tonight
because I want to see ''people''
Because I want to see people
and I want to see ''lights''
And I want to see life
driving in your car
 
oh please don't drop me home
Driving in your car
because it's not ''my'' home, it's ''their'' home
Oh, please don't drop me home
and I'm welcome no more
Because it's not my home, it's their home
and if a double-decker bus
And I'm welcome no more
crashes into us
 
to die by your side
And if a double-decker bus crashes into us
such a heavenly way to die
To die by your side is such a heavenly way to die
and if a ten ton truck
And if a ten-ton truck kills the both of us
kills the both of us
To die by your side, well, the pleasure, the privilege is mine
to die by your side
 
the pleasure and the privilege is mine
Take me out tonight
take me out tonight
Take me anywhere
oh take me anywhere, I don't care
I don't care, I don't care, I don't care
and in the darkened underpass
 
I thought ''Oh, God, my chance has come at last''
And in the darkened underpass
(but then a strange fear gripped me and I just couldn't ask)
I thought, oh, God, my chance has come at last
take me out tonight
But then a strange fear gripped me and I just couldn't ask
take me anywhere, I don't care
 
just driving in your car
Take me out tonight
I never want to go home
Oh, take me anywhere
because I haven't got one
I don't care, I don't care, I don't care
I haven't got one
 
Driving in your car
I never never want to go home
Because I haven't got one, no no no
Oh, I haven't got one
 
And if a double-decker bus crashes into us
To die by your side is such a heavenly way to die
And if a ten-ton truck kills the both of us
To die by your side, well, the pleasure, the privilege is mine
 
Oh, there is a light and it never goes out
There is a light and it never goes out
There is a light and it never goes out

Lyrics

Take me out tonight

where there's music and there's people who are young and alive driving in your car I never never want to go home because I haven't got one anymore take me out tonight because I want to see people and I want to see lights driving in your car oh please don't drop me home because it's not my home, it's their home and I'm welcome no more and if a double-decker bus crashes into us to die by your side such a heavenly way to die and if a ten ton truck kills the both of us to die by your side the pleasure and the privilege is mine take me out tonight oh take me anywhere, I don't care and in the darkened underpass I thought Oh, God, my chance has come at last (but then a strange fear gripped me and I just couldn't ask) take me out tonight take me anywhere, I don't care just driving in your car I never want to go home because I haven't got one I haven't got one
