The Brightest Bulb Has Burned Out - Less Than Jake with Billy Bragg

You told me that your 20 years have gone by much too fast

And you've been hoping this year will be better than the last

You said you've been waging a war against the loneliest of nights

With the strongest drinks and longest lines

It's not that big a surprise

That you're feeling more dead than alive

You're feeling more dead than alive



So I'll let you know

If you need, somewhere to go

I'll be listening when you call

And I'll be there if you fall off

If you need someone to believe in you,

I'll let you know I will



You said the hole in your head

Has gotten bigger than the hole in your chest

And you're stuck between the past and present tense

You said you've been waging a war against so many years of lies

With stronger drinks and longer lines

It's not that big a surprise

That you're feeling more dead than alive

You're feeling more dead than alive



So I'll let you know

If you need, somewhere to go

I'll be listening when you call

And I'll be there if you fall off

If you need someone to believe in you,

I'll let you know I will
