  • You walk in like you've never seen the light
    You walk in like it every night
    But I've never seen you dance
    And I've never heard you sing
    So how could it mean a single thing?
    It's all so rudimentary

    You talking like you handy in a fight
    You talking like it every night
    But I've never seen those flowers in the barrel of your gun
    All I've ever seen you do is run
    It's all so rudimentary

    Well tell me, baby, how does it feel?
    I know you like the roll of the limousine wheel
    And they all get them out for (they all get them out)
    For the boys in the band (only for the boys in the band)
    They twist and they shout for (they twist and they scream and shout)
    For the boys in the band (only for the boys in the band)

    You walk in like you've never seen the light
    You walk in like it every night
    But then I stop to think
    And I ask myself why
    It's one of those things that darling you must try
    It's all so rudimentary

    And now I'm jealous
    I'm jealous of my own
    I have no homestead but through these hearts I will roam

    They all get them out for (they all get them out)
    For the boys in the band (only for the boys in the band)
    They scream and they shout for (they twist and they scream and shout)
    For the boys in the band (only for the boys in the band)

    But tell me, baby, how does it feel?
    I know you like the roll of the limousine wheel
    And they all get them out for (they all get them out)
    For the boys in the band (only for the boys in the band)
    They scream and they shout for (they twist and they scream and shout)
    For the boys in the band (only for the boys in the band)

    Yes they all want them out for (they all get them out)
    For the boys in the band (only for the boys in the band)
    They scream and they shout for (they twist and they scream and shout)
    For the boys in the band (only for the boys in the band) Writer/s: Carl Barat, Peter Doherty
