    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
    Well, the pleasure and the privilege is mine
    Take me out tonight
    Oh take me anywhere
    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"
    But then a strange fear gripped me
    And I just couldn't ask
    Take me out tonight
    Take me anywhere
    I don't care, I don't care, I don't care
    Just driving in your car
    I never never want to go home
    Because I haven't got one
    Oh, I haven't got one
    There is a light that never goes out
    There is a light that never goes out
    There is a light that never goes out
    There is a light that never goes out...

    the ending melody is so much more than just few notes. its epic. so beautiful. i find it the essence of the song summed up to the last few moments.

    this is beautiful. I mean, the original is beautiful but this... this transcends any conventional measure of beauty. I'm not saying this is better than the original, because I mean.. I was raised with Morrissey. But, I've got to admit.. they did well. Especially for a pop-punk band.
