Well, I know you say now,
very well done, me old son
But it's hard, you know,
every day is a dark, dark one
Cos my old friend's here, tug,
tug, tugging at my sleeve
You know he tugged so hard that he
could al most make me leave
Light up your candles,
into the dark we go
To be a good night is all
I want you know
Light up your candles,
cos here we go
It's a schlep, this old life
Just one slip and you are gone
Back into the void where
you came from
You can't light your own way
Through this dark unholy place
Just one candle an d a happy face
So light it up now
Fill the darkness with your grace
Just one candle an d a happy face
Light it up now
Your happy face
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Light it up, I love your happy face
It's too easy somehow,
just grit your teeth and let it go.
Last seduction, title destruction.
So what you gonna do now,
with the good life you have found?
Grin and bear it till you're
six feet in the ground.
Light up your candles,
into the dark we go
To be a good man is all I
want you know
Light up your candles,
cos here we go
Light it up now, cos here we go
