Lyrics

The Cribs — Leather Jacket Love Song

10 years on and 2001 is long gone

So I didn't wanna write another leather jacket love song

But you were a drug I couldn't hide from

And I know, it's not the same for you

In truth you're a saving grace

But you never knew what

If I was born at all, I knew I was always born to lose

But you were a drug I couldn't hide from
