  • Love and hate
    Tattooed on the knuckles 'round the handles of a blade
    On the knuckles 'round the handles of a blade
    A bloody blade

    Now here it comes
    All the flashing lights and sirens, you know it won't be long
    Time for the radio to play your last song
    Your last song

    I'm just calling to tell you, baby
    That they're be takin' me away for a while
    Well, don't blame me, it's the world that made me
    And they're takin' me away for a
    Takin' me away for a

    Yes, ah well, here they come
    Flashing lights and sirens scream, you know they won't be long
    Just time to phone the missus and tell her what you've done
    And how you've done wrong

    I was calling to tell you, baby
    They're takin' me away for a while
    Ah, you can't blame me, it's this world that's made me
    Now they're takin' me away for a
    Takin' me away for a

    Oh, you've got to know
    As you wash the blood from your clothes
    You can clean out your clothes
    You'll never clean your soul, no, no

    A-C-A-B
    Tattooed on your knuckles, does the world know what it means?
    Ah, now they're slippin' on the bracelets, are you so young and hard and mean
    So cold and mean
    (And the radio says)

    I'm just calling to tell you, baby
    That they're be takin' me away for a while
    No, don't blame me, it's the world that's made me
    Now they're takin' me away for a
    Takin' me away for a

    Love and hate
    On your knuckles
    On your white knuckles
    Love and hate
    On your knuckles on the handles of a blade
    The handles of a Writer/s: Carl Barat, Gary Powell, John Hassall, Pete Doherty
