Lyrics

[Verse 1]
You stood in the bell tower, now you're gone
So who knows all the sights of Notre Dame?
[PreChorus]
They've got the stars for the gallant hearts
I'm no replacement for your part
All I want to do is forget
You, friend
[Chorus]
Hammer Horror, Hammer Horror
Won't leave it alone
The first time in my life, I keep the lights on
To ease my soul
Hammer Horror, Hammer Horror
Won't leave it alone
[PostChorus]
I don't know
Is this the right thing to do?
[Verse 2]
Rehearsing in your things, I feel guilty
And retracing all the scenes of your big hit
[PreChorus]
Oh, God, you needed the leading role
It wasn't me who made you go, though
All I want to do is forget
You, friend
[Chorus]
Hammer Horror, Hammer Horror
Won't leave it alone, yeah
The first time in my life, I keep the lights on
To ease my soul (Ooh)
Hammer Horror, Hammer Horror
Won't leave it alone
[PostChorus]
I don't know
Is this the right thing to do?
[Instrumental]
Who calls me from the other side
Of the street?
And who taps me on the shoulder?
I turn around, but you're gone
[PreChorus]
I've got a hunch that you're following
To get your own back on me
All I want to do is forget
You, friend
[Chorus]
Hammer Horror, Hammer Horror
Won't leave it alone, uh-uh
First time in my life, I keep the lights on
To ease my soul (Soul)
Hammer Horror, Hammer Horror
Won't leave it alone
[PostChorus]
Don't know
Is this the right thing to do?
