| [00:15.190] |
|
| [00:18.140][Verse 1] |
|
| [00:20.140] |
Here's a story about |
| [00:21.780] |
the rules of death and glory |
| [00:24.130] |
To be learned by heart |
| [00:25.350] |
by all children of men |
| [00:28.720] |
It's the hour of the morning |
| [00:31.120] |
on the day after the dawning |
| [00:33.580] |
When the sun they said would never set |
| [00:35.880] |
finally set again |
| [00:38.400] |
Was it Cromwell or Orwell |
| [00:40.690] |
who first led you to the stairwell |
| [00:42.960] |
Which leads only forever to kingdom come |
| [00:47.660] |
Rushed alone by guiding hands |
| [00:50.110] |
whispers of the promised land |
| [00:52.630] |
They wished you luck |
| [00:53.760] |
and handed you a gun |
| [00:56.290] |
|
| [00:57.700][Chorus] |
|
| [00:58.760] |
Life could be so handsome |
| [01:03.550] |
Life could be so gay |
| [01:08.790] |
We're going nowhere |
| [01:11.870] |
But nowhere |
| [01:15.580] |
nowhere's on our way |
| [01:20.110] |
|
| [01:21.150][Verse 2] |
|
| [01:21.550] |
In the pub that night |
| [01:23.350] |
Racking out the lines of shite |
| [01:26.430] |
Putting to right |
| [01:27.220] |
All of the world's great wrongs |
| [01:30.440] |
Yes we thought that they were brothers |
| [01:32.960] |
Then they half-murdered each other |
| [01:35.620] |
Then they did a karaoke turn |
| [01:37.970] |
And murdered our best song |
| [01:39.800] |
|
| [01:40.630] |
Told the governor's wife |
| [01:42.370] |
About the last night of his life |
| [01:44.950] |
She turned away in tears |
| [01:46.860] |
Called you a liar |
| [01:49.530] |
Where are all the old dreams now? |
| [01:51.870] |
The batallion, once so proud |
| [01:54.770] |
Lost in some old song |
| [01:56.450] |
and hanging on the old barbedwire |
| [01:59.320] |
|
| [01:59.900][Chorus] |
|
| [02:00.700] |
Life could be so handsome |
| [02:05.270] |
It's so good to be okay |
| [02:10.640] |
We're going nowhere |
| [02:13.600] |
But nowhere |
| [02:17.310] |
nowhere's on our way |
| [02:20.710] |
|
| [02:28.860] |
The Libertines-Anthem for Doomed Youth |
| [02:35.670] |
|
| [02:44.830][Verse 3] |
|
| [02:47.040] |
Nowhere in the institutions |
| [02:49.240] |
Did they teach that revolution |
| [02:51.710] |
Was something that could ever |
| [02:53.470] |
come to pass |
| [02:56.230] |
Oh we tried one, once before |
| [02:58.520] |
Was the king's head on the floor |
| [03:00.710] |
And we got booted out the boozer |
| [03:03.410] |
Cause someone smashed the glass |
| [03:05.930] |
|
| [03:06.540][Chorus] |
|
| [03:07.130] |
Life could be so handsome |
| [03:11.810] |
Life could be okay |
| [03:16.720] |
We're going nowhere |
| [03:19.990] |
But nowhere |
| [03:23.910] |
nowhere's on our way |
| [03:27.450] |
|
| [03:30.930] |
Life could be so handsome |
| [03:35.660] |
It's all gonna be okay |
| [03:40.890] |
We're going nowhere |
| [03:43.900] |
Cause nowhere |
| [03:47.740] |
nowhere's on our way |
| [03:51.400] |
|
| [03:52.600] |
Nowhere's on our way |
| [03:58.090] |
