Anthem for doomed youth


Here's a story about the rules of death or glory
To be learned by heart by all children of men
It's the hour of the morning on the day after the dawning
When the sun they said would never set finally set again
Was it Cromwell or Orwell who first led you to the stairwell
Which leads only forever to kingdom come
Rushed along by guiding hands whispers of the promised land
They wished you luck and handed you a gun

Life could be so handsome
Life could be so gay
We're going nowhere
But nowhere, nowhere's on our way

In the pub that night
Racking out the lines of shite
Putting to right
All of the world's great wrongs
Yes we thought that they were brothers
Then they half-murdered each other
Then they did a karaoke turn
And murdered our best song

Told the governor's wife
About the last night of his life
She turned away in tears
Called you a liar
Where are all the old dreams now?
The batallions, once so proud
Lost in some old song and hanging on the old barbedwire

Life could be so handsome
It's all gonna be okay
We're going nowhere
But nowhere, nowhere's on our way

Nowhere in the institutions
Did they teach that revolution
Was something that could ever come to pass
Oh we tried one, once before
Was the king's head on the floor
And we got booted out the boozer
Cause someone smashed the glass

Life could be so handsome
Life could be okay
We're going nowhere
But nowhere, nowhere's on our way

Life could be so handsome
It's all gonna be okay
We're going nowhere
Cause nowhere, nowhere's on our way

Nowhere's on our way

Thank you because you correct this lyrics

Biografia

The Libertines are an English indie rock band formed in London in 1997. The original lineup consisted of Pete Doherty (vocals, guitar), Carl Barat (guitar, vocals), John Hassall (bass) and Gary Powell (drums). The band achieved success with their self-titled debut album in 2002, characterized by an energetic sound that blended garage rock, punk revival and pop melodies. Among their most notable songs are "Time for Heroes", "Can't Stand Me Now" and "Don't Look Back into the Sun". After a series of internal and personal problems, including those related to Doherty's alcoholism and drug use, The Libertines disbanded in 2005. In 2010, the band announced a reunion with the release of the album "Anthems for Doomed Youth", followed by a world tour. In 2014 they released their third studio album, "The Libertines". The band is considered one of the most influential in the British indie rock movement of the 2000s.
