Love on the dole


Verse1
How many cups of wine will I have consumed?
The people realise they have rolled past my tomb
We're drinking whisky in a brave new afternoon
The people realise they have rolled past my tomb

Prechorus
Strike a light
Raise your glasses
Drink a toast to the boring classes

Chorus
On the Albion-ay
Spew it out your soul
Love is on the dole
And there she will stay
All night long we were singing Northern songs
All night long we were singing Northern songs

Verse2
Only you battered your broken nose on the grindstone
You wake a slave you squandered
So your soul is not your own
I run from the dust and gloom
With only my secrets to keep me warm
That's all I could do to keep them from you
And its all a pact we swore

prechorus2
Strike a light
Raise your glasses
Drink a toast to the boring classes

chorus2
With Albion-ay
Spew it out your soul
Love is on the dole
And there she will stay

All night long we were singing Northern songs
All night long we were singing Northern songs

bridge
And I love every inch of you
Yes I do love every single inch of you
But doesn't she get that warm glow inside?
Shoots up your spine and blows through your mind
Oh well, don't you tell me how blessed are the poor
You've always wanted one slice more
Than you and me
Love for today makes

verse3
My darling was a preacher on the Albion stage
She might have been a preacher in the good old days
We're drinking whisky in a brave new afternoon
Don't people realise they've rolled past my tomb

bridge2
Oh well
Don't you tell me how blessed are the meek
You never turn the other cheek
Once in your life
Love is on the dole

Thank you because you correct this lyrics
 
The lyrics LOVE ON THE DOLE of THE LIBERTINES is also present in the album Legs 11 (2001)

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.
