[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]
