My god, this is AWFUL. I'm not doing a trolling post, and I like some Libertines records...but this is a self-indulgent coke-induced mess. And they sound bloody awful.
Remember, rock'n'roll is a pantomime. Dress up, but don't forget yourself.
I KNEW a simple soldier boy Who grinned at life in empty joy, Slept soundly through the lonesome dark, And whistled early with the lark. In winter trenches, cowed and glum, With crumps and lice and lack of rum, He put a bullet through his brain. No one spoke of him again. You smug-faced crowds with kindling eye Who cheer when soldier lads march by, Sneak home and pray you'll never know The hell where youth and laughter go.
