Love Ire And Song - Frank Turner[00:00:00]

A teacher of mine once told me that life was just a list of[00:00:18]

Disappointments and defeats and you could only do your best[00:00:22]

And I said "Well that's a f**king cop out" you're just washed up[00:00:25]

And you're tired and when I get to your age[00:00:29]

Well I won't be such a coward[00:00:32]

But these days I sit at home I'm known to shout at my TV[00:00:34]

And punk rock didn't live up to what I'd hoped that it could be[00:00:38]

And all the things that I believed with all my heart when I was young[00:00:41]

Are just coasters for beers and clean surfaces for drugs and[00:00:45]

I've packed all my pamphlets with my Bibles at the back of the shelf[00:00:49]

Well it was bad enough the feeling the first time it hit[00:01:09]

When you realized your parents let the world all go to shit[00:01:13]

And that the values and ideals for which so many fought and died[00:01:17]

Had been killed off in committees and left to die by the way side[00:01:21]

But it was worse when we turned to the kids on the left[00:01:25]

And got let down again by some poor excuse for protest[00:01:29]

By idiot f**king hippies in fifty different factions[00:01:33]

Locked inside some kind of sixties battle re-enactment[00:01:37]

So I hung up my banners in disgust and I head for the door[00:01:41]

Oh but once we were young and we were crass enough to care[00:01:49]

But I guess you live and learn we won't make that mistake again[00:01:57]

But surely just for one day we could fight and we could win[00:02:05]

And if only for a little while we could insist on the impossible[00:02:12]

Well we've been a good few hours drinking[00:02:21]

So I'm going to say what everyone's thinking[00:02:24]

If we're stuck on this ship and it's sinking[00:02:28]

Then we might as well have a parade[00:02:32]

Because if it's still going to hurt in the morning[00:02:37]

And a better plan's yet to get forming[00:02:40]

Then where's the harm spending[00:02:45]

An evening in manning the old barricades[00:02:47]

So come on old friends to the streets[00:02:54]

Let's be 1905 but not 1917 let's be heroes[00:02:57]

Let's be martyrs let's be radical thinkers[00:03:03]

Who never have to test drive the least of their dreams[00:03:07]

Let's divide up the world into the damned and the saved[00:03:11]

And ride to the valley like the old Light Brigade[00:03:14]

And straighten our backs and not be afraid[00:03:18]

And they'll celebrate our deaths with a national parade[00:03:22]

So come on let's be young let's be crass enough to care[00:03:26]

Let's refuse to live and learn let's make all our mistakes again yes[00:03:34]

And then darling just for one day we can fight and we can win[00:03:42]

And if only for a little while we could insist on the impossible[00:03:50]

Leave the morning to the morning pain can be killed[00:04:01]

With aspirin tablets and vitamin pills[00:04:05]

But memories of hope and of glorious defeat[00:04:09]

Are a little bit harder to beat[00:04:13]
