The Libertines The Good Old Days 歌词


If Queen Bodecia is long dead and gone.
Well the spirit in her children's children's children still lives on
And if Elvis he was the King had his piece of the pie
Well now his century's over I'm having mine*
But if you've lost your faith in love and music the end won't be long.
Cos if it's gone for you then I too may lose it and that would be wrong.
You know I've tried so hard to keep myself from falling back into my bad old ways
And it chars my heart to always hear you calling
Calling for the good old days
Because there were no 'good old days'
These are the good old days

And it's not about tenements and needles
and all the evils in their eyes and the backs of their minds.
Daisy chains and school-yard games
and a list of things we said we'd do tomorrow.
A list of things we said we'd do tomorrow.

The Arcadian dream has fallen through
But the Albion sails on course
So man the decks and hoist the rigging
Because the pigmans found the source
And there's twelve rude boys on the oars
(they're singing 'row row row')

*The last two lines of this verse are only sung when they perform live, these lyrics are written in the booklet but for some reason are not sung in the album version.

Alternate lyrics:
Babyshambles Sessions NY 2003

Arcadia's dream's all fallen through
but the Albion has no remorse
'cause she was born outside the lights in a graveyard blue

next line is mumbly and disputed:

I was born under the porch
OR
I was born under(neath) the oars
OR
I was born in the north
OR
I was born under the moon

Row, row, row, row, row
Speak, my love, speak

At the Dirty Pretty Things performance at Carling Academy,
Birmingham, 26.11.06, Carl changed

but the Albion sails on course

to

but I'm still holding on
