Love Ire And Song - Frank Turner

A teacher of mine once told me that life was just a list of

Disappointments and defeats and you could only do your best

And I said "Well that's a f**king cop out" you're just washed up

And you're tired and when I get to your age

Well I won't be such a coward

But these days I sit at home I'm known to shout at my TV

And punk rock didn't live up to what I'd hoped that it could be

And all the things that I believed with all my heart when I was young

Are just coasters for beers and clean surfaces for *** and

I've packed all my pamphlets with my Bibles at the back of the shelf

Well it was bad enough the feeling the first time it hit

When you realized your parents let the world all go to s**t

And that the values and ideals for which so many fought and died

Had been killed off in committees and left to die by the way side

But it was worse when we turned to the kids on the left

And got let down again by some poor excuse for protest

By idiot f**king hippies in fifty different factions

Locked inside some kind of sixties battle re-enactment

So I hung up my banners in disgust and I head for the door

Oh but once we were young and we were crass enough to care

But I guess you live and learn we won't make that mistake again

But surely just for one day we could fight and we could win

And if only for a little while we could insist on the impossible

Well we've been a good few hours drinking

So I'm going to say what everyone's thinking

If we're stuck on this ship and it's sinking

Then we might as well have a parade

Because if it's still going to hurt in the morning

And a better plan's yet to get forming

Then where's the harm spending

An evening in manning the old barricades

So come on old friends to the streets

Let's be 1905 but not 1917 let's be heroes

Let's be martyrs let's be radical thinkers

Who never have to test drive the least of their dreams

Let's divide up the world into the damned and the saved

And ride to the valley like the old Light Brigade

And straighten our backs and not be afraid

And they'll celebrate our deaths with a national parade

So come on let's be young let's be crass enough to care

Let's refuse to live and learn let's make all our mistakes again yes

And then darling just for one day we can fight and we can win

And if only for a little while we could insist on the impossible

Leave the morning to the morning pain can be killed

With aspirin tablets and vitamin pills

But memories of hope and of glorious defeat

Are a little bit harder to beat
