[ti:Love Ire And Song] [ar:Frank Turner] [al:Love Ire & Song] [by:] [offset:0] [00:00.00]Love Ire And Song - Frank Turner (法兰克·透纳) [00:18.04]A teacher of mine once told me that life was just a list of [00:22.47]Disappointments and defeats and you could only do your best [00:25.96]And I said "Well that's a f**king cop out" you're just washed up [00:29.47]And you're tired and when I get to your age [00:32.22]Well I won't be such a coward [00:34.15]But these days I sit at home I'm known to shout at my TV [00:38.21]And punk rock didn't live up to what I'd hoped that it could be [00:41.89]And all the things that I believed with all my heart when I was young [00:45.95]Are just coasters for beers and clean surfaces for drugs and [00:49.69]I've packed all my pamphlets with my Bibles at the back of the shelf [00:55.38] [01:09.92]Well it was bad enough the feeling the first time it hit [01:13.60]When you realized your parents let the world all go to shit [01:17.72]And that the values and ideals for which so many fought and died [01:21.65]Had been killed off in committees and left to die by the way side [01:25.65]But it was worse when we turned to the kids on the left [01:29.33]And got let down again by some poor excuse for protest [01:33.63]By idiot f**king hippies in fifty different factions [01:37.56]Locked inside some kind of sixties battle re-enactment [01:41.50]So I hung up my banners in disgust and I head for the door [01:47.55] [01:49.42]Oh but once we were young and we were crass enough to care [01:57.03]But I guess you live and learn we won't make that mistake again [02:03.32] [02:05.32]But surely just for one day we could fight and we could win [02:12.56]And if only for a little while we could insist on the impossible [02:21.35]Well we've been a good few hours drinking [02:24.97]So I'm going to say what everyone's thinking [02:28.97]If we're stuck on this ship and it's sinking [02:32.59]Then we might as well have a parade [02:37.16]Because if it's still going to hurt in the morning [02:40.84]And a better plan's yet to get forming [02:45.10]Then where's the harm spending [02:47.34]An evening in manning the old barricades [02:54.96]So come on old friends to the streets [02:57.96]Let's be 1905 but not 1917 let's be heroes [03:03.89]Let's be martyrs let's be radical thinkers [03:07.02]Who never have to test drive the least of their dreams [03:11.20]Let's divide up the world into the damned and the saved [03:14.96]And ride to the valley like the old Light Brigade [03:18.95]And straighten our backs and not be afraid [03:22.82]And they'll celebrate our deaths with a national parade [03:26.36]So come on let's be young let's be crass enough to care [03:34.22]Let's refuse to live and learn let's make all our mistakes again yes [03:42.40]And then darling just for one day we can fight and we can win [03:50.07]And if only for a little while we could insist on the impossible [03:58.43] [04:01.24]Leave the morning to the morning pain can be killed [04:05.93]With aspirin tablets and vitamin pills [04:08.80] [04:09.73]But memories of hope and of glorious defeat [04:13.66]Are a little bit harder to beat
