Hooray for the 21st century - The Libertines

Every sweet little lie ever whispered to you now rings true

No need to wake the sleeping dogs when they'll just turn on you

I'll make my way instead to the foot of your ivory tower

But no love do I find there amongst the leaves and the dying flowers...



What be came of the love we knew?

Beat the swing black and blue

You and I and me and you

What became of the love we knew?

What became of the love we knew?



The Thames and The Mersey, The Tyne and The Wye and The Clyde

They spew slums like gravy on the banks of the poisonous tide

They washed up a pale thin girl alone in her ivory tower

Scratching her skin with the thorns that grow on the steams of the wild flowers



What became of the love we knew?

Beat the swing black and blue

You and I and me and you

What became of the love we knew?

What became of the work class?

Nikey, Reebok. Adidas, Scratchcards, Tipples, Ecstacy

Hooray for the twenty first century

Living in a looking glass

As the beauty of life goes by

Your going to be old

Your going to be so old

Your skins so cold
