Carl Barât, The Jackals - Glory Days lyrics

That wasn't thunder
Or a shot across the bows
That was blood, my friend
And you're in for it now
When the whip cracks
That's your calling card
For your brothers and the boys
Doing press-ups in the yard

Glory days, glory days
You threw them all away
You should have known better
You should have known better

When the cock crows at the break of dawn
It should be crying freedom
But it's nothing but a yawn
Don't touch me - you're a marked man now
You can say goodbye to the last gang in town

Glory days, glory days
You threw them all away
You should have known better
You should have known better

Glory days, glory days
You threw them all away
You should have known better
You should have known better

And I told your girl we wished you were there
There were hands everywhere
She was too drunk to care
And we miss you, when we're out on the town
While you're doing yours at the
Pleasure of the crown

And the victim of what you did
Was just talked out of a suicide bid
And the girls scream, "you'll get yours yet!"
We all saw the footage, it was up on the net

Glory days, glory days
You threw them all away
You should have known better
You better forget her

Glory days, glory days
You threw them all away
You should have known better
You should have known better
