Carl Barât - Glory Days lyrics

It 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 co*k 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 (x2) And we told your girl you 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'd better forget her Glory days, glory days, You threw them all away, You should have known better, You should have known better
