Belly Of The Beast - The Libertines

It was lost in a sound like this

Of times his mind told himself was bliss

Acoustical lullabies with all hell going on inside

It was a trench-coat top hat shotgun dog down day

It was a sound a bit like this

Trashy & blue with a blaggard’s hiss

Talking about gits love today

In a strung up hang dog head fuck quick buck way

Packed up and I headed East

Headed for the Belly of the Beast

But within a Bangkok’s half hour

I was way laid by a lower power

It was a smacked up cracked up bone shot smacked down day

Don’t know if I can go on

Making no sense songs

Don’t know if this is forever

It sometimes feels like forever

Forever in a dog down day

It was found in a state like this

By town and hammered up and a bloodied fist

His heart was broke but he got the jist

Get he can’t carry on like this

It was a blackjack, paddywhack, stick a brother in the back day

Back in London’s grey-scotch mist

Staring up at my therapist

He says pound for pound, blow for blow

You’re the most messed-up motherfucker I know

It was a 12 step bus fare knock down daycare day

Makes no odds that you’re there

Makes no odds that you care

Makes no odds anymore

Forever in a dog down

Forever in a dog down day

Don’t know if I can go on

Making no sense songs

Forever in a dog down day

Is this failing?

Supposed to be plain sailing

Don’t fade away

Don’t fade away

Glory Hallelujah day!

Glory Hallelujah day!
