The Libertines accepting the award for Best British Band at the NME Awards 2004
I knew a simple soldier boy
Who grinned through life in empty joy,
Slept soundly through the lonesome dark,
And whistled early with the lark.
And in winter trenches, cowed and glum, with crumps and lice and lack of rum,
He put a bullet through his brain. And then no one spoke of him again.
You smug-faced crowds with kindling eye
Who cheer as soldier lads march by,
Sneak home and pray you’ll never know the hell where youth and laughter go.
