To Be a Libertine

I know what it means

To be a Libertine

I know what it means

To be a Libertine

Driven forgiven

Zero fucks given

I know what it means

To be a Libertine

Illuminated

Silver-plated

Abused misused

Forsaken and fated

I know what it means

To be a Libertine

Spat on

Shat on

Kept my

Hat on

I know what it means

To be a Libertine

Broken choking

Almost croaking

Look at me

I've come back smoking

I know what it means

To be a Libertine

Time for Heroes

Weird not weirdos

I know what it means

To be a Libertine

Do you love Albion

This fine nation

Hate boredom

Fear and desperation

I know what it means

To be a Libertine

[???]

Have you heard

The Rock & Roll?

Classless British

And no control

I know what it means

To be a Libertine

Something truthful

Something raw

Something worth

Living for

I know what it means

To be a Libertine

Obsessions redemptions

and our deepest confessions

I know what it means

To be a Libertine
