Lyrics Peter Doherty – Shoreleave

I never lost control
‘Cause I never had control
Can’t lose control
If you don’t have control

Word came down to surrender
Couldn’t hold the line anymore
Was attacked from every side and more
Captain Quigeley said to Sergeant Bigeley
Said death and destruction stalking the shore
And men were sick with the woe of war

I was too much in the sun
With no protection
Meanwhile in the mirror
Saw Captain Digeley talk to Sergeant Bigeley
He said ‘Sir what are we fighting for?’
The captain wasn’t sure

Je suis désolé is all
Désolé is all
Désolé is all
Désolé is all
Je suis désolé is all

And you reach the end, go back along the story
Changed disgrace to adventure
Changed boring to glory
Well you reach the end, go back along the story
Changed disgrace to adventure
Changed boring to glory
Changed boring to glory

Je suis désolé is all
Désolé is all

Reach the end, go back along the story
Changed disgrace to adventure
Changed boring to glory
Well you reach the end, back along the story
Changed disgrace to adventure
Changed boring to glory
You reach the end, now trace it back along the story
Disgrace becomes adventure
Boring becomes glory
