Get Thee To A Nunnery is a rare Libertines song. The only known recording comes from a live bootleg of a gig that Peter Doherty did acoustically at "Jazz after Dark", where he was playing old material that he did not think was worthy of a proper release. The song title is a quote from the shakespearean play, "Hamlet" ('Get thee to a nunn'ry, why woulds't thou be a breeder of sinners?').

An Appollo city lovely one who
oh never loved another
like you loved her mother
oh be careful
she's got a harder brother
you sent the little jibe you sent her sent her a long way
and I been tellin' the tiny things that you say
oh my boy you'd better pray
get thee to a nunnery
Apocalyptic lovely one who
ah she never loved another like you
like you loved her mother
now be careful
her heart's not made of rubber
get thee to a nunnery
