Glory Days is the title of the debut single by Carl Barât and his new band, The Jackals. The track was also released as track #1 on their debut album, Let It Reign, released on Cooking Vinyl in the UK/Europe and Grand Jury in the U.S. Its release was announced as Carl was just about to embark on three sold out shows at London’s Alexandra Palace with The Libertines (26th September 2014).
The track is available for an initial period as a Free Download. It was recorded in LA with guest musician and Beastie Boys percussionist, Alfredo Ortiz and was produced by Joby Ford of The Bronx.
The music video for the single is made in memoriam of the 306 British & Commonwealth soldiers shot for desertion during the Great War. Some of these men were blameless due to severe psychological trauma, not cowardice, that rendered them physically unable to cope with the horrific scenes they had witnessed. The video was directed by Roger Sargent and features a cameo appearance by Baxter Dury as “The General.”

That wasn't thunder, or a shot across the bows
That was blood, my friend, and you're in for it now
When the whip cracks, that's your calling card
For your brothers and the boys doing press-ups in the yard
Glory days, glory days
You threw them all away
You should have known better
You should have known better
When the cock crows at the break of dawn
It should be crying freedom, but it's nothing but a yawn
Don't touch me - you're a marked man now
You can say goodbye to the last gang in town
Glory days, glory days
You threw them all away
You should have known better
You should have known better
And I told your girl we wished you were there
There were hands everywhere, she was too drunk to care
And we miss you, when we're out on the town
While you're doing yours at the pleasure of the crown
And the victim of what you did
Was just talked out of a suicide bid
And the girls scream, "you'll get yours yet!"
We all saw the footage, it was up on the net
Glory days, glory days
You threw them all away
You should have known better
You better forget her
Glory days, glory days
You threw them all away
You should have known better
You should have known better
