The Libertines, in some form or other, started life as Carlos Barât (guitars and vocals) and Peter Doherty (guitars and vocals) way back in 1996. They were aiming to be the best band in the world. They weren't quite there. Hailing from the East End of London, the cockney two-some were writing loads and loads of songs and playing acoustic gigs in London pubs. Years passed, with friends and bassists and drummers coming and going, but it wasn't until 2001 that things started to kick off. Carl and Pete were joined by bassist John Hassall and drummer Gary Powell to form The Libertines that everyone knows and loves. Equipped with a manager, Banny, and record deal on one of the biggest independent labels, Rough Trade, The Libertines were hailed as one of the best new b More... (Submit New The Libertines Lyrics) (Submit New The Libertines Lyrics) Review about The Libertines What its REALLY about | Reviewer: daz ------ About the song What Katie Did performed by The Libertines This song is clearly about heroin, but what Pete did, the lyrical genius, also wrote it in reference to the novel "What Katy Did". Brown is slang for heroin, when he says "Hurry up Mrs. Brown" he means he needs more heroin because he's coming down from his high, "I can feel it coming down". Also he talks about how he's dependant on heroin when he says that "Safety Pins" or needles hold his life together. And what jennyluvbug said about the polka dots, I never knew that. I think the whole song is him just waiting for his next fix great | Reviewer: Anonymous ------ About the song What A Waster performed by The Libertines this is a great song! i wouldn't even begin to compare pete doherty to oscar wilde (whoever mentioned that one), but he is a really brilliant song writer and musician! him and carl together make an amazing band! love the libs! | Reviewer: libertinenina ------ About the song Albion performed by The Libertines yeey..great to see this one among the libertines´ songs where it should be..as the babyshambles version is a cover. a great one though.i just miss the libertines.neither babyshambles or dirty pretty things comes close to what the libertines was.a beautiful dream of music. The world kicked back a lot fuckin' harder... | Reviewer: Anonymous ------ About the song Can't Stand Me Now performed by The Libertines I love this song. I've seen Dirty Pretty Things & Pete Doherty Live and I wish I could see The Libertines, I am hoping for a reunion so much!! The rawness off this song is amazing, one of the reasons why I love The Libertines. The lyrics and vocals are always just so raw and beautiful. so sad | Reviewer: mana ------ About the song What Became Of The Likely Lads performed by The Libertines this song is brilliant, but it's so sad, just for the story behind it. I also wanted to point out something to everyone here arguing about who wrote it. From Peter's old forum posts, October 25th, 2003: "Biggles walking round delirious still, singing a great new song, something about 'likely lads' or so." Clearly Carl was the one who wrote it, considering Peter didn't even know what it was yet when Carl was walking around singing it. Of course, that doesn't mean they didn't polish the lyrics together. I think it plainly tells both perspectives, I just thought I would show that bit of evidence to prevent future arguments. Of course Pete wrote this | Reviewer: Anonymous ------ About the song Can't Stand Me Now performed by The Libertines Uh, Pete did write quite a bit of this, haven't you seen the Newsnight interview? It's credited to Doherty, Barat, and Hammerton (Keds) on the album that Pete had no control over the lyric credits on. Genius | Reviewer: libs ------ About the song Tell The King performed by The Libertines such an amazing song, lyrics are beautiful, one of my fave libs songs, also, to Ghazi below, it is carl who says "got a little secret for ya" at the beginning, and also in "the man who would be king" which is like this song's cousin on their second album. Lewd comments on sing365.com | Reviewer: Cheap tart ------ About the song Albion performed by The Libertines I read it. I'm offended. I'm very happy, though, that you call the Babyshambles version a 'cover.' Serves it right. And this seems to be the only place that lists 'coffee wallahs' and not 'wallows' which I think is right. A wallah was like a protector, wasn't it? Like those colonial Englishmen dressing up in suits and playing cricket in the boiling jungle just so they wouldn't lose their Englishness... Tune | Reviewer: kieran ------ About the song What Became Of The Likely Lads performed by The Libertines One of the best bands of my generation. Garage indie revival and it was great because of how short the band lasted. how much they did in so little time beautiful. plus for the record this song was written by carl barat. just to let you know. a song about pete and carls amazing friendship love it Get with the program | Reviewer: Anonymous ------ About the song Can't Stand Me Now performed by The Libertines Just for the record, this song was written by Carl Barat & Mark Keds who used to sing with the Senseless Things. Pete Doherty had nothing to do with the writing of this song! Mark Keds is friends with Barat and also a former heroin addict. Doherty's relationship with Carl may have influenced the lyrics but Pete had no part in the writing of this song or lyrics Wow | Reviewer: music lover ------ About the song Up The Bracket performed by The Libertines Amazing song/album. Pete has got to be on of the best song writers since John Lennon. Libertines Re-Unite! Long live pete and carl etc. and Dirty Pretty Things are not too shabby considering no Pete Wardsy | Reviewer: Anonymous ------ About the song Up The Bracket performed by The Libertines London girl this song is from there first album which is named after this very song title, It was written way before kate moss and pete had there fling, as was the song "what katie did" it was just coinsidence <<(cant spell) The babyshambles album shotters nation however has a shit load of songs that are clearly about her Libertine | Reviewer: Anonymous ------ About the song Music when the lights go out performed by The Libertines It's not about Carl.. i read that book Petes mum wrote about him. In it she talks about how touched and impressed she was by this song Pete wrote. Pete had phoned her up and asked her to listen to this song he had just written called "i no longer hear the music" he said it had written for a girl he was breaking up with. terrific song | Reviewer: kingleon 99 ------ About the song Can't Stand Me Now performed by The Libertines Hi guys i just wanna say this song has to be at least in the top ten from all the bests songs ever and im talking top ten indie rock music ok. This song is simply the best it has something that makes ne feel like goosebumps at listening it anyways great song love this band A genius.. | Reviewer: shahnaz ------ About the song The Man Who Would Be King performed by The Libertines I didn't know just how much of a genius Pete doherty was until I started listening to his music. Its sad that he has a public image that doesn't do justice to his creativity. The libertines need to come back and reunite coz they were the best!! Pete | Reviewer: A Libertine ------ About the song What A Waster performed by The Libertines Quote "you people look at this man as a genius or a poet because either you dont read poetry yourselves or you dont understand poetry...(or youve started trying to read/understand it because pete likes it) but compared to lets say oscar wilde/keats/yeats/blake...dohertys words are so simple and normal and noway near genius." Quote This is totally true. BUT I think Pete Doherty its one of the goodest songs writer. Meaning | Reviewer: Luke ------ About the song Music when the lights go out performed by The Libertines The song is definitely about a relationship when you lose 'that' feeling. It's not about Pete and Carl's relationship breaking down. The lyrics are clear enough but I have also read Jackie Doherty's book which confims it! Who Cares? | Reviewer: Anonymous ------ About the song What Became Of The Likely Lads performed by The Libertines Rhys, Mise & Lee, I agree with you. It's a wonderful inspirational song. Well t`is for me. Why argue over it? Who cares who wrote the lyrics or who think's what. It's an amazing song. Nuff said. this song is a pure masterpiece | Reviewer: Linnea ------ About the song Time For Heroes performed by The Libertines I never get tired of this song. It just floats on and so sing-along-friendly, yet you never seem to learn the lyrics. The Libertines was such a great band, and Up The Bracket is definitely one of the greatest albums ever made. I wish Libertines hadn't ended like they did. Neither Babyshambles or Dirty Pretty Things comes quite close to what The Libertines was. I love this song | Reviewer: jess ------ About the song Music when the lights go out performed by The Libertines I can listen so many times everyday, cause its just whats going on in my life right now... i was in love with my bfriend and now i am just not anymore... :( i feel sad and sorry, i hoped it would be forever.
