pete wrote this with carl, hence its brilliance, look for libertines 'chicken shack sesions' and there is a raw recording of some libs stuff, one song is this which is incredible, i prefer this polished version though, these sesions also include one of the first songs pete and carl wrote together, 'pay the lay' there worth checking out, if your into the libs:)
kilamangiro should have been on down an albion its a classic and its bewtter than songs like merry go round pete amazing but even he must admit this one should have been on down an albion if not shotters nation
it's about pete you idiots. a version of himself - brought about by drugs and living a shallow rockstar existence etc - 'came to stay' and took over his life. he no longer recognises himself. it's actually a very sad song. x

Killamangiro IS on down in Albion.
This song is the B side to Killamangiro - hence why the video is called 'The Man Who Came to Stay'!
