Babyshambles - Gang of Gin

[MyPatrickn]

All I can say is, fuck Alan McGee!

[MyPatrickn]

I want Patrick Walden back!!!

[JasySykes93]

SO UNDERRATED!

[trtjh6j]

Fuck Carl

[leopiguet]

@trtjh6j hahaha wtf man ? Pete did some of his greatest songs with the Libertines, with Carl. Why hating on him ? Iefinitely do not understand some people...

[dean24uk]

I'll tell you my story The treachery it bores me Carl and McGee both promised me It would not happen this way Carl is kept sedated The frontman elevated And McGee doing all he can to ruin my band And keep me out the way In this industry of fools Musclemen and ghouls If you're not a puppet or a muppet Then you might as well call it a day-ayay The truth here gets distorted The wall scrapings get snorted I'm welcome back if I give up crack But you gave me my first pipe anyway

[dean24uk]

1 person dont like gin ?...must be... cant not like this song...

(in a nut shell) i bought all your beautiful songs,

[dogman652]

Amazing band.

[hopton79]

The dislike is Alan McGee

[Thelibertinesfan1]

Love how the band is like only focuses on Pete. Can't blame people. He is a beautiful person. Just sayin' <3

[markryder86]

Peter at his destructive best, this was a good time in my life :)

[Cherry2891]

Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa­aawesome!

[Splitoneyoo]

PEFECT SOUND!

[RomieK123]

thought i'd get sentimental and listen to some of my old favourite songs.. brilliant song.

[HazelnutPohl]

First thing I ever heard of the Babyshambles. Reminds me of good, old times. It's just such a brilliant song :)

[Alex04041000]

love this song! Reminds me of the character The Artful Dodger

[crazyrussian123456]

i fuckin love this song! The boy Doherty is a genius!! Im one of the few people who prefer babyshambles to libertines (only just tho).

[riSOEzkisofreniko]

@crazyrussian123456 i prefer babyshambles to..

[1978cunt]

If your not a puppet or a muppet then you might as well call it a day...fuckin love the shambles...

[WrightMusicH]

@1978cunt Yer man for me it’s a sentence that encapsulates everything wrong with the music industry today.

When Pete sings the lyric puppet I imagine some virtually talentless X factor contestant smiling impishly after being told their next Tom Jones by Amender Holden.

And after the lyric muppet Peter Andre is all im getting.

[1978cunt]

one of the best babyshambles tunes ive heard...good pictures too

[tHaaTeRiiNGiiRl]

I don't think it was ever released for fear of legal action which is a shame, but you can download it. quality song!

[bevyk777]

LOVE this song to death.  The quiet and pretty mixed with the bursts of frustration and confusion - the music that actually sounds confused and frustrated as the feeling put behind the words! As good as it is, it's sad to hear these two friends that are cemented together at the heart - but hurt by eachother telling their feelings in their songs with their new bands. I guess that's what grabs us about them - raw emotion behind the songs that just so happen to sound GREAT!

[biggestlambertfan1]

I love this song. so f*in much. but please...somebody...WHERE CAN I BUY IT?!?! I SEARCHED EVERYWHERE ON ITUNES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[eepghd]

@biggestlambertfan1 I'll send it to you if you've still not got it :) Msg me with email.

[markaspag]

fucking awesome!

[monerawela]

the guitar is just hear and there, is a class song!

[ridingman1]

Where was this song released?

[internetsef]

who was gettin pally wiv the scally tho???

[imababyshark]

@internetsef yer mom mate, yer mom.

[Zoopersaz]

I love this brutal lyrics they show Peter's deepest feelings about the Libs. It's quite  naturally.

[moonbaby77]

this song is genious. one of those songs one wishes they'd have written themselves.

"The truth here gets distorted

The wall scrapings get snorted

I'm welcome back if I give up crack

But you gave me my first pipe anyway "

favorite part.=]

[FKalicePD]

this song is really great, it tooked me a long time before i heard it, i never seen it on a album. but i really like it!

[TheMultiOtherman]

Love this song, was one of the first that got me into babyshambles, after Kilamanjiro

[diaboloviolette]

Strangely, I never paid much attention to the words of this song, but they do sound like pure poetry, especially once read separately from the music.

[calumss]

on the kilamangiro EP

[IAMELECTROBOYYY]

There wasn't a Killamangiro EP was there?

I think there was a single but I'm pretty sure this wasn't on it.

[christopherburley]

@IAMELECTROBOYYY There was was a single. the B-side was the man who came to stay however gang of gin was meant to be the B-side side but Carl barat and Alan mcgee threatened Pete with legal action.

[lercha90]

is this song on an album?

[sofiadelockhart]

who gives a fuck. this song is amazing...x

[SlowDown101]

If Karl doesn't want to get back together I wonder if Pete could get Patrick Waldin to stand in for Karl?

[JO4KIM]

it's Carl* and libz are hopefully getting back together next year :d

[arcticmonkey113]

he might be able to, but i don't think it would be the same, i mean pete and carl are what make the libertines soo great. i read that carl says hes got too much going on next year for a libs reunion, but he said maybe in 2011

[SlowDown101]

You're right Karl and Pete played off each other in a special way. I don't think it would be the same. Imagine in one show 1st The Babyshambles then the headliners being The Libertines.

[arcticmonkey113]

that happened in may, at the rhythm factory, babyshambles played then pete said something like "we're gonna have a sort of intermission i want to bring on an old band now" and carl and john and gary walk on and the crowd goes nuts, jus type in on yourube "libertines reunion

[IanEllwood]

John wasnt there... drew replaced him!!!

[arcticmonkey113]

oh yeah your right, thanks :)

[arcticmonkey113]

*youtube* sorry lol

[dreamlandlover]

It's not like they all linger around Peter's feet, they have their own lives, their own reasons for not wanting to be in a band with him, and their own focuses.

[beagis]

probably the truth but hard

[1ratters]

elin says` its eeeeeeeeeees a geniussssss

[harrickey80]

he's a genius!

[PerHDK]

Brilliant. Love the lyrics.

[msDarling110]
