[lucajuilliard]

The best song of pete doherty <3

[parisianna87]

...mind,mind partly because im justin beiber, can, you stop listening to this please.

[marcov64]

I hate Pete Doherty.

I can't stop listening to this song.

Just can't stop.

I love this song.

I love Pete Doherty.

[Berlinsolek]

schön......

[kevinwhite1989]

:)

[h1a1l1l1o]

nice use of optical flares ;)

[MissHypnoticEyez]

Where did real music like this go?

[N30N94]

@MissHypnoticEyez It's been shunned aside by people like Lady Gaga and Justin Beiber, who's team of people are against guitar based music and will literally use every instrument but a guitar. People like that love the Rock and Roll image, but will use guitars as props. it's a crying shame really, that people who are so against real music get to dictate what we hear on our radios.

[whatawasterah]

this song is fuckin' amazing

[jsnfvionw]

@barnabyfox well really it's up to you. you can pick what u are you can pick to be irish through decent or you can pick birth place but really you are british

[union1872]

such a complex character!

shame!

[RevStash]

such a beautiful irish song love it

[RevStash]

this is a irish song from the old school love it

[LittleFairyy]

the first part of the instrumental at the beginning of this song reminds me a little bit of the one of 'can't stand me now' by the libertines

[LikelyLad97]

@LittleFairyy Reminds me of 'Music When The Lights go Out'.

[LittleFairyy]

@LikelyLad97 ohhhhhhhhhhh... i actually MEANT 'music when the lights go out' :D but i was thinking of 'can't stand me now' in some other context and that's why i wrote it. do you know what i mean? when you have something in mind while you're writing something else and you write down what you're thinking :D that's weird...

[DaithimacSionnach]

Gwan Doherty toakes an Irishman (by blood) to sing a proper english song, god knows we 'd be waiting if it was left down to the homogenous type

[slamglam100]

fuckin love this...Pete wrote this song partly backstage at the Rythymn Factory!

[laurin555]

pete is such a gift to the world

[jimmyvirtue]

down in galstonbury clean up crew 2010 yeah big one make it ....

[Gaviathan]

Wicked stuff,Fived and Faved.

Peace

[skogtroll88]

God bless Doherty...

[shallowsouls25]

Should be the national anthem.

[belgiumhxc]

Peter is a fucking genius ...

[milshahi]

cant wait for his new album ... should be great!!!

[InvernessStokie]

Anyone know when Pete's solo album comes out ?

[thegorb99]

march the 5th mate

[stonerose86]

possibly the best song ever, such poignant lyrics personally it rivals adored-stone roses and imagine-lennon

[DerowEgen]

they should have but a little more effort in producing it. could have become the new 'imagine'

[omnomnomnom101]

Shut up..

[Jasomja1]

damn right!

[xMangoDiaox]

he keeps me being impressed for each time i'm listening to his lyrics...

[bachelorer]

our god smokes and takes drogs :D

[32ndlibertine]

hahah well said!

[anton1284]

pete doherty is god!

[poturich]

great song

[Westy91]

This live at the secc was soo ace ! They should have put the harmonica in the released version in my opinion.

Pete Doherty is a legend with Libertines and Babyshambles.

[Vepsebol66]

greatest band ever!

[ceaszxcv]

no libertines were

[Vepsebol66]

oh, yes, i'm sorry. but babyshambles is awfully close.

[pwei34]

This is the first Doherty song whos lyrics Ive checked out. It has a touch of the Kinks about it, surprisingly good. But if you want to know the truth about Pete Doherty check out Amy MacDonald's "Poison Prince".

[sodacakeblues]

You understate this song. It is an all-time classic. The Kinks were classic, but this even goes beyond Ray Davis' greatest achievements. It is anthem of the underclass - (even though the majority of them probably still don't know it).

[ShambolicSwinny]

what do you mean by 'the truth'??

Isn't she just someone else trying to make money outta Pete Doherty??

[heroinexmary]

is it kate with Pete in 3:14? At the river?

[smartalec247]

looks it dunnit.

[channell129]

hagaflag ur a twat not everyone tht dus drugs is a junkie man u need to get shot

[floengland]

Yeah, and you're a fucking guy

[Andre3614]

Pete Doherty is the most talented english musician since The Beatles...

[portocervo1973]

agree

[remembernoah]

I agree with you, too! Pete Doherty is the greatest!

[heroinexmary]

indeed

[harryspoonpotter]

im sorry wat about jonny marr, all of the stone roses, richard ashcroft, nick drake, morrisey, carl barat (equal with), alex turner, kurt cobain. im nt sayin he aint talented, he's ritten some great songs, ubt i just can't get past the fact he dusnt sing too gr8. with barats gr8 voixce, the libertines had the perfect package of tunes lyrics and vocals. was a team effort. neither babyshambles or dpt r as gd. im nt bashin petes talent tho. jast think maybe people think hes a bit better than heis

[Vepsebol66]

i didn't understand one word you wrote. or maybe a couple, but not much.

[ctj121]

i love you

[maddogmccaff2007]

what a tune...fuckin minted

[Onlyoubeatch]

OMG ! I love this music !

I love Peter's voice . . .

Love babyshambels and the libertines ! :)

[xxshaz8xx]

love pete xxx

[thiblecapi]

0:30 Pete is smokin a joint

[hagaflag]

and...

[thiblecapi]

Thats all, hes smokin a joint, no intellectual interest in it, i just noticed and i wrote it, thats all, i agree with you, it's useless, but if everythin we made had to be useful, i would leave this sad world as fast as possible.

So, pete had a j in his hand and thats it, nothin special, i bet that he was not the only one doin it at that moment, maybe you were doin da same, maybe i was doin the same, and lots of people are doin the same, and doin other things, it's just life, probably useless.

[hagaflag]

no actually i wasnt doin the same, coz i dont do tht shit, i dont touch drugs and maybe u were but tht is only coz ur a fuckin junkie and need to be shot,

thanks cant wait!

[thiblecapi]

so come down and shoot me then, if that's all i deserve.

[hagaflag]

will do!

[joshk1231]

lighten up and get some friends buddy

[cocainebiscuit1990]

PETE VOICE <3

[StylishGirlInTheRiot]

Simply beautiful.

Really. And Peter, of course, is a legend.

[TheOnlyGreenGerkin]

Good song but i reckon it could be remixed better

[ZocaH78]

Pete is a legend. Pure poetry this has got to be one of, if not my favourite song of his. Did a cover version of it myself but doesnt touch Pete with a barge pole.

Still, showing my appreciation cant hurt eh.

[LizardMixture]

amazing song.. pete surely is a poet, but still.. i miss him with carl :/ they made such a earth shattering team

[AnnaAlm]

kingaidanIII: No I don´t think so, this might be the best song in the world !!

:D

[kingaidanIII]

is there a better song in the world?

[CathP89]

Maybe only "Gang of gin" ;)

[thathitsthemark]

Just goes to show, anyone with ability to mumble rhyme and strum a guitar can achieve mediocrity.

[ehbez1]

amazing tune this...

[DaKadda]

I can't explain what I feel when I listen to this song... Simply... *sigh* <3

[hammerbox00]

albion!!!

[croberts]

Seeing him at Benicassim in July.

Cant wait!

[Tornado707]

this man is truley sensational he will go farr . Many say hes a druggy bt look at other top artist :jimmy hendrix.

[nirvana925]

i hope he doesnt go down the road jimi, kurt, janis, elvis or jim went down cause that would be a sad ending.

[midbusker]

Im 52 so a bit old hat but I know good lyrics and music when I hear it. hes deff got something that Doherty and its good song to play on me guitar

[smartalec247]

52? on youtube? paedophile.

[midbusker]

well i didnt know there was an age limit on Youtube but there you go. What did you do in a former life a foot soldier with the Nazi party v prob.Doesnt it make you proud to be on the same planet as folk like that haha

[smartalec247]

HAHA

[reece122]

i love this song thats all there is to it you just can't compare it =]

[nzToonBarmy]

Pure Genious, best artist to come out of England since Liam Gallagher

[smartalec247]

I think ull find noel is the better artist out the gallaghers. liam is just a good front man.

[SomewhereEls3]

No words :)<3

[kanter99]

pete is definitely the best no comment... you are lucky english people to have great artists like that keep them

vive les anglais go england!

[MASTERLUIGI20]

[Leadyff]

fucking amazing song and great quitars. one of Pete's best.

[david5491]

no albion means britian.

[westhamfc90]

love this song, even my dog comes at sits next to my leg when i play this song lol

i know its such a cliche now, but doherty is a legend.

[girlbandxxx]

does anyone know what albion means ? i probable sound stupid asking

[patrickpipedown]

i feel like i should answer this but i only got a D1 in honours english, ill let some buding poet put it better. but its as easy as this its the same as arcadia

[davidforde1]

Albion is just a more poetic word for England - Basically the song is about England. What england stands for and is about.Cant believe he wrote it when he was 16(just the lyrics)

Thats why he always sings about the good ship albion sailing to arcadia(Poets paradise)all the time

Hope it helps!

[JJTFFF]

The song is about how he had to move a lot when he was younger, because of his dads work in the army.

So as David said, it's about England.

[ConTroLLeD1]

Fantastic lyrics

[Oo5WoO]

i like the video! =)

[sam2391]

Pete Doherty is the best lyricist and songwriter in the world in my opinion. I love his lyrics they are meaningful unlike most lyrics these days!

[samirelhusny]

fantastic!

[smartalec247]

blokes' got skillz.

[dopamine83]

very nostalgic

[kennyf93]

wow, i figured that pete doherty and babyshambles were only famous cause hes a drug addict and fucked that kate chick, but there actually a good band

[mindsetfilms]

[RachelJadeSots]
