can't stand me now-the libertines with lyrics

[slammantha]

Peter was the main man, where are any of the others now?? He should be given medical grade heroin, no crack and we might get to have him around for a few more decades

[CarEdy23]

@slammantha he wasnt the main man, maybe he was on babyshambles but not on libertines and definetly not on this song

[plzhealme]

Anyone who was in a shit, yet beautiful, relationship can relate to the lyrics.

[ratlover35]

damn, one of his front teeth is really fucked up huh?

good song though, why aren't there pictures of the other band members?

[MrSkidm4rk]

@ratlover35 cuz everyone loves a smack head more apparently.

[Sugiands34]

0:15 WTF??? Kids don't fucking do this at home !!!

[black3and3white]

Oh God how I love english akcent

[erinmcmullan]

The libertines are gods <3

[sarahsurpapier]

[L1BRA93]

FUCCCCCKKKKKKKKKKK YEAAAAAAHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!!!

[plzhealme]

god damn it.. chuck norris fuck... every single fucking time.

[willofgod123]

good song

[intiDelarge]

Es raro que pongan tantas fotos de Pete en una canción que es cantada casi en su totalidad por Carl

[plzhealme]

I started listening to the Libertines after hearing Carl's vocal in the beginning of this song. Absolutely fucking top notch.

[lisafz]

Sounds like the cure

[AlanWattParrot]

redoit from the fucking START

[26wordy]

Because it's like Carl who for most people. Even though bang bang by the DPT is a good track.

[GoReds10FuckOff]

An ending fitting for the start you twist and tore our love apart

[Mavado89]

You missed out the first note.

[CrazyBlackMidget]

love this song!

[CasualRockStyle]

thanks to the people who do not like this wonderful song now the love line looks like a joint :D

[JamieMathieson1]

what a rock star

[purpleprincessgal]

[thundertower]

hipster crap, listen to costello instead

[orangesugarcube]

oh, I see them. thanks

[orangesugarcube]

Lyrics?



[matt35565]

i love pete, but the libertines is not the "pete doherty band" carl is just as important not to mention gary and john

[MERCER12OLI]

Sounds like Mardy Bum, fucking amazing modern rock to jizz forrrrrr

[SavannaSandAfrica]

Damn, this is my favourite modern rock song. I hate all the other crap that makes the chart nowdays.

[incpuable]

7 persons have still sour feelings ;-)

[sharnotshaz]

7 people can't stand him now

[FozzytheRyan]

perfect track...god bless heroin

[TheAtheistHindu]

@FozzytheRyan just that? what about coke?

[tropicalscrot]

hey, anybody willing to check out my acoustic guitar & bass cover of this amazing song. any feedback would be greatly appreciated. thankin' ya's :)

[Baildoggg]

its shut me up or shut me out no shocked me out

[hungryhippos41]

God wishes he was as cool as Pete

[mahavishnuxc]

@hungryhippos41 is that before or after he shoots up his daily dose of heroin?

[hungryhippos41]

@mahavishnuxc Yeah, I would say so

[VampHammer1]

Like??? No you got it the wrong way round. This band saved my life. My fucking life.

I seen the Libertines twice. Babyshambles 3 times. Dirty pretty things once. Last post on the Bugle in Ibiza. Laugh? I cried my blue eyes out.

[BigStuMacM]

Pete can be a right knobhead - but what a singer!

[geof001]

they better be coming to belgium @ rock werchter = )

[bushcraftourway]

say what you want about pete doherty :P hes still awsome

[BeveledSpilchOnion]

The intro is magical, the rest wonderful.

On a related matter, am I the the only one that thinks Rodney Bewes when I look at this photo montage? Has P Doherty ever sung the theme to 'Whatever happened to the likely lads,' by any chance - that would be superb.

[gd01902]

heard this today had no idea who it belonged to just had to hunt it down lol

[Josiee0xx]

Pete Doherty's a legend. so what if he was on smack and crack. still very talented.

[Concretshky]

The harmonica makes me shiver. Best band of the 2000's!

[ratlover35]

i don't think i'd sing this song to my friend...lol oh well

the guy should seriously consider quitting drugs though, or he'll die like elvis

[johnnyp2234]

Leeds fest 2010 Brought a tear to my eye to see them two playing back to back <3

[greendaykicksbut1231]

Why does Pete Doherty look 40 when he's only 31?

[GirlzzAndMusicc]

@greendaykicksbut1231 drugs...

[mcasa09]

@greendaykicksbut1231 crack/heroin addiction

[lladsbid]

Carl Barat is doomed to be the straight man to Doherty's freakshow, he'll live longer in life but shorter in memory.

I actually quite liked The Dirty Pretty Things, it would be a shame but they're back together so i don't care.

[xmissrose]

pete doherty is a vile piece of work.

[ub40rool]

@xmissrose fuck you

[lizardkingsajrs]

some great photos, he has real style, any one know what his tatts say? the neck and nipple one?

[Awhat87]

I tried a cover of this, someone tell me if its any good please.

[Brendan0131]

That man is a Fucking singing legand :D

[ABITTERSWEETGIRL]

class.. enough said..

[baldybarton10]

Great talant wasting away !!

[jongtu]

This song difines alternative music!

[woodiesdiy]

love the harmonica at the end

[battycrease1992]

Excellent song.

[IntraSheep23]

TO HELL WITH YOU, buford27able.

[CoNsPiRaCy93]

RUGBY 2005<3

[CoNsPiRaCy93]

Wtf dude? i was just saying that i heard this on rugby 2005 and i loved it

so suck a dick motherfucker

and while youre at it why dont you let your dad butt fuck you with no condom on. Just go and kill yourself since you want to talk trash on youtube. You ignorant shit.

[DeBoWed]

@CoNsPiRaCy93 overkill kiddo

[jimmy1234567x]

haha rugby 2005.

i assume your getting butt fucked at public school, fucking little prick.

[CoNsPiRaCy93]

Oh yea you go hard. Come onto youtube to burn someone elses opinion that obviously has nothing to do with your pathetic life. You know it's not really even worth it to come up with something to burn you. You've turned the joke on yourself by replying with that comment. Could've just left my comment be. But you choose to be an ignorant wanker like everyone else here. And so you gave me a crude sexual comment that ohh btw has been used like 20,000 times.

[CoNsPiRaCy93]

It's not originial, it's not funny, it's just stupid. How fucking stupid are you? I get butt fucked at a public school? And I'm a prick? Dude if you assume these things from a comment i made on youtube then i think you probably dropped out of high school . Ha ohhhhh 27 years old and living in your mama's basement. You go onto the internet to put rude comments up to make yourself feel better because people think youre weird, girls talk about you behind your back, and that you fail.

[CoNsPiRaCy93]

Fail at life. So when you die by some unimaginable car crash nobody will give a damn if you died or not. Nobody will miss you and no one will care. Since by that comment, you have made an impression in my mind that you are a pathetic excuse for a life. Oh yea dude you go wayyyyyyy hard for that.

[jimmy1234567x]

@CoNsPiRaCy93

haha, dude think i touched a nerve

whats that, 3 posts?!?!? lol, you need to see someone about your anger issues lol

didn't drop outta school, wasting my money at uni, going out with the same girl for 3 years and i am living with my parents, cos you know, recession and shit.

lol you need to calm down before you have an anuerism or some shit lol

[CoNsPiRaCy93]

dude i really dont care honestly ive been fucking with ya from the start :P

[stevieg817]

@CoNsPiRaCy93 & jimmy1234567x. you 2 need to kiss, make up, sink some tinnies and listen to the Tines!

'cant stand each other now! lolz

[BsUeFFvAeLnO]

Ok.

Two questions; where are you from and why did you look it up ??

[AEF091]

OK the drugs have fucked this poor guys life! But i think people and the media need to concentrate on his music a little more. This was quite a nice song.

[BringEllisTheHoriZon]

yhus :D:D

but his girlfriend selection is fucked up from the drugs lol

amy winehouse haha and the paul mcartneys x lol

hes stil amazing :)

[feymuz]

FUCKING A!!!!

[BringEllisTheHoriZon]

he has a degree in poetry or something like that lol

he is a musical genius lol i like the his addiction to drugs lol in the songs he mumbles cos hes drugged up

not this one particularly but in 'up the bracket' you will se what i mean ( i know u know anyway lol) i like it cos its funny lol

dont do drugs kids! unless your good at poetry and writing songs then do it ALOT haha :)

[JemmaD553]

@BringEllisTheHoriZon stop saying lol as much fs :L:L iKIDiKID

[BringEllisTheHoriZon]

lol lol lol lol lol

xD i cant help it, i say lol way to much i know but i cant helpppppp ittttt lol xDDD

[ThePulsev]

Pete is my GOD !

[showurgoats]

No its fucking stupid! If he and people like him take class A's and get caught they get short community sentence and small fine, but when you and me do it we get 12month DRR's with supervision requirements and a fine and the fucking court costs! I belive people should be free to take what ever drugs they like alter their mind in any way they want,but we cant so when we are punished , all punishment should be equal.

[DJayyy1]

the fact that people hate him makes me love him so much more ! the blokes a genius, if they lock him up for a little drug taking, theyre wasting so much talent

[Fuckthishurts]

Why are there only Pete Doherty Pictures and no Carl-Pictures?

This song is about their friendship, I think it would be right to put pictures of both of them into such a video.

[cryptorchid0]

You're right,but I like Pete more (you can call it shallowness) and I first thought that only Pete is playing this song.

[FattyandLou]

@cryptorchid0 dont be dumb they each sing a verse about how they felt about the relationship :'D fail

[BritRock93]

@Fuckthishurts No man, there should be pictures of THE LIBERTINES not just peter and carl.

[poiutrew]

@Fuckthishurts No-one remembers the Armenians



[markchang2]

LOVE IT. Great Tune!!!!

[MonroeSmile]

what a tune!!

[abgash]

ok just wondering, thanks!

[abgash]

there's a version of this on bearshare with lyrics that aren't on this. it says teach me to play the guitar, cigarette like a superstar, can you teach me how to steal a car. why they not on this?

[cryptorchid0]

No,the lyrics I have put are accurate.

[Benheh]

@cryptorchid0

Lyrics should be 'you just shot me up and blamed it on the brown' referring to heroin. :D Just thought I'd point that out.

[KeywoodJones]

@cryptorchid0 Seriously this guy is right, I have a version where it says 'It took him out and down" instead of "shocked me up and blamed it on the brown". I've checked the lyrics on other sites and they say it's "just shut me up and blamed it on the brown". I also have another version on the Time For Heroes: Best Of which the lyrics you gave are correct. Seems like there are at least two different versions :s

[icyqueen2006]

I think that's the version where its only Pete Doherty singing?

[BsUeFFvAeLnO]

their was a demo version, and a fair few of the lyrics are different. its on youtube somewhere ... with the fact its a demo in the name.

[kisbau3]

@abgash Yes. Those are the lyrics for the acoustic version

[williamjamesbrown]

@abgash, rocker, you probably have the demo version. Youtube "Cant Stand Me now demo".

[Cheungishere]

@abgash That is the demo version

[fatu6613]

@abgash thats the original demo of the track.

[LiliumLaretta]

@fatu6613 do you have the lyrics of that version, please?

[FattyandLou]

@abgash those are from the original demo versions, they changed it when they recorded it for the album :)

[danieljonathanmartin]

@abgash - been looking for it everywhere man - totally the best version....

[jahooey123]

@abgash i've heard that version too, this is the proper version, that's some other acousticy type different one, both good

[mecon1994]

cornered the boy kicked out at the world

the world kicked back a lot fucking harder

[eilisog]

If you wanna try, if you wanna try

There's no worse you could do.

I know you lie, I know you lie,

I'm still in love with you. <3 :( x

[larwhelan]

your light fingers threw the dart

shattered the lamp into darkness it cast us < genius!!

[griffin20]

ill take you anywhere

[Cpaulin1]

haha yeah rugby 2005

[sebdu56100lorient]

lol it is you wholesale trades pédé if it was gay it would not have gone out with kate moss bandages of clown

[qgieb]

nice to see a comment that isnt jst abuse conspiracy!....n yerrr me 2! :D

[CoNsPiRaCy93]

RUGBY 2005!!!!! lol it always make me think of rugby.

[NoPrivacyANYMORE10]

excellent song

but they're a one hit wonder

[NoPrivacyANYMORE10]

*you're

[ZACfromSCB]

That was the comfirmation

[NoPrivacyANYMORE10]

*confirmation

[ZACfromSCB]

Hahaha! Fag!

[NoPrivacyANYMORE10]

Atlast, a word you can spell b/c it's only one syllable and you've been called it that many times you finally looked it up. Ha ha ha. You bellend.

[ZACfromSCB]

Dosser haha I hate you so much!

[NoPrivacyANYMORE10]

Then no doubt your loves are equally as shallow and adolescent as your hates are, bitchboy -lol

[Raeanne231]

Pete ur a god xxxxxxx

[franchisearmy]

absolute classic.

"the boy kicked out at the world

the world kicked back a lot fucking harder"

[lankeyjb202]

Agreed. So simple a line, yet so damn awesome.

[arincakkin]

where are the lyrics

[cryptorchid0]

at the right of the page. you have to click on 'more info'

[arincakkin]

ok sorry. thanks

[LauraSaysSmile]

oh but baby i can stand u ;)

[xxAbbiexgibboxx]

the man who would be king is about pete's dad it said so in a biography on the edge good book i recomend it :D

[dondorrie]

one of the best poets and lyricists of this time, somehow manages to pull so much emotion through words.

[mattbrooking12]

love the libertines, and to be honest, carl and pete would be in my dream band,

dirty pretty things and babyshambles arent as good as libertines tho :P

[Coolgiirl182]

thay rae fuckin´ amazing

[fennel85]

the guys a junky that has good song writing skills very good

[arewegoingtothezoo]

This song is brilliant.

But, i hate the way Carl Barrat is so underrated...in my opinion Carl Barrat has such a better voice than Pete, dont get me wrong, Pete's voice is fantastic, but still...i just prefer Carl's :D

[indiebum102]

Fuck pete haters, hes a living legend. Come back when you can write a better song than this ?

might be a long time....

[yido4life79]

fuckin love the libertines!!!!!

[chphik]

one of the best libs songs!

wonderful, but sad..

[GeeWantsMedia]

so what if he's on drugs....

not as if the musics bad is it?

[BongMonster08]

i spy with my little eye, something in this video beggining with C............Crack-head.

[BsUeFFvAeLnO]

Arrent you so incredibly imaginative. Go away.

Hey hang on a sec, you call Peter a crack head, and yet your name is BongMonster08 ???? Pot calling the kettle black ?

[BongMonster08]

I dont waste time being imaginative on youtube. His music is great but he, like many of his fans, think being a junkie is bohemian and cool. I reserve the right to call him a crackhead on youtube

[BsUeFFvAeLnO]

Well youre so unimaginative as a person, why waste your time commenting on/listening to anything to do with Peter. You clearly dont get the point. Runaway now child ...

[jkbish]

No pun intended, heh heh.

[johndanbutz]

lee irwin is a fag!!!!

[JasySykes93]

PETER AND CARL!

Perfect <3

[vallinas80]

TEMAZO

[frenchielcfc]

nah hes not lol

[Wildh0ney]

please don't forget/underrate Karl. He is just as much talented and important as our lovely Pete. :] And this song is especially about the 2 of them.

[cryptorchid0]

yes, you are right. but when i made the video i didn't know Carl was singing too.

i don't want to give the impression i underrate Carl. i actually like his personality (and voice) a lot.but, let's face it, Pete is so bohemian. he's not following the crowd and that's the best thing a human being can do. [my oppinion, ofc]

[mattbrooking12]

i think the whole album is pretty much about carl and pete, what became of likely lads, and the man who would be king seem to generally be about them two, not forgetting this

[dogging123]

disapointing.

[vintagecherry89]

nice vid, just one thing: can't stand me now is by the libertines, not babyshambles ;)
