The Libertines - The Man Who Would Be King

[flyawayhome3]

i reckon this song's about using heroin, because the end section is definitely a copy of 'golden brown' and the lyrics fit.

[myfavoriteuser]

Sorry, sound only? o_O

Man, thats all I need! ^_^

[01BANANA10]

Libertines today

Libertines yesterday

[freitagwirdallesgut]

[lomba923]

best song ever

[BigMac7780]

I've got another secret for ya...

What a song!

[vansfaktor]

greatest song from the libertines!

[SkunkyBanger]

fookint mint pyoor ekkie talk

[greenante]

Such a great band, fav song

[no1petedohertyfan]

the band is with a doubt the best thing ever to happen since the beatles any 1 that doesnt agree can suck my mates black cock

[cmcmc50]

You've got good taste in music.

But why are you pimping your mates 'black cock' out there? Does he/she know bout this?

[isolationproblem]

Hello, I have heard this song before, but it wasnt this version

[TheHrep]

Okay

[isolationproblem]

I have just realised that it wasnt a diffrent version of this song, in fact it was the libertines tell it to the king, and the begining sounds similer

[TheRiddler72]

@TheHrep

[arcticlibs]

absolute tune

[Fbastidas]

This is genius; bloody brilliant! I love the mumbling and the screams, the rushing old-west like riff in the beginning and that lalalalala chorus, which is still chiming within my ears, is one of the best songs I've heard yet.

[nevernever22]

loving the clash-like screams in this.

[Burt0n911]

How fuckin cares about anything apart from the music, when listing to 'em :D

[ThePitchmister]

I think The Libertines have similar elements to The Clash sometimes

[aliceicannotswim]

"what about you nancy my dear?"

can someone tell me who nancy is?

effing amazing song btw!

wish the libertines would come back,

they're genius.

[RiCh123xD]

@aliceicannotswim Reunion in 2010 aparently. Fingers crossed!

[SebasCine]

sound only is good!!

[LolleLovesLiverpool]

sounds lil bit like good morning herr horst by mando diao, but this is better though

[flyawayhome3]

is the end a slight rip-off of golden brown by the stranglers? im just asking for interest really, if they did they must have done it on purpose. this is a great song.

[indielistener]

How?! I can't hear a harpsicord.

[flyawayhome3]

it doesn't matter about the instruments used. they have they use the same count, the piano and guitar parts are very similar, and he even sings pretty much exactly the melody of golden brown. listen to golden brown and you should see what i mean.

[indielistener]

I've listened to golden brown. But I can't see the similarity. Certainly not to call it a Rip-off. Golden Brown has a constant beat, a constant sound, this is dynamic.

[LauraSaysSmile]

LALALALALLALALALALLAA (L)

[jem121890]

this song issssss dope

[manzanacanela]

yeah, the best song!

[BigMac7780]

"I quite liek to make it through the night My heart beats Slowfast don't feel right with a slight of hand i might die what about you over there do you think i care well you know i know you know i know you know and to the man who woul dbe king i woul dsay only one thing"

I miss the libertines and the music, and BAD (Barat and Doherty)

[cami94l]

amazing lyrics

[natty0804892381]

i reckon Pete must have been going thru his Morrissey phase when he composed this beauty....very Smithsesque

[PerHDK]

One of their greatest tunes, definately.

[powerlifer]

and ill be living yours tomorrow so dont look at me that way!!!!!!!

[Stounbjerg]

One of my favourites.

[Samiross90]

Jope great Song

[iorihyde]

no it´s not but yes sound very simlar

[19belafarinrod90]

hi there I´m from Germany...is this a second part of "tell the king" from "Up the bracket" album??

the intros listen quite the same

greez

[ROCK50ful]

this song is so gooooooood

[Soepargo]

thank you for uploading this song ;)

peace

[glassies]

don't be sorry for no video content. the song carried the whole 4 mins.

[SuperGernando]

the best song in the word

[skylerm2930]

@glassies glassies glassies, the pear isn't the mirror in the wall

[akanand21]

i love this song beat-wise and lyrically... i really hope pete gets his act together; hes fighting something that i can't understand really (never really been dependent to anything... maybe my right hand but that shouldnt count really :P)... as a fan im a bit frustrated cus all this recent incident did was postpone the reunion of the legends... pete ur a genius but ur also human bro... knock it off, we all want u to be remembered as a musical virtuso!!! man, i so wish he could come to canada!

[professormoody]

i feel your sentiment...

i think pete wants to prevail as well, drug addiction's just a pretty difficult thing to overcome.

[EdEckersley]

his songs wouldnt sound like this if he wasnt fucked.

get over. he loves the drugs. you love the tunes. if you are that bothered look him up and give him a heart to heart.

[professormoody]

pfft i do love the music, i never said i didn't.

i'm sad for him personally but i don't judge him.

[marjaah]

Loovingg thiss sonngg

[bowerhmca]

no need to appy polly logies this is a great tune. uve done well son

[adoorhasopened]

Clockwork Orange!

[raemiir]

This song is just amazing ! !

[6NewHorizons9]

pete at 1:30 - 1:42, soo good :D

[SheKnowsItsTooLate]

It isn't Pete, It's Carl

[6NewHorizons9]

No. Im talking about petes backup singing

[afairytaledreamer]

I agree!!

[thrawnian]

You should have written the lyrics.

[dollparts93]

who needs vision when you have words

[wonderjinx]

best song of The Libertines ... just amazing

[BackFromNowere]

time for heroes

this 1

cant stand me now

dont look back into the sun

my faves

[kmylo4]

damn!!!!

where you put Up the bracket????

[BackFromNowere]

Lol yeah that 2

[Alwaystuned]

Love this. Love The Libertines. This defines british rock. Awsome!!!!

[over1and0under]

this is a wicked song.

but i wouldnt say they define british rock.

is day they define british indie.

true indie, not all the crap that goes around this last couple of years.

i remeber i started listening to these when i was in year 10 at school. been out of school for three years now and i still like them. but i wouldnt call them rock.

:D

[Alwaystuned]

Good Point. Taken.

[JasySykes93]

la la lalala~

Gosh i love this song.

<3

[GoodItsTeaTime]

Death on the stairs

[permdarlington]

I think the good old days is their best song too...some others are

Dont look back into the sun

waterloo

cant stand me now

time for heroes

what katy did

vertigo

I know they are popular choices but in this case its for a reason

Some of the babyshambles songs are even better in my opinion.

[PAULLUT1ON]

Time For Heroes

Music When The Lights Go Out

Don't Look Backinto the sun

What Katie Did

Albion ... Mostly my fac songs by pete :)

[johtull]

Albion is brilliant.

[polomonkey68]

The Delaney is their best song

LISTEN

[violetabsk]

i prefer death on the stairs

[fergiembe]

Barrowlands 2mw night to see Pete:D Can't Wit!

[patrickj25]

i akways heard stuff about the lead singer n the tabloids and stuff and figured they would suck and be some shit band, but this is a great song..looking foward to hearing more

[fitlyf08]

shouldnt lisen to the media man. they put me off until i tried babyshambles 3 years ago...pete is now my idol and the libertines my all time favourite band. i think people let the media make their mind up for them.

[hal2106]

I feel exactly the same. Two years ago i thought pete was just a drug abusing twat. But I really appreciate him and his work now, he's my idol. Seeing him live in Leeds in a few weeks.

[imgerry]

bang on mate, every1 does that but there simple minded. this man is a genius and is going to waste by these idiots. i hope the libertines dont reform because it wouldnt be the same. i would love to see him though. this man is gotta be in the top 10 things to see before you die. watch 7 ages of rock part 8 on you tube. hilarious!!!!!

[cooke198201]

seen him in nottingham m8 it was amazing

[EddiRamone]

that`s better.. only sound

[katinlove]

the libertines bring the indie back!..

[idzdatruth]

i think dont look back into the sun and the good old days

[coladragon]

You all are crazy! Their best song is 'The good old days'. This one is pretty good, though.

[robney04]

definatley not ther best song!!! Time for Heroes or Music When the lights go out is!

[gav152]

I fucking love The Libertines.

[karl1987rose]

loving it without the visuals

[00Indy]

im sorry but arbeit macht frei is their best song ;)

[johnnyXsniper]

is it fuck lol

[blondyzz1]

one of the best pieces by doherty if not his best. This song tells so much to the understanding mind of his creativy and of his true life experiences what a brilliant song. He his excellent!!!!!!!!

[Flema19]

yeah, is one of the best song... but realy the libertines have a lot of good songs! so... how could wee say wich one is the best??.. =)

[Gavincosgreave1986]

No need to say sorry mate you dont need anything apart from the sound to enjoy the libs

[tarantula10101]

Accually...part what makes the libs best in my opinion is there fucking amazing live

[11libertine11]

what about YOU over THERE ??????????

[LolleLovesLiverpool]

sounds a bit like good morning herr horst from mando diao doesnt it?

[RagondinxBouh]

Their best song, I agree :)

[officermahoney1182]

Agreed! Live my dreams today!!!!

[Alwaystuned]

The Libertines were too good to last. All good things have to end. For all of us it is quite unfortunate.

[Dobey1983]

class song ... wooop woop !! =)

Continues dancing around room!!!

[tutanchensethamun]

sound is all I looked for.

great :)

[BigD042462]

i don't think it their best song...

[templeofthedog92]

la la lalala lalala lalalala

[9KarmaIngram3]

you have to love the vid

[steviefar]

yes deffo ripped from that song, but just enough difference to make it their own....just, both good songs though

[steviefar]

actually dont know which came first but they do sound alike

[lordblack001]

Listen to "Cartas de amor" by Mikel Erentxun and compare with this. What do you think?

[lylaEmber]

I just heard that song... They got similar rythm guitar and drum beat. That's all, I think. (I'm sorry to my silly English. I don't live in a the English-speaking world.)

[idntlikemondays]

dont apologise.. the sounds is what we wanted.

[idntlikemondays]

dont apologise.. the sound is what we wanted.

[omnomnomnom101]

This song is beautiful, one of my favourites.

[Floydflander]

so cool [****]

[tunny182]

i hope i end up in half the band libs were,if i wrote this song id be happy and so proud for years and years

[VengeanceIsMineBitch]

you clearly have low expectations then.

[tunny182]

you clearly clicked on the wrong vid!

ahah nobody wants you here =]

[mattbrown12345]

oh snap tunny that was cold

but well deserved

great song
