Peter & Carl (The Libertines) - Anything But Love

Okay I was bored so I put together a few pictures and videos of The Libertines. It was very difficult to upload this 'cause my computer apparently doesn't see any sense in creating videos ~.~ I hope you enjoy it.
Whatever, the song's "Anything But Love", recorded at the "Legs 11" sessions. The lyrics:

You put your love upon me, though I was but poor
We lived a twisted little fairy story up on the fifth floor
I said you can have my love for this song all right
But don't hold it up to the light
Oh loveless, my loveless love

I can't give you anything but love
(Love for love's own sake)
It's like a message from above
(All the love we make)
Watch out for those foreign girls
(They never seem to make much sense)
Mistake my plastic beads for pearls
(Couldn't be more like pretence)

Don't you walk down lonely streets under darkened skies?
Come on up with me to my lonely retreat, I will sing you lullabies
We'll string it up, string it along
And listen to those old time songs
And make believe that they were written for you and me

I can't give you anything but love
(Love for love's own sake)
It came like a message from above
(All the love we make)
Watch out for those foreign girls
(They never seem to make much sense)
Mistake my plastic beads for pearls
(Couldn't be more like pretence)

If you still love me by morning
Oh you'll find me waiting in the garden by the cherry blossom tree
Drinking cups of wines and cigarettes
Come to me in pirouettes, my darling
Save all your love for me

I can't give you anything but love
(Love for love's own sake)
It came like a message from above
(All the love we make)
You watch out for those modern girls
(They never seem to make much sense)
Mistake my plastic beads for pearls
(In a world of innocence)
I will sing you lullabies in all your dreams
(If you tell me that you will)
I've seen those dirty magazines
(And I've had my cheap thrills)

I can't give you anything but love
But was that that sweet old song
That you sung when I held you in my arms, oh?
I can't give you anything but love
I can give you anything but love

[CrazyTrain57]

very beatles-esque, great song!

[matcardinal]

petes voice is amazing in this song you can tell hes pronouncing his words properly wish he did that on babyshambles first album

[mkatcher]

@ArizonaFreakshow Yeah you're right, my mistake.

[loveINDIEROCKmusic]

Pete is adorable and a great great poet. Carl is quiet, shy and a great great gitarist. Together they make the perfect band named The Libertines.

2:52 insane :D

[Davieshambles1984]

@DavKatch It is Pete singing this song, the song John sings is "Sister Sister" its a know fact for all Libertines

ALSO...... the lyrics are FORLON girls, not FOREIGN girls ;)

[ArizonaFreakshow]

great song anyway :)

[ArizonaFreakshow]

@DavKatch are you sure? because i think it is pete, the only song john's singing on is sister sister. or did i miss a comment and you meant sister sister? :)

[DavKatch]

@matcardinal You know, it's not Pete sining in this song. I know it sounds like him, but it's actually John Hassall singing. It's the only song he sings in.

@ashoftomorrow i hate him somehow too :/ althought after reading threepenny memoir he is neutral to me

i was always team pete somehow. maybe carl is too conservative for me...
