The Libertines

You'll never fumigate the demons
No matter how much you smoke
Just say you love me for three good reasons
And I'll throw you the rope
You don't need it


'Cause you are the survivor
Of more than one life
And you're the only lover I had
Who ever slept with a knife


But you're not Judy Garland
Oh just like me
You've never really had a home
Of your own
But I'm not Tony Hancock, baby
Until the day
We stone the crows
We stone the crows


We stone the crows


And you see I've brought you flowers
All collected from the Old Vic stage
Well I've been sitting here for hours, baby
Just chasing these words across the page


'Cause you're my Waterloo
Well I'll be your Gypsy Lane
I'm so glad we know just what to do
And exactly who's to blame


And you're my Waterloo
I'll be your Stanley Park
Well I'm so glad we know just what to do
And no one's left stumbling around
Fumbling around
Tumbling around in the dark
Always in the dark


You're my Waterloo
And I'll be your Calvary
Well I'm so glad we know just what to do
And everyone is gonna be happy
Everyone is gonna be happy
Everyone is gonna be happy
But of course

Je m'éloigne des Libertines le temps d'un article, enfin, ce que je vais dire est lié d'une certaine manière aux Libertines...
J'ai découvert grace à une amie un Italien sur myspace qui dit être similaire à Pete (et Jeff Buckley !)
Il a notamment fait une reprise de You're my Waterloo.
La ressemblance est frappante et surprenante.
Personnellement je croirais entendre Pete chanter.
Son myspace ne diffuse que des reprises il me semble.
En tout cas je vous conseille d'aller y faire un tour, ne serais ce que pour constater la ressemblance.

We all bought the ones
We taught 'em all we wrote the songs
That's filled with dreams we have

But blood runs thicker, oh
We're as thick as thieves, you know
If that's important to you
It's important to me
I tried to make you see
But you don't wanna know
You don't want to know!

Oh what became of the Likely Lads?
What became of the dreams we had?
Oh what became of forever?
Oh what became of forever?
We'll never know!
