An ending fitting for the start
You twist and tore our love apart
Your light fingers threw the dark
that shattered the lamp and into darkness cast us
No you've got it the wrong way round
You shut me up, and blamed it on the brown
Cornered the boy, kicked out at the world...
The world kicked back a lot fucking harder now...
If you wanna try
If you wanna try
There's no worse you could do
Uh oh oh
I know you lie
I know you lie
I'm still in love with you
Uh oh oh
Can't take me anywhere (I'll take you anywhere)
Can't take me anywhere, (i can't take you anywhere)
I'll take you anywhere you wanna go
You can't stand me now
You can't stand me now
You can't stand me now
You can't stand me now
You can't stand me now
You can't stand me now
You can't stand me now
You can't stand me now
Have we enough to keep it together?
Or do we just keep on pretending
(And hope our luck is never ending)...
You tried to pull the wool,
I wasn't feeling too clever
And you take all that they're lending
Until you needed mending...
If you wanna try
If you wanna try
There's no worse you could do
Uh oh oh
I know you lie
All ya do is make me cry
All these words they ain't true
Uh oh oh
Can't take me anywhere (I'll take you anywhere)
Can't take me anywhere, (i can't take you anywhere)
I'll take you anywhere you wanna go
You can't stand me now
You can't stand me now
You can't stand me now
You can't stand me now
You can't stand me now
You can't stand me now
You can't stand me now
You can't stand me now...

vocal [b]. Seriously. I hope Pete straightens-out. Would be a shame if the libertines were no more. Makes me sad to think there'll be no more albums....

vocal I just bought this album a few days ago and this was the song that I kept listening to over and over again. I really do hope Pete straightens out, too. I am assuming he's back in the band? I don't really know the whole story. I'm a fairly new fan though. I've only been listening to them for a few months.

vocal Yeah this song is fantastic, it completely sums the the relationship between carl and pete. I cant see a reunion though! Carl thinks he is the one with all the talent, and he isnt!
'An ending fitting for the start, we twist and tore our love apart'..I personally don't feel Pete and Carl could ever reform...could this be a repeat of the Suede disintegration ?

vocal This song rocks, but not in a very rockish way. The libertines are different from any other band ever. I love how on this song all the different instruments are doing completley different things at the same time, like in the intro where things build starting with guitar, then bass, then drums and then they start to change again individually.
The lyrics to the song are brilliant too, often being really random "no you've got it the wrong way round, you shot me up and blamed it on the brown, cornered the boy kicked out at the world. The world kicked back a lot fuckin harder now"
Pete is a total legend. It's like hes perpetually stoned.
two sets of lyrics? does anyone know where u can get theother set of lyrics from? i think pete and carl are both good but a sfor carl being the talented one.... i think theya re equally talented. and i like/dislike them both equally!
