Song lyrics
An ending fitting for the start
You twist and tore our love apart
Your light fingers threw the dart
Shattered the lamp into darkness it cast us...

No, you've got it the wrong way round
Just shut me up and blamed it on the brown
Cornered the boy kicked out at the world,
The world kicked back a lot fuckin' harder...

If you wanna try, If you wanna try
There's no worse you could do (oh oh oh)
I know you lie, I know you lie
I'm still in love with you (oh oh oh)

Can't take me anywhere (I'll take you anywhere)
You can't take me anywhere (I can't take you anywhere)
I'll take you anywhere you wanna go!

Oh, you can't stand me now (No, you can't stand me now)
You can't stand me now (Oh, you can't stand me now)
You can't stand me now (No, 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 (oh oh oh)
I know you lie, all you do is make me cry
And all these words they aint true (oh oh)

I can't take me anywhere (I can't take you anywhere)
You can't take me anywhere (I'll take you anywhere)
I'll take you anywhere you wanna go!

Oh, you can't stand me now (No, you can't stand me now)
You can't stand me now (Oh, you can't stand me now)
You can't stand me now (No, you can't stand me now)
You can't stand me now (No, you can't stand me now)
You can't stand me now!
You can't stand me now!
You can't stand me now!
No, you can't stand me now!
You can't stand me now!
You can't stand me now!
No, you can't stand me now!

I love the change of the beat at "If you wanna try..." Total awesomeness. I can't sit still when I hear this song.

Cornered, the boy kicked out at the world
The world kicked back a lot fucking harder

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.

pete and carl have to reform, it would be such a shame for the libertines to be gone forever. they make such good music. Can't stand me now and what became of the likey lads are the best songs on thta album

'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 ?

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!

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.

[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....
