현재 영국과 유럽에서 가장 잘 나가는 신진 록밴드인 THE LIBERTINES의 데뷔 앨범. 영국과 유럽에서만 100만장에 가까운 경이적인 판매고를 기록하며 THE STROKES, THE WHITE STRIPES를 강력히 위협하는 밴드로 떠올랐다. 특히 요즘은 찾아보기 힘든 매력적이고 강렬한 허스키 보이스의 하모니를 들려주는 PETE DOHERTY와 CARL BARAT을 중심으로 멤버간의 탄탄한 호흡의 연주와 짧고 군더더기 없음에도 로큰롤의 모든 요소를 갖춘 완벽한 악곡으로 평론과 흥행 양면에서 대성공을 거둔 2002년 최대의 화제작이었다. STOOGES, VELVET UNDERGROUND, ROLLING STONES, KINKS에서 JAM과 CLASH까지 관통하는 다양한 사운드 스펙트럼은 이들의 공력이 어느 정도 수준인지 가늠케 해주며, 어린 나이에도 상당한 숙련도를 느끼게 하는 정제된 연주는 이들의 미래의 가능성을 대단히 밝게 해주고 있다.
Koreema know just what it is she does It cant be hard for her to get a buzz Down in the street below You can hear the drunken prophet sing "I know whats on your mind my boy I can see oh everything Lead pipes are fortune made well Take a tip from me Climb up to her window ledge or you'll forever be
Just walking under ladders as the people round you hear you crying please"
Who really knows just what it is she does It cant be hard for her To get a buzz The rapture of vertigo And letting go Me myself i was never sure Was it the liquor Or was it my soul?
Did you see the stylish kids in the riot Shovelled up like muck Set the night on fire Wombles bleed truncheons and shields You know I cherish you my love
But there's a rumour spread nasty disease around town Caught around the houses with your trousers down A head rush in the bush You know I cherish you my love Oh how i cherish you my love
Tell me what can you want When you've got it all I've seen is obscene Time will strip it away, a year and a day And Bill Bones, Bill Bones knows what I mean
Yes it's eating, no it's chewing me up It's not right for young lungs to be coughing up blood And it's all It's all in my hands And its all up the walls
The stale chips are up and the hopes stakes are down Its these ignorant faces that bring this town down Yeah I sighed and sunken with pride You know passed myself down on my knees Yes I passed myself down on my knees
Now tell me what can you want When you've got it all I've seen is obscene Time will strip it away, a year and a day And Bill Bones, Bill Bones knows what I mean
There are fewer more distressing sights than that Of an Englishman in a baseball cap And we'll die in the class we were born That's a class of our own my love A class of our own my love
Did you see the stylish kids in the riot Shovelled up like muck Set the night on fire Wombles bleed truncheons and shields You know I cherish you my love And I cherish you my love.
You walk in like you never seen the light, You walk in like it every night, But I've never seen you dance and I never heard you sing, So how could it mean a single thing?
It's all so rudimentary
You're talking like your handy in a fight, You talk about it every night, But I've never seen those flowers in the barrell of your gun, All I've ever seen you do is run,
It's nice of you to mention
But tell me baby how does it feel? I know you like the roll of the limousine wheel yeah And they all get them out for (- they all get them out) For the boys in the band (- only for the boys in the band) They twist and they shout for (- they twist and they scream and shout) For the boys in the band (- only for the boys in the band)
You walk in like you never seen the light You walk in like it every night But then I stopped to think and I asked myself 'why?' It's one of those things that darling you must try
It's all so rudimentary
And now I'm jealous I'm jealous of my own I've no homestead but through these hearts I will roam yeah They all get them out (- they all get them out) For the boys in the band (- only for the boys in the band) They scream and they shout for (- they twist and they scream and shout) For they boys in the band (- only for the boys in the band)
(guitar solo)
But tell me baby how does it feel? I know you like the roll of the limousine wheel yeah And they all get them out for (- they all get them out) For the boys in the band (- only for the boys in the band) They scream and they shout for (- they twist and they scream and shout) For the boys in the band (- only for the boys in the band)
If I get the call I'll call across radio America Right across America I will call Yes I will call across radio America Right across America I will call If call I must do To take my love, my love to you
And all across Africa, China and Australia I will call Call you down in New Mexico, New Brighton and Tokyo I will call If call we must do To take my love, my love to you
For well it may hap that these are they: Your happiest days Oh my good old friend I see you chanced your arm again
The red faced president Took afternoon tea with her majesty Queen And they watched old films flicker Across the old palace screen, crying
Scream I saw two shadow men on the Vallance Road Said they'd pay me for your address Oh I was so bold I said you see these two cold fingers These crooked fingers I show You a way to mean no Well they didn't like that much I can tell you Said sunshine I would n wanna be in yur shoes And they chased me up three flights of stairs Caught me in the lift (up the bracket) how I sighed and said Help cos you're impossible
But it's just like he's in another world Doesn't see the danger on show He'll wind up like Joseph bloody in a hole And it's just like she's in another world How they suit each other oh But you never get close Its impossible
Saw the same two men on the Cally road Said they'd double their offer I was so bold To say you see these two cold fingers These crooked fingers I show Oh You's a way to mean no
But it's just like he's in another world Doesn't see the danger on show He'll end up like Joseph bloody in a hole It's just like she's in another world How they suit each other oh no Oh you never get close Unstoppable
I said you see these 2 cold fingers These crooked fingers I show You a way to mean no
But it's just like were in another world How they suit each other oh no But you never get close Thats close enough
Even now there's something To be proud about You come up the hard way And they'll remind you every day Your nothing Oh my words in your mouth Are mumbled all about Your like a journalist How you can cut and paste and twist Your awful
Tell it to your king Tell him everything you know Tell him you know how I feel Tell him you know how I feel at the palace gates Oh I'm all levered off my face And just to work out what it's on about And see snakes in eyes And danger signs
If you were late you musn't dare complain And you won't like this at all There's nothing to break your fall Oh tell it to your king Tell him everything you know
And you know how I feel out of place Until I'm levered off my face And I can't work out what your on about Didn't they explain You have to play the game
If Queen Bodecia is long dead and gone Well the spirit in her childrens childrens children still lives on And if Elvis he was the king had his piece of the pie Well now his century's over im having mine
But if you've lost your faith in love and music the end wont be long Because if its gone for you then i too may lose it and that would be wrong You know ive tried so hard to keep myself from falling Back into my bad old ways And it chars my heart to always hear you calling Calling for the good old days Because there were no good old days These are the good old days
And its not about, tenements and needles And all the elvis in the eyes and the backs of their minds Daisy chains and school yard games And a list of things we said we'd do tomorrow
The arcadian dream has all fallen through But the Albion sails on course So man the decks and hoist the rigging Because the pig mans found the source And theres twelve rude boys on the oars (they're singing)
You caught me in the middle dazed on the carpet I was following the lines that move like more snakes thinking Something aint quite right You got the devil on your side standing to your right come on
You caught me in the middle dazed and confused I was following the good steps fancy free and footlose And 'something aint quite right' But if you get them on your side then we'll have a good time come on now come on
I get along, i get along, i get along, i get along,.... get along
It's coming out my ears so baby here's what we'll do Theres 10 for you and 6 for him and 4 for them and let me see Now something aint quite right You can get them on your side then we'll have a good time come on
I get along, i get along, i get along, i get along, get along
I get along singing my song, people tell me i'm wrong F~~k 'em
It's coming out my ears so baby here's what we'll do Theres 10 for you and 6 for him and 4 for them Now something aint quite right You got the devil on your side standing to your right come on
I get along, i get along, i get along, i get along And when i do im singing... get along
