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
세상에는 존재한다는 사실이 뉴스가 되는 앨범들이 간혹 있기 마련입니다. 작년의 예를 찾아보자면 Brian Wilson의 역작 [Smile]이 가장 우선이겠지만, 그 다음으로는 Libertines의 셀프 타이틀 서포모어를 꼽는 것도 이상하지 않을 듯 합니다. 당대 영국 최고의 인기를 자랑하는 '두개의 탑'이 등장하는 묘한 분위기의 커버는 Pete Doherty가 Carl Barat의 집에 무단 침입한 혐의로 체포되었다가 풀려난 직후에 촬영한 것이고, 이 둘은 앨범의 레코딩 첫 날부터 주먹다짐을 벌였습니다. 하지만 Pete Doherty가 약물에서 해방되고 Libertines가 빨리 새 앨범을 발표하길 원했던 해리 포터(Daniel Radcliffe)군의 바람(혹은 주문?)이 워낙 강력했던 탓인지 [The L...
