• Titel: Time For Heroes
• Album: Up The Bracket
• Jaar: 2002

Songtekst:

Did you see the stylish kids in the riot
We were 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 round the houses with your trousers down
A headrush in the bush
You know I cherish you my love
How i cherish you my love

What can you want now you've got it all
She says it's obscene
Time will strip it away
A year and a day
And Bill Bones
Bill Bones he 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
Oh 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

What can you want now you've got it all
She says it's obscene
Time will strip it away
A year and a day
And Bill Bones
Bill Bones he knows what I mean

There are fewer more distressing sights than that
Of an Englishman in a baseball cap
Yeah we'll die in the class we were born
That's a class of our own my love
Were in a class of our own my love

Did you see the stylish kids in the riot
We were shovelled up like muck
Then set the night on fire
Wombles bleed truncheons and shields
You know I cherish you my love
Oh how I cherish you my love

• Titel: The Man Who Would Be King
• Album: The Libertines
• Jaar: 2004

Songtekst:

I've been told if you want to make it in this game
You gotta have the luck, you gotta have the look
To make what?
I quite like to make it through the night
My heart beats slow/fast, I don't feel right
With a sleight of hand I might die
What about you two over there?
Don't you think I care?
Well I know, you know, I know you know I know

And to the man who would be king
I would say only one thing.
And to the man who would be king
I would say only one thing:
La la la la

I lived my dream today
And I lived it yesterday
And I'll have lived it tomorrow
No dont look at me that way

Well I heed the words you say
But my heart has gone astray
I watched friendship slip away
But it wasn't supposed to be that way

I lived my dreams today
And I lived it yesterday
And I'll be living yours tomorrow
Anything else to say?
I lived my dreams today
And I lived it yesterday
And I'll be living yours tomorrow
So don't look at me that way

What about you man, Nancy my dear
What about you man, Nancy my dear
What about you man, Nancy my dear
What will you do when she comes here?
Oh she'll kill me
Oh, I don't wanna kill me
And to the man who would be king
I would say only one thing.
And to the man who would be king
I would say only one thing:
La la la la
Perish the day when they heed what you say
They'll take you away if they don't like what you say
They don't like what you say

So come what may, but I'll never stray

I'll never stray

• Titel: Can't Stand Me Now
• Album: The Libertines
• Jaar: 2004

Songtekst:

An ending fitting for the start
You twisted and tore our love apart
Your light fingers through the dark
Shattered the lamp into darkness, they cast us all
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
But I'm still in love with you
Uh oh oh

You can't take me anywhere, I take you anywhere
You can't take me anywhere, I can take you anywhere
I'll take you anywhere you wanna go

No, you can't stand me now (8X)

Have we enough to keep it together
Or do we just keep on pretending
And hope our luck is never ending, no
Try to pull the world, I wasn't feeling too clever

If you wanna try
If you wanna try
There's no worse you could do
Uh oh oh

I know you lie
All you do is make me cry
All those words that ain't true

You can't take me anywhere, I can take you anywhere
You can't take me anywhere, I can take you anywhere
I'll take you anywhere you wanna go

No, you can't stand me now (8X)
