I just needed to post that. Because I’m actually kind of crying. Their performance of “What Became Of The Likely Lads” at Reading tore my heart out. Carl sang the reworked lyrics.
Well we all had the ones,
We taught the world, we wrote the songs,
It was the dream we had.
But let us wrap up all the wrongs,
I will hold you for so long
And say you’re not so bad.*
Written in his own handwriting in Pete’s Albion books. God, I can’t even speak.
*At least that’s what I think he sang, but as we all know, Carl has a chronic mumbling problem.
*fans self* That pic is hot.
I love English rock. I suspect half is the accent. :-)

I have been in love with this band since 2002 (particularly Pete and Carl, and ESPECIALLY Carl), right at the pinnacle of their success and the beginning of their downfall. I’ve blogged about The Libertines before. :)
