You're My Waterloo - Peter Doherty @ Mass - 17th June 2008

brixton

[@simpleton7890]

this is actually the best video on youtube

[@bevyk777]

What I love about Peter and what I loved about the Libertines... their imperfections are what makes them PERFECT to me. Not posers, cookie cutter machine/studio made fakes. What you see is what you get - and the only thing you DO know is that you can NEVER know what to expect next! Which is more fun, a song that sounds exactly the same each time, or one like this? Each time you get a little something extra. Great video - thanks!

so emotional

[@nextoesc]

3:00 I know the words...

[@skillebekkxx]

So sweet he dedicated the song to Carl.

[@Wisewoosy]

beautiful lyrics, naked interpretation: love Vs drugs? Doherty is everything but an ignorant or a stupid guy: his knowledge of poetry is real and I can't believe those eyes are empty of cleverness: more he's brilliant. I wish there'll always be artists (and persons) like him who can live on the edge and capture it in such a sensitive way.

[@jjg8460]

this song that pete wrote is about carl barat ! :)

[@DuduEspoir]

What is he saying please? I can't understand a word

[@Midwestgothicc]

You'll never fumigate the demons No matter how much you smoke Just say you love me For three good reasons And I'll throw you the rope You don't need it Because you are the survivor Of more than one life And you're the only lover I had Who ever slept with a knife But you're not Judy Garland Oh just like me you never really had a home ((of your own)) But I'm not Tony Hancock baby Until the dawn We'll stone the crows We'll stone the crows And you see I've brought you flowers I've brought you flowers all collected from the Old Vic Stage Well I've been sitting here for hours, baby Just chasing these words across the page Cause you're my Waterloo I'll be your Gypsy Lane I'm so glad we know just what to do And exactly who's to blame And you're my Waterloo I'll be your Stanley Park Well I'm so glad we know just what to do And no one's left Stumbling around Tumbling around Fumbling around In the dark

13 years later a comment roles in from the tide. Brilliant video - and whoever filmed this caught the night perfectly. Massive props.

[@connord94]

Was it Adam Ficek he was talking to/about?

[@Povlennebo]

I can never hear what is it that somebody in the audience says, to which he replies: "I've heard that one before"

[@thecrossfirecasualty]

@shambolic0kid When you play a song over and over you know it so well you don't think about the lyrics so much.

[@scopebeats]

Lovely❤ pete‘s the best

[@davidhay9699]

Brilliant video... Like his patter with the crowd in it.

[@ScarletxCrimson]

He's great at guitar, he's just forgotten. You're My Waterloo is such an old song.

[@fermisauro]

Healthy?

[@phoenixbrown-rigg4499]

When did the libs write this song? I've only heard it on Doomed Youth.

[@liambarnard3898]

ages ago. but the piano part was played on a guitar and was a bit faster. I think 2005?

[@zoer2204]

long long ago，before them signed to Rough Trade

[@sophiaeletskaya1104]

Before 1999. There is an early recording on the 1999 tape and the song had been written for quite some time before that

[@AlexLikesBritain]

He's not good in playing guitar. But that's not a problem. Anyway, it's awesome!

[@garyrodgers9715]

what you mean he's class on guitar mate
