[@sonofsaturn5482]

A song about smoking crack to deal with a broken heart - a song I can relate to and makes me reminisce. 7 years clean now.

[@alexdingwall2965]

Proud of you. Keep it up

[@isaakassimov2]

How do u know its about smoking crack??

[@jeepmccann752]

I'm thinking of becoming a junkie is it worth it ?

[@Jhewitt-ev6ye]

@@jeepmccann752 fuck no mate. Look how it destroyed pete's life

[@meggymoo5496]

Hope you are still doing good 🖤🎼🙏

[@ushikucrisafulli]

Just replayed this classic cos it’s the perfect length right before a work call starts.

[@shortbedtimestories]

Still iconic in 2020 ♥️

[@jessgrn]

I love the 2 voices so much

[@karladuran5436]

I love this version so much more than the one on what became of the likely lads, tho that one's a bit slower and sexier. this song never gets old ❤

[@treytaylor8780]

Agreed, it has a smoother soul-y feel, more so than Likely Lads

[@thevice2983]

Ladies and Gentlemen, Carlos Barat with his self -penned contemporary ballad... The classic France!

[@JamMusiiK]

It makes me cry so much.

[@Mattbcc1]

I always wondered why they tagged this song to the end of What Became of the Likely Lads. Anyone know?

[@eoghansloan9424]

Its the way it is on the LP, its a hidden track so it might have been cut that way for streaming/CD releases?

[@jssmith888]

You definitely just saved me from tripping out any longer on Spotify. "Why can't you f***ing find France, I heard you like 30mins ago!!!". Thanks.

Anyone knows where to find the "third" version heard in the documentary "There Are No Innocent Bystanders" ? I can only find 2 versions of "France" : this one, and the hidden track.

[@xXxJokerManxXx]

i am fucking proud that i can do this on guitar

[@emiliogambone7307]

[@steroberts]

Love the legs 11 demo. The 2nd vocal on this track is john.

[@kthomas7525]

What album is this on? I cannot remember and I don't think it's on the Odessa recordings. Thanks everyone!

[@ianrobby237]

This is the hidden track from the 2nd album, its on "what became of the likely lads", the album version is bit different tho

[@mandibula79]

tio esa song es de la puta madre (y)

[@aspiringtentacle]

My guess is that they didn't know where to put it in the record, so they put it as an hidden track.

[@OverthemoonfilmsUK]

Can I buy this version anywhere??

[@yetimichael]

@iamsteviewonder2 It Sure Is. Very Good Songs :D!

[@nickveitch697]

Choking and smokingggg

Still, it's neither of them, the version from the documentary is not acoustic.

no it's just Carl

[@43Rhein10]

take out the crap, the childish silly shouting etc., and multiply the rest - and the result is: a great song! Whats amazing about all the tracks of that time: its hard to belive that it was practically written by KIDS! This is very much grown-up style & quality music! ....
