Un altro gruppo di schizzati inglesi. Sembra che da quelle parti siano seri su questa roba di salvare il rock n’ roll. Non foss’ altro che per il bordello che fanno questi tizi, li amerei. Ma poi ci sono elementi come la copertina, che sembra una foto della mia stanza (a parte il sangue sulla Tv che ho pulito la settimana scorsa), le interviste impossibili dove insultano tutti e di più (Clear Channel, gli Artic Monkeys… cazzo ma a me piacevano gli Artic Monkeys… va beh, comunque è divertente) e una cosa che spesso tanti dimenticano quando si parla di un gruppo. . la… come si chiama… ce l’ ho sulla punta della lingua… la… . dusica… la… rusica… uh. . ecco… la MUSICA.
Ogni figlio di puttana che conosca un minimo le vicende musicali inglesi rompe il cazzo con i Babyshambles, senza dire una virgola su che musica facciano… wow, Pete Doherty fuma crack… wow Pete Doherty sta con Kate Moss, l’ hanno beccata con la coca… wow, e sti gran cazzi? E ne vogliamo parlare anche noi di quanto vestano bene gli Strokes e I Franz Ferdinand? No, no, parliamo della musica, per favore, che poi spesso ne vale anche la pena (con tutti I gruppi che ho citato di sicuro). Ecco, qui ci troviamo di fronte ad un’assurda combinazione di metal, hardcore punk e sensibilità pop; fottutamente rumorosa e piena di urla, ma incredibilmente memorabile, a volte sembra di ascoltare Henry Rollins ai tempi dei Black Flag (con le palle un po’ meno quadrate, però). In sostanza, un capolavoro paragonabile a “ Oops I Did It Again” della regina del black metal Britney Spears.

01 Your Biggest Mistake (04:01)
Go! - The deepest cut
Searching for a stroke of luck
But what the f**k
Even happened here?
And now I've got
To see this through
Time was lost
For something new
So say goodnight
If thats what you wanna do
Your biggest mistake
Six months later
Up & go
Gotta go meet gator
(I have to keep reminding myself I'm not in a movie)
In my head - nothing stays
Regret fills-me everyday
But if no-one's listening
Then I'll be ok
Now I'm losing time
Someone press rewind
I guess I really messed up this time
Your biggest mistake
Where have I gone for so long?
Lost control of fate
Now there's no escape
Lost control of fate
My biggest mistake
No Escape
Your biggest mistake
02 Pull the Lever (03:58)
Trip, slip, falling flat on my front
Skins on the floor put me up for a month
Is he here we need to pick up our pieces?
The fridge door's open so everything freezes
It's far too late
Currently wait for connection
This deafening tone breaking my reciever
Currently waiting for connection
To unleash the venom just pull on this lever
Your weight has gained
Your accent's changed
What should be done
To keep you entertained?
Run for miles sleep soundly at night
Go forth throw out the lie
Watch the screen till your accents change
And turn it over just four times
Currently wait for connection
This deafening tone breaking my reciever
Currently waiting for connection
Shall we clear up this bloody mess now?
Your weight has gained
Your accent's changed
Does everyone seem to be slightly deranged?
04 Boa vs. Python (03:02)
Open my eyes as the colours fade away
It's good to see you, good to see you
The smoke clears and the fire always stays
Its gonna burn you, its gonna burn you
Streets filled with smaller minds, hey you
What are you looking at? what are you looking at?
Searching for life can be hard to find
Too slow to run
Too fast to hide
Forget the rain, you can always say keep trying
So much for life
We could always wait for it to sink in
I hope we make it
The smoke clears still nothing shows
its gonna burn you, its gonna burn you
So many fluorescent dreams
But nowhere to go
Still so farâ ¦ yet so close
Forget the rain, you can always say keep trying
So much for life
We could always wait for it to sink in
Forget the rain â " you always say
So much for youth, so much to waste
Forget the rain, you can always say keep trying
So much for life
We could always wait for it to sink in
It's not so hardâ ¦ It's not so hard
When I'm wasted
So much for youthâ ¦ so much to waste
As it sinks in
I'm sinking
06 Catch It! (03:38)
That's right.
I met a girl that's the color of piss
And sucked her dry for the acidic taste.
Cash in hands cold hearts in bank
And bile kisses I hate the taste.
Yeah, Yeah... Bitches don't know me.
Yeah, Yeah... Bitches don't own me.
I sold my soul
And stuck my tongue in a hard drive
And was ashamed that I loved the taste
Ivory lines and melodic scars
I am afraid that this is the end
They all scream "bleeding's so appealing
When you've got no heart."
Cash in hands cold hearts in backs.
Catch it.
I'm on top of that trick.
I'm gonna stack those chips.
Guitar?
Catch it
07 Maintain the Focus (03:35)
I can taste it now
Sweet blood and she's under the gun
I kiss this sacred ground
Kill them all if you look around
There's another one
On the screen
There's another one
In my house
There's another one
Behind the door
I keep them all beneath the floor
I can see the fast train coming
And I think something bad could happen
I know...
...I know...you're not
Breathing
But when- it's the end of the world
Do you think we'll have a reason to live
If you look a little closer you'll see
This really don't mean nothing to me
I need to figure out
Just why this hasn't happened yet
Her favourite wonderdrug
Just wait a while and it's easy to forget
Now everything's OK
Even though you can see inside me
(I heard about your thing, that sounds great!)
Well thanks- but I'm sorry you're too late
For a sleazy kiss
Too late
For a broken face
Too late
For another drink
Whoever thought you'd sink so deep?
I can see the fast train coming and I think some thing bad could happen
Everyone's... leaving
But when- it's the end of the world
Do you think we'll have a reason to live
If you look a little closer you'll see
This really don't mean nothing to me
I need to figure out
Just why this hasn't happened yet
Her favourite wonderdrug
Just wait a while and it's easy to forget
I can't stop her now
You can't stop her now
We can't stop her now
We really can't stop this at all now
08 Snowball (03:10)
Theres a dog at the door,
looking for a home,
he needs a brand new wife,
he needs a bone,
say you wanted to dance,
but you couldn't get out of bed,
with all of those angry thoughts,
that you've got flowing round your head.
one of the heard eh,
one more time,
play it again sam,
before we die.
hey hey whats that tune?
hey hey turn it off,
hey hey whats that tune?
hey hey are you still here?
he was a son of the east,
he was badly dressed,
he had a knot in his hand,
and stains on his vest.
he was a son of the east,
and after all he confessed,
he still couldnt kill,
the wicked witch of the west.
think quick,
duck right,
slow down,
repent.
we're coming down,
coming way down from up up above,
hear it rolling down,
isn't it time we kicked up a fuss?
like a snow ball rolling down the hill,
like someone whos terminally ill,
take this disease its tasty and warm,
take this shake,
roll a ball.
hey hey, whats that tune?
hey hey turn it off x3
hey hey whats that tune
hey hey are you still here
snow ball
throwing the ball
10 All You Need Is Blood (04:07)
If I'm the shell and hey it's easter
Crack me open and watch my yolk
Splutter out into your arms
Or at least it would if you had your arms open
For now I'll watch my yellow pity
Spill onto the spare room floor
And place my ass in the centre of this cup
I'll watch you aim - shoot
Street lamps have heated my stomach up
Way too much and the night air has
Inflated my head
Way above...
Anything... Else
...Before is that what they said
Is that what they think
Or is that what they all know?
Of course, full of gas so I can fly away
Translucent agenda's and late night hotels
Bedroom floors oh bedroom floors
Toilet bowls my second home
The sun is only talking to me
When my mouth is dry and tied shut
Wrap me up in telephone wires
Disconnect me hormones I'll be right back
11 Sharks (03:39)
Sharks
sharks
bite
kill
sharks
(scream)
sharks - pressured to be,
cool and released
a horrible thing
sharks - surrounding me,
feeling unclean
and so dirty
staying out the way
terror at the bay
sleep with the fish and still
i can hear you scream
if i was a shark:
wouldn't be thinking twice
but all i can see around me all the time
and when i feel them bite down on my face
you can hear me scream
see them swimming killing spilling me
it's easier
so i'll look into the sky
and hope i get another try
terror at the bay
staying out they way
sleep with the fish and now
i can't hear you scream
swimming killing thrilling and i wish
that i could be like them
underwater i pretend...
Woah - yeah.
Don't fuck with those sharks
sharks can kill anything
sharks will take everything
take a bite
12 Dancing on Pegs (02:16)
I keep on knocking, hands all bloody and raw
the captain approaches quickly
answers the door
he comes with his army of blathering fools
blood red eyes and loaded with tools
you're asleep inside all toastie and warm
get out of bed it's time to perform
long golden locks and as sweet as can be
you stole his gems and now he's coming for me
commander coming chop me down at the knee
come take my arm it's time we must flee
I hear he's coming to chop off my legs
next time you see me I'll be dancing on pegs
I think it's about time to head out (x4)
commander coming chop me down at the knee
come take my arm it's time we must flee
I hear he's coming to chop off my legs
next time you see me I'll be dancing on pegs
13 Party on Dudes (Get Hype) (12:31)

I can feel it when I'm walking down the street
the kids are crazy but they know where to be
Well I forgot that you just gotta (catch it)
