One of his finest moments. Only a true English man would write a song about blighty including Mansfield and Deptford plus gin in tea cups. Love it. The particulars of Mr Doherty's personal life at this time are of no importance. Wonderful song.
Watched him play this at Glastonbury. Opinion of him completely changed. He's an artist and a terrific one at that. Shame most people can't recognise that or see him as what he portrayed as in the papers.
This song makes me so nostalgic as if I were british and lived thousands of miles away from home. But I'm unfortunately 100% Italian. However I love this song, thank you Pete for spreading the true spirit of the Great Albion through this beautiful song.
Glorious ... (and apparently in one take) I'm so pleased Pete's pretty clean these days cos he too precious to lose. Saw The Libs in Edinburgh, magnificent. Carl is sound as a pound, but my heart belongs to PD. I'm glad he's a bit plumper, and being addicted to cheddar isn't going to see you off like the other. (cannot wait til March for the new album). Check out the Louis Theroux interview...xxx
You sir.. are one sad fucker. Pete Docherty is a daft arsehole of a human being. AND.. you are proud to be British? I'm not. What is there to be proud of? Mass murder, elitism, a 2 party corrupt political system, slavery, colonialism, The Beatles? I'd agree with the last one but that's it.
Ryan, everytime I listen to this song, I regret I'm not british! I agree with you, in spite of everythig, I think Peter is a good element of the universe ;)
Yeah, that's just it. This song is garbage. Babyshambles is garbage. And that's pretty much the sum of it. Sorry if you happen to be a fan of their music. It must really be awful to have such dreadfully horrible taste in music...
We the People How old are you? You’re aware that they were known for their lives performances, right? You saying they’re were shit flies in the face of the common concert goer of the day.
Bring Manchester City flag at his gig (the intro at this video) , ever sang YNWA and being supporter of Queens Park Rangers. Truely unique personality of Peter Doherty
its libertines in my mind, peter and carlos r both great and all their shared genius is down in albion and libertine, dpt & babyshambles are both great, but both libertine at heart, the greatest feeling, fuck record labels and pr, music is for the fans and the libs are just the greatest, long live carlos, gary, john and peter xxx
By far the best underated band in the world. Better than Oasis, Blur, and many different genres like RATM , THE WHO AND LED ZEPPELIN. THOUGH IF THOSE BANDS WERE AROUND TODAY, I BELIEVE THEYD HOLD THEIR OWN . THROUGH DIFFERENT TYPES OF MUSIC. BABY SHAMBLES, DOWN IN ALBION IS A GREAT ALBUM AND WILL HAVE YEARS IF SHELF, JUST LIKE LED ZEPPELIN IV, PINK FLOYD THE WALL, BLACK SABBATH, SABBATH BLOODY SABBATH. THE WHO WHO ARE YOU. OR THEIR ICONIC LIVE ALBUM, LIVE AT LEEDS. EVEN THE DOORS NONE OF THEIR ALBUMS COME CLOSE TO BABY SHAMBLES, DOWN IN ALBION. EVEN PETE DOHE RTYS FIRST BAND THE LIBERTINES.
Love Babyshambles but the libertines will forever be more popular because petes voice mixed with Carl's voice along with Gary and John on the drum and bass can't be matched. :P
"Reebok Classics and cannons at dawn" -- one of my favourite lyrics ever. The version of this they did on Jools Holland is superb; far superior to the album version.
The video opened with Manchester City football club meanwhile Pete's fave club are QPR and he was covered YNWA then he sang this song that's not about black and blue inter milan nor atalanta but about wesbromwich in albion
Looks like my ex GF wrote this comment on my account (7yrs ago) she’s Spanish so most definitely had a ‘London-centric’ view of the UK. Either way, having Albion tattooed on your wrist in P.D’s handwriting is even more cringeworthy than this comment.
@WinehouseLover19 Wow, thanks so much for the info, didn't know all that before! (personally i'm also a Whinehouse lover and sad for what happened with her on one of her last gigs... ;'p)
@SallyCinnamonette wow thanxxx a lot, really appreciated answer! if right i think i just know Albion's been something like their "dreamed/fictional land" since they met up each other...haha j'ai la flemme quant à moi de chercher à nouveau (sur wiki) ;o)
what is it about the uk that all the best artist come from there? lol i ♥ doherty i ♥ barat i l♥ the libertines i l♥ the babyshambles all my love to the amazing music they all made from costa rica :)
This is honestly one of my fav songs of all time
😅 This is the sonic equivalent of used toilet paper
Mía igual

17 years . Wow. Just shed a tear whilst reminiscing listening to this song. Id give anything to go back

Ariadne Pax I am Turkish and it makes me feel the same!
Best comment ever
alright guys stop smoking crack !!
Hahaha! What a fantastic comment😁. Love from England🏴❤️

When I'm sick
When I'm blue
When I'm happy
When I'm with you
When I'm without you
This song gets me through it all
So true
I miss this music and the time's😕
gin in tea cups leaves on the lawn.classic lyrics. yeah totally underrated British music at its best.
Never understood never mind rated or not x
I had forgotten about that song I used to listen to in my teenage bedroom while doing my homework.
Listened to this song for the first time the night we brought our newborn daughter home. She's three now. Makes me nostalgic whenever I hear it.
Always be my national anthem. Looking at these images, I'm do grateful that Pete is still with us
Pete still here got to be more by luck 🍀 than design or by chance deserved 🎉
bless you all, this is one of the British band songs in my list
2006 to 2009 I was living in London, brings back memories! Cheers from Italy!
Fuck I forgot how much i love this song.
This song is like a cup
of camomile tea. Calms my frayed nerves.
Glorious ... (and apparently in one take) I'm so pleased Pete's pretty clean these days cos he too precious to lose. Saw The Libs in Edinburgh, magnificent.

Best compositor ever! From Uruguay love You!!
One of my favorite songs ever 🖤
Brilliant tune & video !!! Absolutely love it !!! ❤
My mate's bruva(mik whitnall) plays 1 ov lead giutarz FEKIN TOP TUNE btw x
No way, Pete is a genius and whatever he does whether is legendary
I used to listen to this album daily
I love Babyshambles ans Pete is a genius! Thanks from France
this song is one of the only reasons i'm proud to be british. Pete Doherty is a fucking amazing man, and my idol :D

the only good thing Pete Docherty has been in is Kate Moss.
Ryan, everytime I listen to this song, I regret I'm not british! I agree with you, in spite of everythig, I think Peter is a good element of the universe ;)
Sam Boulby Love you XXX
You British gave us the band RIDE.... Enough said wankas... Ha!!!!
Doesn't get any better than this ,even after all this time .....love this toon ..
Just 207.000 Views? The people not apreciatte the good music..
I think is better like that, i mean, if millions of people listen to this they would screw it
Yeah, that's just it. This song is garbage. Babyshambles is garbage. And that's pretty much the sum of it. Sorry if you happen to be a fan of their music. It must really be awful to have such dreadfully horrible taste in music...
quanto hanno dato gli inglesi alla musica! grandissimi.....
How great, and always touches my heart ,
But I don't talk about that,....
Good one... Ha 😂
Such a nice simple melody, and great lyrics as always.
Why is Pete so underrated?? He is my 2nd favorite artist after Jim Morrison.
+Lizard Kings Queen had he died of his addictions, he most likely would be revered
I always thought Pete and Morrison were similar people.
Pete is a poet. He’s a great song writer.
We the People How old are you? You’re aware that they were known for their lives performances, right? You saying they’re were shit flies in the face of the common concert goer of the day.
He is a true legendary songwriter. I agree, so underated ❤
Pete is awesome. I love Pete so much!

This is the best song in the all world.
Love babyshambles seen them 3 times always amazing
Classic.
just love this
That intro...That MCFC, that's one of my boys. Fucking love it.

A timeless song from a timeless musician. More Pete Doherty's please is my prescription...Thanks for the great and emotional video, love it, A.
Simply. The. Best.
Great song! Great Artist! Greetings from Portugal =D
awsome song. love it. as the hoff would say.....good job
I do love this tune though ❤
beautiful song, romantic video
OMG can't wait til October tour-I MUST go!!
Babyshambles nailed this one, but I'm always a little sad it wasn't released by the Libs.
Plenty babyshambles songs would’ve been so much more successful with the libertines sadly it wasn’t to be
Same here mate... That's what I think !!
Errrrrm excuse me! But we have great summer weather here! As a matter of fact; British summer-time is my favourite day of the year...... :/ lol
Great song
Genio
well, i like that country, its people, its refinement, music, freedom, football, weather... ¡¡ all !!
History will remember Pete fondly I feel.
It won't. BBC will paint him as a guy got away with murder despite their own ranks being full of pedos and rapists 🤷
My favourite :)
Music without lyrics is on skint 2007 Hard Christmas… Got to love Vern ❤
beautiful
Genius ❤
Hope you get out soon Peter!
By far the best underated band in the world. Better than Oasis, Blur, and many different genres like RATM , THE WHO AND LED ZEPPELIN. THOUGH IF THOSE BANDS WERE AROUND TODAY, I BELIEVE THEYD HOLD THEIR OWN . THROUGH DIFFERENT TYPES OF MUSIC.
BABY SHAMBLES, DOWN IN ALBION
IS A GREAT ALBUM AND WILL HAVE YEARS IF SHELF, JUST LIKE LED ZEPPELIN IV, PINK FLOYD THE WALL, BLACK SABBATH, SABBATH BLOODY SABBATH. THE WHO WHO ARE YOU. OR THEIR ICONIC LIVE ALBUM, LIVE AT LEEDS. EVEN THE DOORS NONE OF THEIR ALBUMS COME CLOSE TO BABY SHAMBLES, DOWN IN ALBION. EVEN PETE DOHE RTYS FIRST BAND THE LIBERTINES.

"Terrible War Lords; Good War Lords" 😂❤ so true! x l4e x

Love this Song should be West Brom's antham

Cudnt agree more x
Never saw it but, i'm gonna watch it now... 🙂👍🏻

Bellissimo suono questa chitarra.. quale sarà …?
@SallyCinnamonette yes it is.
The new national anthem
He's like a modern bob Dylan
Epic❤
I really don't understand British accent... but Peter still rocks! :D

up the shambles!
Love it! Try Spiders - Ambitions of a Huckster's Daughter
@SallyCinnamonette OMG hell yeah, sure but unfortunately i'd completely forgotten abt it!!! (very well known expression "perfide Albion" here, though!!! ;) thannnnks!
MRWGYZ been around the block black and blue getin high in albion
come to catalunya ;)
I got tattooed Albion in my wrist.
Brixton, Shoreditch, Mile end, Tooting, Angel, Camden, Banck, Pimplico... ANYWHERE IN ALBION.
That's a pretty London-centric list of Albion places! Very different from the real England.

Se son a un effet comment dire ai j bizzare mais plaisant 😢😂😮😅
Pete is fuckin amazing i love him
=]love you man
Why is Mullord's face blurred? Is it because his name, demeanour and look are being lined up for a new bad guy in a Disney movie?
@lavyheed Yep you right, it is just about the music.
@WinehouseLover19 Wow, thanks so much for the info, didn't know all that before! (personally i'm also a Whinehouse lover and sad for what happened with her on one of her last gigs... ;'p)
@WinehouseLover19 Thank ya again for sharing info. concernin' Pete (hehe my "fav'" is Carl, though!) and i really wish the same as you do, abt Amy! ;)
Anywhere in Albion it a place I know well
yeah mr doherty
As an expat, this song reminds me that I have been away from home far far too long.
..u might find it's changed a bit....
It's barely recognisable these days
Beauty is in the eye of the beholder lads. I’m an ex-expat. Came back and don’t regret it one bit ❤
Ye man !! 🙂👍🏻
@WinehouseLover19 I was joking mate, I know what Albion means, that's what West Brom are also named from, Albion meaning England
i like it here to, any every thing you just said apart from the football haha, are you spanish?
3:37 yeah, it should be Carl...
@SallyCinnamonette wow thanxxx a lot, really appreciated answer! if right i think i just know Albion's been something like their "dreamed/fictional land" since they met up each other...haha j'ai la flemme quant à moi de chercher à nouveau (sur wiki) ;o)
Yeah, but have you ever been to Albion, California?
@SallyCinnamonette yeah i trully agree (even if personally i prefer "catchier" songs like You Talk
Like a rolling stone. How much did dylan get for this
Fuckin anthem
How can you like the weather in Britain? It's always raining
That's why we have the best bands
what is it about the uk that all the best artist come from there? lol
i ♥ doherty
i ♥ barat
i l♥ the libertines
i l♥ the babyshambles
all my love to the amazing music they all made from costa rica :)
High creativity, mixed with high unemployment = bands getting formed.
