| I think this is one of the most underrated Libertines songs ever. I haven't got a clear view of what the song is about, but I see it as someone who's made a lot of mistakes and screwed a lot of people over. He wants to leave everyone behind, but his friends are begging him to make the right decision and own up to what he has done. Or maybe it's just a bunch of lyrics thrown together. Any which way, I love this song :D | |

| I love this song! especially the guitar tune at the beginning! Don't have much clue about the lyrics but I think the lyrics are about prostitutes. But I could be very wrong, and it could be about some ones fear of brocily. | |

| maybe I'm wrong, but isn't it Carl who sings this song? and apart from 'what katie did', don't they sing the songs they wrote the lyrics to? (as in, i think carl wrote and sang this) | |
