Pete Doherty In A Different Light

by Rob Marenghi

/

about

A humble attempt to fuse Eminem with early Dylan. You be the judge :p

lyrics

Everything was grinning in our youth we were winning and sinning singing and ginning and slinging
Popping pills ‘til our pupils swelled like shillings
Fools at school and fools in our twenties

I’m over thirty now it’s almost dirty how I get so many offers I can’t keep count
Bumble account buzzing like a hive
I swear to Bob it’s messing up my mind

I peak at people on the street
I peak at politicians Pete
Doherty does look like me
If it’s good enough for Mossy it’s good enough for me

I peak at people on the street
I peak at politicians Pete
Doherty does look like me
If it’s good enough for Mossy it’s good enough for me

Now when uni it was finished it diminished that net in it
Lifted us out of a world of water
Man knives and slaughter could I have a daughter?
Watch them court her while I cynically support
The confessions are blessings disguised as lessons
In the Parishes parasite priests are pressing
Their chest’s to box that’s where Miss Lox
Confesses her affairs on Sunday morning slots

I peak at people on the street
I peak at politicians Pete
Doherty does look like me
If it’s good enough for Mossy it’s good enough for me

I peak at people on the street
I peak at politicians Pete
Doherty does look like me
If it’s good enough for Mossy it’s good enough for me

Now I’m living in dingy East L O N D on a tightline
But I’m fine as long I get what’s mine Maybe some time or rhyme or wine or
Even better thai weed
Not E’s or speed or LSD, each of them fucked me separately
But what a feat dropping LSD on a busy Central London street initially tripped so prettily
PTSD from LSD S T U P ID Punished accordingly

Jake you made the choice to ride that bike
Jake you made the choice to ride that bike
Jake you made the choice to ride that bike
No helmet no headlight. Stupid fuck

I peak at people on the street
I peak at politicians Pete
Doherty does look like me
If it’s good enough for Mossy it’s good enough for me

I peak at people on the street
I peak at politicians Pete
Doherty does look like me
If it’s good enough for Mossy it’s good enough for me
Apologies to Peter cos I know that he
Got jabbed by Johnny Borrel and Jamie T
But I think his music’s good and I’d love for us to meet yeah!
