.pete doherty and carl barat

I personally don’t know any other couple of just friends, which looks more than just friends on almost any picture taken. I wonder what is the truth then! (c)

Relationship between Barât and Doherty. from wikipedia

Speaking of Carl Barât and Pete Doherty, Roger Sargent (a close friend and photographer of the band) described their relationship as like "first love, and all the jealousy and obsessiveness that comes with that" - adding "I think there's, y'know, obsession and jealousy on both of their sides. They bitch about each other to each other or to other people. They have a bond, intellectually and spiritually, like nothing I've ever seen ... but sometimes, you know, you just think, God, why don't you just get a room?!" In the same interview, a Radio One documentary, upon being asked just how close their relationship was, Doherty responded "I love him. Wouldn't go, um - certainly not on Radio 1 - go into too much detail, but... we had lots of wonderful times together, yeah." But in contradiction, Barât, when questioned similarly, steadfastly denied that the relationship had involved anything "physical." Carl Barât has insisted that "People are really into conjecture" and has frequently denied having a sexual relationship with Doherty. However, in a 2008 article, Barât described their relationship as "not too different from falling in love."

The volatility and ardency of Barât's relationship with Doherty formed a significant, if not essential, aspect of their music and live performances. Doherty frequently posted passionate declarations addressed to Barât on the Libertines forum; in June 2002 he wrote, "I'm obsessed to the point of needing to know everything. All of you...I quite love you."In another post from 2003, referring to an incident in 1997 in which Barât had wanted to form a suicide pact, Doherty wrote, 'let's keep going i love you i love you so much.' Speaking of his separation from Doherty in 2004, Barât revealed, "There was one point where I very very nearly, just to be close to him, started taking full on heroin."


Yes, it was riveting. Despite everything, you knew there was goodness there. Something to believe in. Something which is good, pure and untainted by anything.
(c)pete doherty, on meeting Carl Barât

It was either the top of the world or the bottom of the canal. It wasn’t too different from falling madly in love; when you don’t even entertain the thought that it could ever end. (c)Carl Barât

You’re my Waterloo
I’ll be your Calvary
(c)the Libertines, you are my Waterloo

i remember every single thing you said to me,
you played the Man and i was Calvary
(c)pete doherty, new love grows on trees

Just when you get really wound up, you turn a corner and you're somewhere else completely. You find an Arcadian glade - a glimpse of paradise in the middle of it all. And that's why you persevere. That's why you don't chuck yourself off a building or shoot yourself at the same time as someone else, like he [Carl] wanted us to. (c)pete doherty

I think I felt a bit trapped before I met Pete. Have you seen The Lavender Hill Mob? Alec Guinness plays this wonderful, colourful person who locks it all up and goes through the motions. I always felt a bit like that. But then I met the Pigman and he said, 'You can actually knock that on the head and get out.' So we threw ourselves into eternity. And it worked.
(c)Carl Barât

See I'm stuck forever
I'm stuck in your mind,
your mind,
your mind,
do you mind?
(c)pete doherty, fuck forever

And I love every inch of you
Yes I do love every single inch of you
(c)the libertines, love on the dole

You know I cherish you my love
...
There are fewer more distressing sights
than that of an Englishman in a baseball cap
Yeah, we'll die in the class we were born
That's a class of our own, my love
(c)the libertines, time for heroes

If you've lost your faith in love and music
Oh the end won't be long
Because if it's gone for you then I too may lose it
And that would be wrong
(c)the libertines, the good old days

Where did you go? I don't know
Didn't say goodbye
Where did you go? I don't know
Left me wondering if love's just a lie
Everywhere I go, people say, "Who's that funny guy?
"All he does is hang his head and cry
"Sometimes he moans
"Sometimes he moans
"'Oh, why?'"
(c)pete doherty, sweet by and by

We lived a twisted little fairy story
Up on the 5th Floor
(c)the libertines, anything but love

I can't believe you've listed everything
I stole since we met
But I stole no kisses
Just some books
And the odd cigarette
(c)pete doherty, Love Reign o'er Me

Well I gave you the Midas touch
Oh you turned round and scratched out my heart
(c)dirty pretty things, bang-bang your dead

Because you tell me what you want and I'll avoid it
Tell it to the sick and to the damned
Show me what you love, watch me destroy it
For your love just crumbles in my hands
(c)babyshambles, the Ballad Of Grimaldi

An ending fitting for the start
you twist and tore our love apart
your light fingers through the dark
shattered the lamp, into darkness it cast us

No you've got it the wrong way round
you shut me up and blamed it on the brown
cornered the boy kicked out at the world
the world kicked back alot fuckin' harder now
(c)the libertines, can't stand me now

We shared out dreams
And nearly everything in between
I'll never forget those
Long lost days in a haze
Where we lost ourselves with no apology
(c)dirty pretty things, faultines

Just blood runs thicker, oh
We're as thick as thieves, you know
If that's important to you
It's important to me
I tried to make you see
But you don't wanna know
You don't want to know!

If you pipe all summer long
Then get forgiven in a song
Well that's a touch, my lad

They sold the rights to all the wrongs
And when they knew you'd give me songs
Welcome back, I said
...
Oh what became of the Likely Lads?
What became of the dreams we had?
Oh what became of forever?
Oh what became of forever
(c)the libertines, what became of the likely lads?

If you wanna try,
there's no worse you could do
I know you lie, I know you lie
I'm still in love with you...
(c)the libertines, can't stand me now
