| The Libertines – Time For Heroes Lyrics | 14 years ago |
|
I seriously hate it when people try to find meaning in songs that aren't there! "The stylish kids in the riot" refers to a day when there was a football riot in London. Pete used a safetyguards visors reflection as a mirror while fixing his hair, and the result was Peter Doherty getting his ass kicked by said safetyguard, thus "the stylish kids in the riot". Peter Doherty has explained that part himself! The baseball cap has nothing to do with loss of a national identity! The story behind that was that while Peter Doherty was walking down the street, and an englishman in a baseball cap screamed at Pete, "you fucking cracker", and started beating him. (there is actually a policereport about htat, look it up) It's all in the book - "The libertines - bound together". Read the fucking literature before you start misinterpreting the lyrics of one of the best bands in the world! |
