HorrorShow Lyrics
I've been following, following
Your minds instructions
On how to slowly, sharply screw (sca-rew) myself to death
Ah yes, there is a screw
It's pointing at my head
Then look a dream peddler
And a stick of light through my bones
"Don't get on the wrong one"
"Oh you and you what's your game"
And won't you lay me down, please lay me down
Pin me up or put me down
Uh uh uh uh oh
Now let it all go
It's a horror show, come on round
Horror show, the horse is brown
Left something in Moscow
She said "I'll show you a picture
A picture of tomorrow
There's nothing changing
It's all sorrow
Oh no please don't show me
I'm a swine, and you don't wanna know me"
And still im following, I'm following your minds instructions
On how to slowly, sharp-ely screw myself to death
Ah yes, there is a screw
Here pointed at my head
It's pointed, won't you lay me down, please lay me down
Pin me up or put me down
Uh uh uh uh oh
Now let it all go
It's a horror show, come on round
Horror show, the horse is brown
Left something in Moscow
I've been following, following
Your minds instructions
On how to slowly, sharp-ely screw (sca-rew) myself to death
Ah yes, there is a screw, screw
It's pointed at my head
Pointed, won't you lay me down, please lay me down
Pin me up or put me down
Uh uh uh uh oh
Please now let it all go
It's a horror show, come on round
Horror show, the horse is brown
Oh.
Your minds instructions

Pin me up or put me down
Uh uh uh uh oh
Now let it all go
Horror show, the horse is brown
Left something in Moscow
A picture of tomorrow
There's nothing changing
It's all sorrow
Oh no please don't show me
On how to slowly, sharp-ely screw myself to death
Here pointed at my head
Pin me up or put me down
Uh uh uh uh oh
Now let it all go
Horror show, the horse is brown
Left something in Moscow
Your minds instructions
On how to slowly, sharp-ely screw (sca-rew) myself to death
It's pointed at my head
Pin me up or put me down
Uh uh uh uh oh
Please now let it all go
Horror show, the horse is brown
Oh.

"The horse is brown" horse is slang for heroin. I'm assuming thats how its intended on this.

One of these lines came from something Pete's ex girlfriend said, and when the band became big she started badmouthing him in the papers saying that he'd stolen the lyric from her, and so he was badmouthing her, saying she was a nutter basically
oh yeh it also might be relevant that pure heroin is white whereas the street stuff that has been cut with other substances is brown.
My favorite Libertines song.
Lot's of drug references in this song... i love it to pieces. It's desperate and fast, it starts and stops suddenly, it's shambolic, it's truly libertines.
' "I'll show you a picture a picture of tomorrow there's nothing changing it's all sorrow" oh no please don't show me ' breaks my heart
\"I\'ll show you a picture a picture of tomorrow there\'s nothing changing it\'s all sorrow\"
Maybe I\'m insane, but that smacks of Dorian Gray to me...
Pete once went to russia doing poetry for some reason...he literally must have left something in moscow
Pete said he left his dignity in Moscow, I think.... and Dorian Gray was a proper narcississt
