Merry Go Round

Something important is missing:

Said what I like most about you Pete, is your girlfriend and your shoes And it's nearly half past five Can we swap again Half past five, can we swap again

this song actually gets better after the fairly repetative merry go round (bridge?). the title is beautiful, and Pete falling down at the end is too humble. There's just so much potential in Pete, and this song is another one of those almost-songs, with almost-lyrics, and almost-luscious melodies. it really does well near the 3:30 ish part if you can stand it till then.

yea attack attack. much is missing. after the girlfriend and the shoes it becomes quite melodic and sweet. "you should get some ....sun on your face.... we've been sittin like a lord in the bath for days. it's getting so .....well, i don't even know you.
we get away with doin as little as we can... we musn't take it too far my friend. the Albion needs every man, woman, and child ...she can get her hands on".

...it was the first one of the day.

at the end he's screaming the second verse changes the ending to "i've been so good to that boy why did he steal all my {lines?}"

then pete falls down.fabulous

yessssss but what does it all mean??!?

"I've been so good to that boy Why did he steal all my ligters?" ^What he says before trying to sit down and falling. It's an improvised line about Pat.

i think this is the whole song, alot of these lyrics are missing.

you have always thinking of her You're in love and you don't know what to say But I saw her at the fair and she feels the same way She was married by the merry-go-round

The merry-go-round How merrily we go round How merrily we go round The merry-go-round

He was the first one of the day He was the last one of the night Oh hold me tight, hold me tight They said you were wrongened But I can see in your eyes How you are gentle and wise And you had the good stuff Oh there's a parade of girls outside That boy's so shy Why'd you punch out his lights?

He was the first one of the day He was the last one of the night Oh mop it up, she'll be alright Mop it up, she'll be alright There's a parade on the hall outside Come on and feel the air outside

Said what I like most about you Pete, is your girlfriend and your shoes And it's nearly half past five Can we swap again Half past five, can we swap again

Oh there's a parade outside That boy's so shy Why'd you punch out his lights?

you should get some sun on your face we've been sittin like a lord in the bath for days. it's getting so ...well, i don't even know you. we get away with doin as little as we can we musn't take it too far my friend. the Albion needs every man, woman, and child she can get her hands on

He was the first one of the day He was the last one of the night Oh hold me tight, hold me tight They said you were wrongened But I can see in your eyes How you are gentle and wise And you had the good stuff Oh there's a parade of girls outside I've been so good to that boy Why did he steal all my lighters?

i thought that "that boys so shy whyd you punch out his lights" was being jealous of an ex's new boyfriend and then kicking the crap out of them for no reason

but i think thats just me

It says “They said you where a wrong-en’” not “they said you where wrongened”

Everyone here is just confused. I just read. wait, I apologize. I just saw a picture of peter doherty with a lot of orange, then I thought "who the fuck is that?" --he looks pretty though. Then I actually bought the babyshambles (is that a group? does peter doherty have a mother?)CD. Then I attempted to listen to the CD. A couple of songs; catchy at best, headache (migraine style) at worst. For the most part; painful. Then (as if that wasn't enough), I uploaded the CD into my computer via windows media center. Then, (as if that still wasn't enough), I've spent the last 3 plus hours reading the lyrics (cuz WE ALL know the insert is just outrageous) AND all of your ridiculous, yet all so clear (I mean clarity--to the fullest) interpretations/analysis/meanings. And I get it, I totally do. There isn't anything confusing about peter doherty, the babyshambles, carl, paul walden, and or Kate Moss. It just makes sense. The only question I have-- really just the one. Who the fuck is Pete Doherty? Thank you & God Bless. Just brilliant.
