Beg, Steal or Borrow Lyrics
Oh I love this beautiful song!- It brought tears to my eyes when I saw Pete perform it on "friday night with johnathan ross" - it was a gorgeous performance.
beautiful song in my opinion 2. i've seen pete perform it now on both jonathon ross show and that transmission programme thing. i luv it.
A song of hope? looking forward to getting clean? A song of disgust about the way he's been treated? itd probably self explanatory, but who cares? Its megger!!
Hint of Simon n Garfunkles Mrs Robinson, It's another self indulgent rasp from Mr. D. I like his other shit, you know like the stuff with the Libs where he aint talking about himself. Observational philosphy is his strength.
..Or atleast when he has to talk about himself he should turn it into a good tune with a good melody...
fantastic song! just talks of the time of been on drugs been like groundhog day and how he wants to try breakfree! really sad and moving song!
i thought the lyric went '...all the sorrow tries to chore, oh but if i change my tune, maybe i wont be bound to doom...' this is definitly one of my favourite doherty acoustic songs, his voice on the acoustic sounds so raw, yet soft, fitting with the sorrowful lyrics. i remember the first time i saw it on jonathon ross it gave me goosebumps! definitly a classic.

i remember reading/hearing an interview where pete says about how reporters 'will tell you anything just to get you in the car' and talk to you, and sometimes if he's trying to get away quick from somewhere he'll jump in..
also 'oh what a life on mars' sounds quite hancock influenced ('stone me, what a life') but also the obvious relation is to david bowie...but i dont know
One of the best Shambles tracks, possibly the best
