Cover art for Vertigo lyrics by Libertines, The

The line 'Take a tip from me, climb up to her window ledge' to me means building the courage to make a move for a girl you like. It reminds me of Romeo climbing up to Juliet's window ledge.

Then the next line saying 'or you'll forever be; walking under ladders as the people around you hear u crying please' meaning if you don't, you will be left alone as everyone else has made the ladder climb up to their Juliet's window ledge.

Awesome song.
