When I first heard this song live I was a little surprised that it had come from the pen of Pete Doherty. Having always associated Doherty with sprawling romantacism and indie/punk music this grungey, stop start single is a bit of a shock but is in fact, rather good. Reminiscient of 'The saga' (Libertines song) it sees Doherty producing a fine lyric encompassing politics, life and his own problems (including the wonderfully witty line 'I'm so clever but I'm not very wise'). As for the music its very stop start and a little heavier than the usual Doherty but complinets the lyric nicely. If you can look past the brutal, obscenity in the title you'll find a song worthy of attention. A change but a welcome one at that.

FF is OK, but Pete sounds lifeless on this compared to, say, the first Libertines album. Monkey casino is so-so. Brett Anderson said he kicked crack to get back in touch with his muse. And ended up re-uniting with Bernard Butler & making the fine Tears album. Pete Doherty should take heed.

What ever happened to sex, drugs and rock and roll?

Besides all that, if you don't like the Libertines or Babyshambles music and think his drug addiction has had the same effect on kids as Clay Aiken has on soccer moms or whoever the hell listens to him, maybe you've just got some personal issues. Besides, who created the whole evil, selfish dope fiend. I've read plenty of interviews and listened to alot of his songs and haven't detected any self pity or inflated ego. Alot of sensitive people get very hurt by the world while being in love with it and few of them can put it into song, Pete being one of the best of them ever. He and his music are worthless cause he does drugs, if that were true my record collection of bands going back to Louis Armstrong, Billie Holiday, Robert Johnson etc would be pretty thin, (never mind the Stooges, Beatles, Stones, Dylan & Hendrix) Sorry for the tirade, but curmudgeon's review was just a bash (with hints of jealousy and a cassandra complex). I'd rather be a junkie capable of writing some of the songs that young Mr Doherty has than being a mean spirited cynic.
By the way, buy anything you can buy Babyshambles, Pete Doherty and the Libertines, I have I'm the better for it.

In reply to the other review...
Other members of the band - Drew, Patrick + Adam
other songs - east of eden, the man who came to stay, killamangiro, babyshambles...
Not saying this is their best song and the Libertines were way better but I've seen them live and they were brilliant. It's a shame that his drug problem & Kate Moss dominates the press because the music is great. And I am not a sheep. This song is damn catchy but killamangiro is better.

have been listening to music all my life, and ever since there has been a connection between drugs and r'n'r. get over your stupid problem with this fact. think back thru the great catalogue of r'n'r music, and what do you see, drugs and r'n'r'. damn you fool.
