Story behind the song
this was inspired by Pete Doherty following the split of the Libertines, its not meant to be judgemental, two sides to every coin...who knows how we end up where we are.
Lyrics
took a walk through hamburg
saw your face shining out
took a while to recognise
the thoughts that you had inside
and everybody said there goes a man
with a troubled mind
asked you how your feeling
you said its been a while
since anyone asked
but plenty still enquire
i want to know
why the caged bird flies
cos i'm dying inside
and i can see you light up the world
while yours falls apart
took me on a trip with you
down by the old canal
and the destruction
was plain for all to see
and all the children laughed
as you danced on by
with flowers in hand
you say that winter has you in its grip
underneath your own glass jar
and i can see all the distorted truths
fall down your face like stars
you say i don't want to wait
for the world to light
while i die
fall from grace
fall from grace
