The Libertines
Boys in the Band
Im almost certain that this is totally correct as i have
spent absolutely ages on it. A couple of bits and pieces
in the chorus may sound strange but if you listen carefully
and pick out the bass line that is what he is playing if you're
playing it at the right time.

| It's something about how they sing the chorus. I have no idea how they do it. But it sounds like those words always were together that way. Amazing. Well it's definitely about the never-ending nights & limo's & parties & groupies & rude behaviour & fights & all that comes w/being in such a beloved band. One fantastic song. | |

| As i look at these and listen to the song, it would seem that some of the lyrics are wrong... | |

| When they say 'they all get them out' at first I thought they were talking about breasts. But when you look more into it, it could also mean 'hey the boys are in town break out the party favors get them some beers' | |
