Waiting fot Pete Doherty to Die

Buy all the papers,

Sell them on ebay;

Your dissertation is due in two days.

Read the tributes on the 'net,

Move on, try to forget,

Find out what a french man says,

Cut the words into your chest,

Bleed for days,

Stumble home in a haze:

We know so much

We know so much

We're sitting on the hillside

Contemplating our careers.

The sun slowly sets -

The city disappears.

All the things we understand and

All the things we try:

Waiting for Pete Doherty to die...

Someone come and tap this pain!

I haven't cried since Kurt Cobain.

Take my money all away

I never earned a penny anyway

Give me drugs and give me sex and

Blood diseases! Broken legs!

Give me peace and give me news

Cry me to sleep with the blues.

We know so much

We know so much

We're sitting on the hillside

Contemplating our careers.

The sun slowly sets -

The city disappears.

All the things we understand and

All the things we try:

Waiting for Pete Doherty to die...

And love must have

What love wants

And love must have

What love wants

We're sitting on the hillside

Contemplating our careers.

The sun slowly sets -

The city disappears.

All the things we understand and

All the things we try:

Waiting for Pete Doherty to die...

We're sitting on the hillside

Contemplating our careers.

Everything seems grey these days,

Perhaps it's been that way for years?

We won prizes for our youth

In the days gone by

Now we're waiting for Pete Doherty to die.
