This is England !

The last king of every dying empire. Troisième extrait du nouvel album très attendu des Libertines, All Quiet on the Eastern Esplanade qui sort le 8 mars. Après Run Run Run et Night Of The Hunter, voilà Shiver qui aujourd’hui fait écho à un enterrement de première classe de l’habeas corpus. Comment ne pas voir dans ce cercueil, les morts noyés dans le channel. Ce que devient l’Europe fait en effet frisonner.

The Libertines sera en concert au festival Europavox de Clermont-Ferrand le vendredi 28 juin.

The Libertines – Shiver

The last dream of every dying soldier
I’ve seen you there
Flowers in your hair

The last dream of every dying lover
I’ve seen you there
flowers in your hair

It’s all too much today
Liz has gone away
Well the giant courtesan
With the tiny hands that makes

Me shiver
Shiver
For the Albionay

The last dream of every dying soldier
I’ve seen you there
Flowers in your hair

The last king of every dying empire
Just let it die
Sit back enjoy the ride

They all queued up to see
The old girl boxed away
As the tattered standard hits the ground
Another coronation day

Shiver
Albionay

There we were
Top and tail Arcadia
Reasons to stay alive
Not to die at 25

I shiver
On the Esplanade
Shiver
Albionay
