Doherty, Peter - Who's Been Having You Over Lyrics






It's more or less that time, is it?
To revisit the how, the why, the what, wheres and when
And if you're still inclined to give it credence
Or jib it on as a conspiracy then

You're so rock 'n' roll
My, you're so rock 'n' roll
Oh but the rhyme that it took
To fill the right hook
You need a miracle
A crow bar and a miracle

Who's been having you over?
Yeah, who's been tucking you up?
Shaking you down?
Who's been having you over?
The world once was flat, the world got round

Made the maid a fresh spring bonnet
He flicked ash on it
Slipped down legs akimbo into the grave
Spat out a hex on it
Effects all on it
Stanley on the rebound at the Jesus save
Oh, that's so nonsensical
So rock and roll

Oh, the D.A ran checks on it
Found a sulphur speck on it
And now you need an alibi
The best that money can buy

And who's been having you over?
And who's been tucking you up?
Fucking you round?
Who's been having you over?
Well, you're free to go, don't leave town

So rock and roll
So rock and roll
So rock and roll

You'll need a miracle
Another fucking miracle

Who's been having you over?
Who's been tucking you up?
Shaking you down
Who's been having you over? Yeah
Shaking you down
Who's been having you over?
Who's been tucking you up?
Shaking you down
Who's been having you over?
Word gets back, word gets round

  31. R.... C....

    the best song ive heard in last few years proper music this none of your manufactured garbage like most acts today ive ordered the album

  32. D.... H....

    And this is supposed to be good is it? Boring, plodding, weak tea indie rock. Yawn.

  33. s.... h....

    magnificient

  34. M.... P....

    This is about conspiracy theories, maybe Pete is a flat earther!
    It's more or less that time, is it?
    To revisit the how, the why, the what, wheres and when
    And if you're still inclined to give it credence
    Or jib it on as a conspiracy then
    The world once was flat, the world got round!

    M.... P....

    @Trying-Hard Tobeashepherd I agree with you. But how do you interpret the lyrics then? It seems pretty obvious to me that that's the meaning of the verses i quoted.

    M.... P....

    @Mark Peterson The title alone should tell you where Pete's head is at. 'having you over' means 'having you on' or simply put, 'who is pulling your leg?'. He may be talking about conspiracies, but to me it sounds like he is mocking them. The song may be directed at someone he knows who does swallow shit like flat earth, but Pete doesn't, even reading those lyrics.

    M.... P....

    @Trying-Hard Tobeashepherd The title could be interpreted both ways, and the lyrics don't suggest that he's mocking conspiracies at all, the opposite I would say with all that "you're sooo rock n roooolllll" verses ecc.

    M.... P....

    @Mark Peterson I'm trying to give him the benefit of the doubt by saying he is is looking elsewhere, at someone else and asking them 'who's having you over', but if we take your interpretation, then poor ole Pete is lost! Anyone who even entertains the idea of a flat earth for a moment doesn't deserve anyone's respect. The big question for us is, Pete Doherty, troubled genius who needs to self medicate to take the edge off his perception of the world, or Pete Doherty, drugged up fool!? I have heard stories of Carl (the Libertines guitar player, I hope I have his name correct)having the wool pulled over his eyes in jest. He was described as 'a nice fellow, a little shy, perhaps not too bright'., so it is not out of the question that his former band mate would also be nice, but dim. Let's hope it's my interpretation that is the correct one, eh?! ;)

    M.... P....

    @Treyana Read the beginning of our discussion before you butt in on a conversation we had months ago. We were not discussing his problems. We were discussing what he meant by saying 'having you over'. In fact, I was giving him the benefit of the doubt, so be informed before you butt in next time, thank you.

  35. L.... C....

    What do you guys think about the lyrics of this amazing song?
    "It's more or less that time, is it?
    To revisit the how, the why, the what, wheres and when
    And if you're still inclined to give it credence
    Or jib it on as a conspiracy then!"
    "The world once was flat, the world got round!"


    What do you make of this?

    L.... C....

    Nice.
    But I struggle on the 2nd verse.
    Please help

    L.... C....

    dunno about the lyrics but since I live in Margate I did notice some blatant false advertizing!! there are no Flats to let in Margate! and most people are homeless

  36. R.... C....

    i hope they sell so many albums

  37. N.... S....

    Doherty the genius thread in all his bands.. A golden chord.

  38. T.... C....

    It’s fucking shite

  39. S.... K....

    I can't believe how few people are interested in Pete Doherty these days. I hope rock n roll comes back again

    S.... K....

    Stephen Kater it’s better that. He and his band have a cult following which gives it more of a real feel about them. Unlike mainstream god awful shite that’s rammed down our throats these days.

    S.... K....

    Absolutely consider how big the Libertines used to be . It's a totally different era right now. :(

    S.... K....

    @Moe Morrissey I guess you're right, but he's a gem

  40. U.... F....

    Pete Doherty just put up 2 fingers toanyone who said he was a fucked up up smack head. your not able to put input into these tunes if heroin is your main focus. my man wants to better humanity just a shame the rest of you aren't on that level!!!! anyone remember what a waster???????

  41. J.... A....

    It’s in my head and I’m not letting it out.

  42. g.... q....
