Libertines, The - France Lyrics
The ideal girl,
In London from France
Came Over and left me,
She left me entranced.
Now I have to get by,
Nothing but... memories.
See i remember your eyes,
In their dark shade of brown,
While these blue eyes of mine,
They stay closed.
I kissed you goodby on the M-109
I choked as I watched the bus go, oh-oh
[Instrumental chorus]
Choking and smoking to your angelic soul,
Choking and smoking myself into a hole,
where the only way out is to sleep and to dream,
and to cry... out your na-a-ame

Libertines, The France Comments
A song about smoking crack to deal with a broken heart - a song I can relate to and makes me reminisce. 7 years clean now.
T'es un Français Pete. Carl aussi.
very Django Reinhart! love it
take out the crap, the childish silly shouting etc., and multiply the rest - and the result is: a great song!
Whats amazing about all the tracks of that time: its hard to belive that it was practically written by KIDS! This is very much grown-up style & quality music! ....
Amo a Andrea
I love this version so much more than the one on what became of the likely lads, tho that one's a bit slower and sexier. this song never gets old ❤
Agreed, it has a smoother soul-y feel, more so than Likely Lads
I used to cry so hard then. Now it is just a memory. A someone who was but never will again.
LADIES AND GENTLMEEEN, CARLOS BARAT WITH HIS SELF-PENNED CONTEMPORARY BALLADRY CLASSIC... FRANCE

My guess is that they didn't know where to put it in the record, so they put it as an hidden track.
I always wondered why they tagged this song to the end of What Became of the Likely Lads. Anyone know?
Its the way it is on the LP, its a hidden track so it might have been cut that way for streaming/CD releases?
Still, it's neither of them, the version from the documentary is not acoustic.
theres two more on the babyshambles sessions xx
Choking and smokingggg
Anyone knows where to find the "third" version heard in the documentary "There Are No Innocent Bystanders" ? I can only find 2 versions of "France" : this one, and the hidden track.
That's the skag and bones version, me thinks.
God, I LOVE IT!
@xXxJokerManxXx why?
Can I buy this version anywhere??
i am fucking proud that i can do this on guitar
xXxJokerManxXx tutorial please :)
