Peter Doherty - Lady, Don't Fall Backwards Lyrics






Once upon a time
When the cold wind that blows
When the cold wind that blows in my heart
It was a summer breeze and she
Would meet me in Chinatown for opium and tea
And she always brought me flowers
But I spared you those old ballads
Or songs that I couldn't play
But every giro day
She'd dress me like a lady boy
And take me out of the way
Don't let the horse chase the new deal away, no
If we make love in the morning
I see your eyes look like two marbles in your head

Lady don't you fall backwards
C'mon and fall into my arms
Aw, don't you fall backwards
Well, I wouldn't want for you to come to any harm
Now tell me, if darkness comes
Then I will sing you a song
And I will love you forever
At least 'til morning comes
Lady don't you fall backwards
Come on and fall into my arms
Come on and fall into my arms

    "Third girl" by Agatha Christie:
    The element of Ariadne Oliver's bookLady, Don't Fall Backwards mirrors that of Hancock's Half Hour TV episode "The Missing Page", in which Tony Hancock tries to find out who committed the murder in a book he had just read with a missing page, with Oliver's concierge, Alf Renny, telling her that he had read her book four times and still had no idea who did it.

  5. H.... D....

    lyrically some of the best I've heard, ever.

  6. W.... ....

  11. G.... C....

    "once upon a time
    when the cold wind that blows in my heart
    was a summer breeze"

  12. S.... C....

  13. A.... ....

  17. P.... C....

    melodic and poetic.

  18. C.... H....

    He reminds me of Ray Davis. I'd love to hear Doherty do some rockabilly or early R&B, just to see what that would be like.

  19. e.... G....

    the best

  20. S.... S....

    oh Pete.my goodness.

  21. a.... ....

    Like if Johnny Oxford means anything to you

  23. b.... ....

    I didn't like this song at first but now I love it... Meet me in china town for opium n tea... so dreamy

  24. T.... ....

    This, with no doubt, the best, the saddest, the greatest, the most beautiful and broken heart love song of all time.

    T.... ....

    A jewel ❤️

  25. b.... m....

    eres el mejor doherty !
    cerdo !

  26. b.... ....

    sigh...................... so so so pretty

  27. j.... ....

    beautiful

  28. M.... ....

    @JasySykes93 Shame the sentences he recieves from others aren't half as beautiful.

  29. S.... B....

    @kaliyuta I bet he'd be disgusted by you too, you pig

  30. V.... ....

    @duallgunner

    that is so true...

  31. s.... a....

    the most romantic song i ever heard

  32. l.... ....

    the "chinatown for opium and tea" part feels like real

  33. V.... N....

    I think his music and poetry together is beautiful...but I think he's losing the substance.....the fame and drugs has just been wearing him away...it's keeping him in the headlights but the foundations that got him there in the first place are being forgotten......it seems to be a vicious circle for him too.

  34. p.... ....

    i love poor old Tony Hancock

  35. J.... H....

    Great song off a great album :)

  36. k.... N....

    Once upon a time...........

  37. R.... B....

    Next time some young person comes up to you and starts talking about how great this, or that rapper is, or how great Lady Goo Goo is I would suggest you let them hear this guy. Brilliant

  38. R.... M....

    I agree, but sorry, he isn't a good guitar player....

  39. c.... a....

    @chrisjoneschrisjones - dont say things like that about ya self, chin up am sure ya not that bad

  40. J.... H....

    Unbelievable song :)

  41. N.... H....

    he`s such a genius

  42. l.... ....

    as melancholic as ever ...

  43. O.... k....

    Dont mind the drugs or whatever, this is poesi and will be here long after the drugs are gone.. T.Y. P.D. you are flesh and blood.. Do it your way.

  44. m.... h....

    just to let u no there are a fair few songs by the beatles that are about drugs and they wrote songs whilst high on something thats what made them the best band in the world

  45. L.... ....

    great song...from italy :-)

  46. M.... ....

    not just singer, poet, guitar player and genius too!

  47. H.... R....

    the perfect song to dedicate to a girl

  48. e.... ....

    Oh I know that now, I listened to a few of his songs and they aren't bad at all!! :)

  49. e.... ....

    never said he was the only one to have gotten into it so don't make it out like I did.

  50. e.... ....

    Ok don't go getting snotty with me. I'm not saying there aren't others who do drugs. Look at Phil Lynott, a total legend and one who died of a drugs overdose. Many poeple still rave about Elvis (not my cup of tea but anyway) and he died the same. Beatles, I read somewhere that lucy in the sky was about LSD, they said it was from a picture one of their children drew. We could go all day listing off others who have (or are rumoured to have) done drugs. There is no need to have an attitude at me, I

  51. g.... ....

    LOL relax buddy, doherty rocks!

  52. g.... ....

    feck aff i'm just playin around mate.

  53. I.... ....

    You don't always have to remember him as the "junkie scumbag", that's how the tabloids want you to see him... Yes, he has done drugs, Yes, he has been into troubles. But the music is the only thing that really reveals who the man really is : an outstanding poet and a sweet soul.

  54. e.... ....

    This is the first of his songs I have ever heard, its lovely but I can't get the massi ve drug use out of my head so I'm torn!!

  55. g.... ....

    OPIUM AND TEA BIOTCH!

  56. A.... L....

    yeah he's a genius.

  57. N.... H....

    great job thank you so much!

  58. N.... G....

    who are you talking to?

  59. M.... K....

    what a wonderful album,im so glad he's kicking and writing great songs

    you dressed me like a lady boy
    and chased me high out of the way
    dont let the horse chase the new deal away
    if we make love in the mourning
    i see your eyes look like 2 marbles in your head
