How do you do? I’d quite like to talk about that Talk over Gin in teacups and Leaves on the lawn Violence in bus stops And the pale thin girl with eyes forlorn More Gin in teacups and Leaves on the lawn Violence in dole queues And the pale thin girl Behind the checkout If you're looking for a cheap type Set in false anticipation Been waiting in the photo booth At the underground station Oh come away, let’s get away Could go to... Deptford, Catford, Watford, Gillingham, Nuneaton Anywhere in Albion Yellowing classics and canons at dawn Coffee wallahs and pith helmets And an English song Reebok classics Outside Ladbrokes at dawn Next to Paddy Power An English song And if you're waiting for that cheap sort A glint with perspiration There's a four-mile queue Outside the disused power station Oh come away, oh didn’t you promise we’d get away Could go to... Southampton Or South London East London North London Norfolk West London Or to Newcastle They’re still waiting for a cheap tart Glint in perspiration There's a five-mile queue Outside your disused power station Oh come away Oh, you promised we’d get away Could wind up in.. Dagenham, Sidcup Finsbury, Sheffield NorthField, Manchester Chichester, Doncaster Anywhere in Albion Video by Alex Sebley A buoyant spirit permeates Peter Doherty’s fifth solo album, Felt Better Alive, a gorgeous collection of poetic vignettes, both acoustic and orchestral, indie-folk and country, poignant and outright comic. Peter’s not only a survivor but a creative powerhouse, with more projects, plans and reasons to stay alive than he’s ever had. And in 2025, the year he turns 46, with Felt Better Alive, brings us some of the most deft, bouncy and charming songs of his always melodic life. Peter Doherty has released eleven albums - Four with The Libertines: Up The Bracket (2002), The Libertines (2004), Anthems For Doomed Youth (2015) All Quiet On The Eastern Esplanade (2024); three with Babyshambles: Down In Albion (2005), Shotters Nation (2007) & Sequel To The Prequel (2013); two solo albums: Grace/Wastelands (2009) & Hamburg Demonstrations (2016); one as Peter Doherty & The Puta Madres (2019) and a collaboration with Frederic Lo The Fantasy Life of Poetry & Crime (2022). #PeterDoherty #Albion
