The Libertines - You're My Waterloo HQ video free download

You're My Waterloo is an early Libertines track, recorded by the band during their Odessa Studio Recordings. Although it was never actually released by The Libertines, it is sometimes still played at live shows, especially by Peter Doherty solo.

The lyrics are thought to refer to Carl Barat, identifiable through romanticized characteristics now central to the Libertines mythology (cigarette, flick knife, "never really had a home"). Most tellingly, the lyric "You are the survivor of more than one life" is paraphrased by Doherty in The Books of Albion: The Collected Writings of Peter Doherty in an early journal entry referring to Barat (p. 27).

Doherty dedicated You're My Waterloo to Barat at a solo concert at the Brixton Mass on June 17, 2008, after Barat was hospitalized with acute pancreatitis.
