Great music videos: Babyshambles - Delivery

This is one of the most sad and sexy songs at the same time ever. As I understand it's about the worlds most famous junkie, Pete Doherty's view of the life and his struggles. At the same time there is something really sexy, loving and almost happy about the riff that just makes you hum it over and over again. Maybe it's just me that think sad musicians are sexy... haha. I love the contrast between the riff in the verse that is really staccato and the refrain that is really flowing. Just a really really good song. And the video kind of captures the whole essence of it... Pete in everyday scenes in his life and I am so glad it's in black and white. I really wish that someone would help him. I think he just must be a very very sensitive boy and a beautiful soul.

By or by the way of an explanation
Cast adrift off the shores of shotter's nation
I had a lick it caved my skull in like a brick
Oh now what use am I to anyone
I'm fucked, forlorn, frozen beneath the summer
Don't sing along or you'll get what I got

Here comes a delivery straight from the heart of my misery
Here comes a delivery straight from the heart to you

Yeah you now you now you you've finally left school
Oh what on earth do you intend to do
See if you can tick the man go downtown
Where all you skins and mods you get together
Make pretend it's 1969 forever
Find a girl have a drink have a dance and pray

This song might deliver me straight from the harshness of misery
Cos this song's a delivery straight from the heart to you
Yes here comes a delivery straight from the heart of my misery
This song might deliver me straight from the heart to you

Yes here comes a delivery straight from the heart of the misery
Here comes a delivery straight from the heart to you
