that is pete at the start, cant you tell. its him trying to be a common londoner. a great song though! :) x carl sings te main lyrics but pete arses around with it.
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.
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! ....
LADIES AND GENTLMEEEN, CARLOS BARAT WITH HIS SELF-PENNED CONTEMPORARY BALLADRY CLASSIC... FRANCE
I used to cry so hard then. Now it is just a memory. A someone who was but never will again.
hope you are doing all good in the present madam and didn't forget this song
Just replayed this classic cos it’s the perfect length right before a work call starts.
2021 and this still hit correctly
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.
Proud of you. Keep it up
How do u know its about smoking crack??
I'm thinking of becoming a junkie is it worth it ?
@@jeepmccann752 fuck no mate. Look how it destroyed pete's life
Hope you are still doing good 🖤🎼🙏
Still iconic in 2020 ♥️
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 love the 2 voices so much
It makes me cry so much.
Ladies and Gentlemen, Carlos Barat with his self -penned contemporary ballad...
The classic France!
2023 and this still hit correctly
Watched Carl perform this on Wednesday, one of my favourite libertines song. So nice
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?
You definitely just saved me from tripping out any longer on Spotify. "Why can't you f***ing find France, I heard you like 30mins ago!!!". Thanks.

@shortbedtimestories Still iconic even in 2023... Love it
God, I LOVE IT!
i am fucking proud that i can do this on guitar
xXxJokerManxXx tutorial please :)
very Django Reinhart! love it
My guess is that they didn't know where to put it in the record, so they put it as an hidden track.
carl does all of it

Amo a Andrea
awesome
theres two more on the babyshambles sessions xx
Love the legs 11 demo. The 2nd vocal on this track is john.
What album is this on? I cannot remember and I don't think it's on the Odessa recordings. Thanks everyone!
This is the hidden track from the 2nd album, its on "what became of the likely lads", the album version is bit different tho
@iamsteviewonder2 It Sure Is.
Very Good Songs :D!
tio esa song es de la puta madre
(y)
i prefer the version thats on the end of what became of the likely lads, still amazing song though.
It's only John, Karinefk. I like this game. SOMEONE SAY GARY.
Still, it's neither of them, the version from the documentary is not acoustic.
Can I buy this version anywhere??
its the libs, but carl is singing
I like "in that fine shade of brown" better
Choking and smokingggg
swear this was removed on spotify :(
Its plays at the end of ‘What became of the likely lads’ another libs song
