“It was Pete Doherty’s visit that’s stuck in my memory though. He was wearing a trilby hat and a long mac – and he’s surprisingly tall! – and came up to the counter and he bought a Dad’s Army VHS box set.

This is when Babyshambles were quite big, so it would have been about 2007 or 2008. Too late to be buying VHS anyway! I just remember him pulling out a crumpled wad of £50 notes and spending a few hundred pounds on various things.”

The proprietor of Manchester’s Vinyl Exchange reminisces about Peter visiting. https://www.manchestereveningnews.co.uk/whats-on/music-nightlife-news/pete-dohertys-favourite-box-set-15489096

Sheepskin Tearaway | Peter Doherty

All your fighting got you nowhere
If nowhere’s here with you on my skin
And you could fight forever but if you killed them all you’d never win
So give me your surrender, there are other ways to kill the pain
But this will never mend you
It’s like trying to dry your eyes in the pouring rain
