The only bad thing that could happen is one of us could get really hurt, and one of us could die. You can see in my expression that I’m delighted to be with my brother again. When we’re together, I feel a lot stronger. If you have a twin, and you lean against them, and you’ve both got one good arm—it is a bit like that. There’s a sense we shot out of the same cannon. Underlying love is a canvas to even our most hostile behaviour.

“I miss the purity of what me and Pete had together when we started out. It would be great to have that back. Pete always used to say, “Imagine the songs we still have to write.” That thought is always with me.”

“He’s quite a strange fella, Carl, really. He’s so talented, but he gets so wound up and nervous about his own capabilities. He’s always trying to make the excuse. He says ‘let’s go down to the beach’ or ‘let’s go to the lake and try to get in the right mood and try to get in the right frame of mind’. I’ll be like, ‘No, let’s just go sit down with some guitars and do some fucking writing.’ ‘Ah, OK. Let’s…’ It’s amazing what comes out.”

Interviewer: One of the most iconic Libertines tracks, ‘Time For Heroes’; the opening line – and the song as a whole – is a reference to the May Day riots. What d’you think about the more recent riots that happened in London and across the U.K.?
Peter Doherty: When they were kicking off and it was all on the news, I sent a text to Carl saying: “Did you see the…?” and he texted back saying: “Well, from what I saw outside Footlocker, they weren’t very stylish.”
