Un Bilo Titled

Band songlist

Info

UnBiloTitled is a Babyshambles song, that features as track #4 on their second album, Shotter's Nation. The writing credit for UnBiloTitled goes to to Peter Doherty, Adam Ficek and Peter Wolfe. The song was released as a B Side to the Side of the Road limited-edition 7" single in April 2010 of which only 1000 copies were created and only made available at independent record stores across the UK for Parlophone's "Record Store Day".

UnBiloTitled is one of the older tracks on the album, dating back to at least 2004 where it was released as an acoustic track by Doherty in his Acousticalullaby sessions. Another acoustic version of this song featured in the Stookie and Jim Bumfest Demos, recorded by Doherty and Mik Whitnall. By the time it was released on Shotter's Nation in 2007, the lyrics had changed a lot since the version from 2004, and now told the story of three characters; "Blue Eyes," "Bilo" (a nickname for Peter Doherty) and "Wolfman" (Peter Wolfe, Doherty's close friend and co-writer of this song).

When a photograph of what appeared to be a tracklisting for Peter Doherty's solo album leaked in January 2006 (after a New Year's Eve guerrilla gig), "UnBiloTitled" was listed as Track #12. When Doherty's debut solo album, Grace/Wastelands was eventually released in 2009, however, the track did not feature.

Lyrics

He's stronger than the walls
That you tried to build around him
To dumb and dumbfound him, for
2000 years I waited for your call
Screaming from the window
Screaming bloody murder

The more that you follow me
The more I get lost
You think that you know me
You're pissing me off
Yeah you say that you love me
Why don't you fuck off?
And you wanna think that you own me
You're ripping me off

I messed my head and I messed my head
how could that be?
Just to shine fire upon, everyone and no one
I messed my head and I messed my head
how could that be?
To shine a fire upon, everyone and no one

Wolfman and Bilo, on the run.
Wolfman said to Bilo, "I'm calling it on."
Bilo said to blue eyes, "Put your trousers back on."

He's stronger than the walls
That you tried to build around him
To dumb and dumbfound him, for
2000 years I waited for your call
Screaming from the window
Screaming bloody murder
