Pipedown

Band songlist

Info

Pipedown is track #5 on Babyshambles' debut album Down in Albion, and is credited to Peter Doherty and Patrick Walden. After Albion was released, a rumour began on the official Babyshambles forum that Pipedown and The 32nd of December would be released as a double A Side single, but this never happened, and the next single Babyshambles released was Janie Jones in 2006.

This song is considered a fan favourite, and often played during encores at Babyshambles' gigs. However, not many versions other than the official release have been recorded by Babyshambles.

Lyrics

Oh Paddy put the pipe down
If you got the right sound
If it's not the right sound
Neither am I, oh my oh my

Do your sums
Work out a fairer way
If it comes undone
Just paper over the cracks
And there ain't no turning back

Oh on The Sun
They make you out to be a tearaway
Comes undone
Ahh I just spoke to matt
pat,they want the money back

Ah put the pipe down
If you got the right sound
If it's the right sound
Oh my, oh my

Do your sums
Work out a fairer way
Can you play no fun
Oh what you think of that
Cause they wanted but...

You better pipe down
You got the right sound
Put the pipe down
Oh my, oh my, oh my

Na na-na na-na...

Oh Paddy put the pipe down
If you got the right sound
If it's not the right sound
Neither am I, oh my oh my

Oh Paddy put the pipe down
If you got the right sound
If it's the right sound
Oh my, oh my, oh my
