Lyrics:
I gave my nights up for old songs, sound better alive,
I gave my life over to old songs, sound better alive,
I dredged the mouth of the Humber, felt better alive,
Slipped unnoticed across your border, felt better alive…
The song it skips and bumps along,
Seems to fall apart, then all I want as it comes together, sing the melody…
I tip-toed around gravestones digging up old songs, felt better oh my,
I tip-toed around gravestones digging up old songs, was a hell of a night...
The song it skips and bumps along,
Seemed to fall apart, then all at once it came together in sacred melody…
And I’d always planned,
To sing in a sweet and soulful way as only cowboys can,
But my saddle strap snapped like a dog-chewed tourniquet,
And the sky fell low over north London,
And it hangs low until this day.
I dreamt of gunfights in Toledo, when I opened my eyes,
I was in the layby north of Telford, an A-road layby,
And as the tour had gunked and jumped along, seemed to fall apart,
Then all at once ran true as a ley line under sacred Albion.
And I had always planned,
To sing in a sweet and soulful way as only a cowboy can,
But my saddle strap snapped like a dog-chewed tourniquet,
And the sky hangs low over Margate sands,
And it hangs low yet…

A buoyant spirit permeates Peter Doherty’s fifth solo album, Felt Better Alive, a gorgeous collection of poetic vignettes, both acoustic and orchestral, indie-folk and country, poignant and outright comic. Peter’s not only a survivor but a creative powerhouse, with more projects, plans and reasons to stay alive than he’s ever had. And in 2025, the year he turns 46, with Felt Better Alive, brings us some of the most deft, bouncy and charming songs of his always melodic life.
Peter Doherty has released eleven albums - Four with The Libertines: Up The Bracket (2002), The Libertines (2004), Anthems For Doomed Youth (2015) All Quiet On The Eastern Esplanade (2024); three with Babyshambles: Down In Albion (2005), Shotters Nation (2007) & Sequel To The Prequel (2013); two solo albums: Grace/Wastelands (2009) & Hamburg Demonstrations (2016); one as Peter Doherty & The Puta Madres (2019) and a collaboration with Frederic Lo The Fantasy Life of Poetry & Crime (2022).
