Pete Doherty - I Love You But You're Green (Acoustic - Shaking & Withdrawn) HQ

I Love You But You're Green is track #2 on Babyshambles' debut EP, The Blinding EP. Even though the song was not officially released until late 2006 by Babyshambles, it is thought that Doherty wrote the track as early as before he joined The Libertines, along with others such as Albion. As well as being recorded for Babyshambles, this song has been recorded at least once with Carl Barat for The Libertines' Babyshambles sessions in May 2003, and recorded many times by Doherty acoustically. Many fans prefer the older versions of this song rather than The Blinding EP release due to the slowed-down-tempo. A music video for I Love You But You're Green was also released, despite the fact it has not yet been released as a stand-alone single. The video was directed by Julien Temple, and it features the individual band members playing their instruments, never together but at separate locations. Adam Ficek and his drumkit are perched on a traffic island, Drew McConnell is strumming his double bass by a log fire, Mik Whitnall is in a graveyard and Peter Doherty is hanging around, singing and strumming, in front of a run-down wooden shack and later in front of a pile of tyres in an old car yard. Doherty said on The Culture Show that the lyrics came from a part of Graham Greene's novel 'Brighton Rock,' and 'I Love You But You're Boring,' a song by The Beautiful South
