Pete Doherty Lyrics To Appear On T-Shirts
The man's wise words are promoting - bizarrely - the London Underground...
Pete Doherty lyrics with references to his beloved London will feature on new t-shirts and mugs to promote the London Underground.
Transport For London have announced a rights deal with EMI, which has seen them take lyrics from Doherty’s Libertines hit 'The Boy Looked At Johnny' and his Babyshambles track 'Albion'.
Other famous lyrics to be featured on the merchandise include Suggs's 'camden Town', The Small Faces' 'Itchycoo Park' (it's a real place in East Ham!) and Eddy Grant's immortal ode to Brixton, 'Electric Avenue' - South London's favourite local to rock down to.
