El tema Flags of the old regime es la canción con la que Pete Doherty escogió para homenajear a su amiga Amy Winehouse, cuyos beneficios irán destinados a la Amy Winehouse Foundation, una asociación que trabaja para prevenir los efectos del uso indebido de las drogas y el alcohol en los jóvenes.

El líder de Babyshambles y The Libertines, Pete Doherty, era un buen amigo –y compañero de fiestas– de la fallecida en 2011 Amy Winehouse.

Puedes escuchar el tema a continuación:

La canción de Pete Doherty fue producida por Stephen Street (hombre tras el sonido de The Smiths, The Cranberries o Blur) y con Drew McConnell de Babyshambles al bajo.

Si deseas conocer la letra, es la siguiente:

Let’s have it right
We all know the score
Been up for three nights
Youâ’re stuck behind the door chewing off your jaw
The fame they stone in
You shouldered it

Made your fortune
But you broke inside
I don’t want to die anymore
Anymore than I did want to die before
The fame they stoned you in
You soldiered it in

Made your fortune
But you broke inside
Stand up there in front of the whole world
And you don’t feel them songs no more
Oh me, oh my, Amy

You won’t be coming down tonight
So letâ’s have it right
We all know the score
Been up for four nights
Stuck behind the door chewing off your jaw
The fame they stoned you in

Your tiny shoulders soldiered it
And you made your fortune
Stumble broken side
And have to stand up there in front of the whole wide world
And you don’t feel them songs no more
Oh me, Amy, Amy
You won’t be coming down tonight
