First time I saw the Baron's claw
Gold and silver, bits of iron ore
Heads peering 'round the screen door
We all said, "Cor"
They'd just installed the first phone
At the ancestral home
And silhouetted by the fire, I saw
A phone in the claw
And all the children cried with joy
As they ran alongside
The big black car sped by
Steered by the Baron's claw
Next time I saw the Baron's claw
It's ripping through the grocer's door
He saved the family from the fire's roar
The Baron's claw
As his skin melted on the street
The Baron swayed on his feet
And held aloft the claw
We all said, "Phwoar"
And all the children cried
And walked alongside
As the car went by
Carrying the Baron's claw
Stories never grow old
When there's still things to be told
Things to be told
About the Baron's claw
And all the children cried
And ran alongside
The big black car sped by
Carrying the Baron's claw
Last time I was in Baron's court
I caught a whiff of molten iron ore
Through the cracks of the old forge door
Glow of the Baron's claw

The Libertines sono un gruppo musicale inglese di indie rock formatosi a Londra nel 1997. Il nucleo originale era composto da Pete Doherty (voce, chitarra), Carl Barat (chitarra, voce), John Hassall (basso) e Gary Powell (batteria). La band ha raggiunto il successo con l'album d'esordio omonimo del 2002, caratterizzato da un sound energico che mescolava influenze garage rock, punk revival e melodie pop. Tra i brani più noti figurano "Time for Heroes", "Can't Stand Me Now" e "Don't Look Back into the Sun". Dopo una serie di problemi interni e personali, inclusi quelli legati all'alcolismo e alle droghe di Doherty, The Libertines si sono sciolti nel 2005. Nel 2010 la band ha annunciato un reunion con l'uscita dell'album "Anthems for Doomed Youth", seguito da una tournée mondiale. Nel 2014 hanno pubblicato il loro terzo album in studio, "The Libertines". La band è considerata una delle più influenti del movimento indie rock britannico degli anni 2000.
