He's got such a dry, funny sense of humor.... which is the best kind to have... not an in your face trying to make you laugh - but actually witty. If you aren't careful, you'll miss something really funny he says. I'm thinking that is why we (the posters here) are all here - WE GET IT!!! Yea for us because a dry sense of humor goes right over most peoples heads...they'll never get it even if you spell it out to them! SMILES folks!
''I wouldn't mind being an enormous eff off oak tree'' Best.line.ever. - was pretty close to asking him to write it for me in his autobio during his book signing but was advised against it in the end..haha
Oh, he definitely does! It's taken ages for me to learn to hear what he's saying (I'm American, so it's a rather foreign accent to me too), and even so, I still have to pause and go back a lot to decipher his mumblings. I'm glad it's helping people! ^_^
"I think I'm a bit of a coward. Oh, I'll fight to the death for a cause and I've spent my whole life looking for one, but, uh, when it comes to um, well, when it comes to telling someone that my food's cold... Yeah, any confrontation, I can't bear confrontation. But at the same time, I'm still ready to give my all to something."
"Well, I've got two honest answers. One of them is in a blaze of glory, uh, fighting for a cause and winning and saving the day and saving, erm, everything. And the other one is in an armchair surrounded by my family full of love, you know, a night by fire, everyone singing - sounds a bit gay, but, yeah, one of those two I don't know which one. Probably uh, probably the former right now."
A lot of people seem to have trouble understanding him (he does mumble a fair bit) so when someone asked for what he's saying, I posted it. If you don't care what he's saying, you don't have to watch the interview or read those comments.
"I think that a lot of people... I think that everyone is born with a purpose and uh a lot of people become frustrated and twisted. You know, the human being as a person shouldn't turn into pedophiles and violent psychopaths and I think this is a perversion of people losing their true cause."
"I love chivalry and elegance and class, but having said that, I'm a lazy bastard with ADD, so it's not a good combination. Um, yeah." "Tragically, I have no real life heroes. It might've been Joe Strummer, but as soon as I found out about him, he died." "I most dislike wasps - and I don't mean American WASPs - I most dislike wasps and people who embody similar tendencies. Nasty little bastards. "Probably teleporting or shooting bolts from my finger. Pshew! Pshew!"
He's easy to understand in this vid. Real life though, no idea lol everytime i've met him i haven't understood a word! just nodded along and hoped i wasn't agreeing to something terrible lol "is that bad?" aww, bless him lol
Skint: thank u for the info. Well, north england itself has so many different accents. Liverpudlians sound nothing like mancs and etc. - and they're not that far geographically from eachother at least by USA standards. But I do love that Basingstoke accent. He sounds cool.
"My purpose must be to find something, some kind of comfort in the void, and uh, and show other people the way to that, I guess. I mean, sounds a bit righteous, but if I do have a purpose then that's it." "I wouldn't mind being an enormous fuck off oak tree. I said, an enormous fuck off oak tree. Is that good? A big fuck off oak tree. Is that bad? D' you want something..."
I actually love it at 2:15 when he repeats himself and he almost scoffs a giggle! Such a wonderful man!
I love him dearly. you know you've won an amazing accomplishment when you can understand every word he says even through the mumbling.
Thank you again for posting that. I love what he said. I love Carl.
I can't stop watching... Just love the way he speaks.. And yeah, I understood everything...
Haaa I like his little "blaze of glory" motion and his expression when he says "a big fuck-off oak tree" the third time... cute :)

@Golub812 he had a tumor removed from behind his ear, the operation didn't go well after all and he can't hear much from one ear.
Someone asked what he's saying so I wrote it down.
yea doherty is the same way. i wonder if they every understood a word eachother said. mabie that is the true reason they split haha
fucking legend!
Skint: thank u for the info. Well, north england itself has so many different accents. Liverpudlians sound nothing like mancs and etc. - and they're not that far geographically from eachother at least by USA standards. But I do love that Basingstoke accent. He sounds cool.
haha he sounds a bit pissed
Could sb write what he's speaking? I don't understand anything. by the way, I love music, songs he's singing. =)) That music is best
Does anyone know where the full interview is? Without all of the cuts and what not?
"My purpose must be to find something, some kind of comfort in the void, and uh, and show other people the way to that, I guess. I mean, sounds a bit righteous, but if I do have a purpose then that's it."
"I wouldn't mind being an enormous fuck off oak tree. I said, an enormous fuck off oak tree. Is that good? A big fuck off oak tree. Is that bad? D' you want something..."
I love his accent. What part of England is he from? Sounds nothing like Manchester or London. Is he from maybe North England or something?
An enormous fuck off oak tree? What the Hell you on about Carlos? :P
Lol!! as soon as he learned about Joe Strummer he died?!!
Wow!!!
Practice, I guess? *L*
You're welcome!
Who does he say his real life hero might be, the one that died?
you can barely him talk! no 1 rivals the dpt, when's the next album?
