Dirty Pretty Things

Dirty Pretty Things were an English band fronted by Carl Barât, a member of The Libertines. The formation of the band was announced in September 2005, after a dispute between Barât and Pete Doherty led to the breakup of The Libertines in 2004. Barât had worked with Vertigo Records and had previously revealed that his new project was with the label. Didz Hammond announced he was leaving the Cooper Temple Clause to join the band alongside Libertines drummer Gary Powell and guitarist Anthony Rossomando, who had filled in for Doherty following his departure from The Libertines. They played their first shows in October 2005 in Italy and Paris, France. They announced their split on 1 October 2008 and played their final shows during November. more »

so when we're in the dark
you won't even look me in the eye
i got surprises girl that you won't really like
but under motorways and on scaffolding
shared all our big ideas
but if it's not the way s'not the way
what am i supposed to say

knows when to try
don't dare look her in the eye
she'll be gone by tomorrow nite
don't dare look her in the eye

when i found you it was yesterday
a scar tissue dustbin kid
tried to delay the rat catcher
and for a while i did
keeping wolves back from the door
the ghosts back in the past
we could keep each other grounded
if we don't grow up too fast

always one to try
don't dare look her in the eye
she'll be gone by tomorrow nite
don't dare look her in the eye

so this is how it ends
just trampled to the floor
showed you nearly all my heart
and you showed me the door
so hello to these lonely streets but they had no idea
that i'd promise the world to you
but leave you with the fear

always one to try
don't dare look her in the eye
and we know that boys don't cry
we'll be gone by tomorrow nite
always one to try
don't dare look her in the eye
she'll be gone by tomorrow nite
gone by tomorrow nite
