Dirty Pretty Things - Romance At Short Notice (2008) by Dirty Pretty Things (보컬) on maniadb.com

We could throw ourselves in a road
But receive no comfort from street lights
Why not come in for a jamens and escape life?
We're idle in the mean time
Aristocrats and architects with broken dreams

Well, I say the dead sea is dying
You say you're going underground for a while
Well, we all need to be recognized for something
Not sure if the devil's eyes are blue
Work and days of underpaid still hold the key

I see this place from my window
It goes on the corner like the rest
There are the buzzards and the crows
Making eyes of a sea, self obsessed

Now, if commandment 11 is, "Don't get caught"
Then 12 must be, "Don't ever tell"
Then ask yourself do you believe you'll go to hell?
My mate went to the crossroads to see the devil
He never showed and if he says that I believe

I hear the place from my window
Call me like a lighthouse to the sea
There swarm the buzzards and the crows
Swirling wide talking wise and there's me

You and I hanging around
Lads who've got childish names
Scissors, we cut it out
Shining before by the waves

And I need to be recognized
'Cause we could be self-assured
We could be happy indoors

I know this place from my window
I trip out and fall to the ground down below
Hoods up for the buzzards and the crows
Who believe in the void of themselves
Still believe in the void of themselves

And all the trees and animals of mountains green

I am a hippy's son
I'm into porn and guns, I'm virile, fertile
I scream when I come
Related to you all by 6 degrees

I am a fire sign
I've never swung with the times
Spreading honey on thorns and truths that rhyme
My stories are all tall

But it's so obvious
It's bloody outrageous
They try and they try
But they'll just never save us

Hush, hush my love
Come fall into these arms
Hush, hush my love
Come fall into my arms
Hush, hush my love

I am my father's son
I'll kick your teeth in and run
A bulldog blinded by rainbows and sun
I'm related to you all, I think that you'll all agree
I'm naked to all

But it's so obvious
It's bloody outrageous
They try and they try
But they'll just never save us

Hush, hush my love
Come fall into these arms
Hush, hush my love
Come fall into my arms
Hush, hush my love

I was your baby boy
I was designed to destroy
Flushed in crime
Fascist's tannoy

I am a hippy's son
I am a hippy's son
I am a hippy's son
I am a hippy's son

You sauntered off and you said how’s tricks
You can’t mix drugs with your politics
But we took and talked and lost the plot
And after that everything seemed fine
In this distinct and beautiful collide
We drag each others worlds round under the tide
With intoxicated hands
Cold cold hearts
And well laid plans


Are you listening
Are you listening
As the days
Like the waves
Pile up behind you


La la la la la
Keep it on
Melt my plastic heart
And help me move on
Why can't I move on?


How do you escape
The great pails of pouring rain
Go to a foreign land or a house in Spain oh
La la la la la la oh
Oh how I'd kill to go
Erect the gutters and rib us in
Life or buildings and medicines
We all make the same mistakes
Our pitfalls pull us together


Are you listening
Are you listening
As the days
Like the waves
Pile up behind you


La la la la la
Keep it on
Melt my plastic heart
And help me move on


Kick this round our bedroom floor
Hate the daylight hours which you wont ignore
But the tide, the tide has drifted away


Are You listening
Are you listening
As the days like the waves decisively pull us under


La la la la la
You keep it all
Melt my plastic heart
And help me move on
La la la la la
Keep it on


There's friends for life and accquaintances,
There's romance from great distances,
There's been so many casualties,
But i cannot wallow over these
Oh no

How can they be tired
of England
They'll never know
the England
that we know
Never know where the ones
with the dreams go no
Never notice the skies
with their eyes down low
We'll never be tired
of England
United in rain
in the cities
To channel the pain
and the pity's woe
To carry them back to
the place below
With the blues the greys
the green the brown
To lonely nights uptown
Don't let them
bring you down
Lonely nights uptown
Don't let them
bring us down no
How can they be tired
of London
The sense in the
air on a warm day
Generation of hope
that sees better days
But moving along in the same old ways
We'll never be tired of London
From Clerkenwell into the city
The state of the roofs
is a pity though
Generations all cramped
with their kids in tow
With the blues the greys
the green the brown
To lonely nights uptown
Don't let them bring you down
Lonely nights uptown
Don't let them bring us down no
While the Queen of England
sits on her throne
Off bingo cards and chicken bones

Don't drink yourself to
a lonely death
In casinos on crystal meth
Don't drink yourself to
a lonely death
In casinos on crystal meth
So sing your song of
Banbury Cross
Don't breathe a word about your loss
Don't trust Old Nick to fall on dawn
Half sized cars and top shelf porn
How can they be tired of England
How can they be tired of England
How can they be tired of England
How can they be tired of England

Hails to the chancers As boredom kills like cancer We need dreams For the romancers And I'm looking to you Well, the life's so lonely I need my one and only If you know love Come on and show me Now I'm looking to you So come closer, come closer, come closer, come closer, come closer My resistance is low Come closer, come closer, come closer, come closer, come closer I'm not letting you go Had love and I set it free But it never came back to me, now The skies have gone ugly From Bolton to rugby As I’m looking for you Now come closer, come closer, come closer, come closer, come closer My resistance is low Don't pay mind to them you’re most beautiful when you don't bother So just let it go Ohhh ohhh ohhh It's hard to sacrifice so Let me out, Let me out Ohhhhhhh Well it's hard to sacrifice so Let me out I'm gonna find it all, I'm gonna find it all Ohhhh Come closer, come closer, come closer, come closer, come closer My the resistance is low Don't pay mind to them you’re most beautiful when you don't bother So just let it go

The fights, they never end
Like the nights, they've taken me over
And yeah I get the fear
But I cannot be bothered

All this waiting is just hesitating for nothing
And the fault lines
And all the conjecture from both sides
Why oh why can't we change things
This is destroying me inside

You know you wanna run away

We shared out dreams
And nearly everything in between
I'll never forget those
Long lost days in a haze
Where we lost ourselves with no apology

All this waiting is just hesitating for nothing
And the fault lines
And all the conjecture from both sides
Why oh why can't we change things
This is destroying me inside

You know you wanna jump in
To the pit
Back to life distorted (So sordid)
We fell down dead
But nobody saw it
I got twenty faces and I'm talking in tongues
I fell like the devil
What does the devil do?

You know you wanna run away

Fault lines all on the wrong side of daylight
Slight on the deck and its fine
We can hold on for a lifetime

You know you wanna run away

After a month our friendship waned
'Cause you're ambitious to a fault
How did I let you in my brain?
Just look in these western eyes

I've been lost a time or two
Not knowing what is evil
Or where to go

No prizes, no afterglow
Nothing left for you
But kicks or consumption

Thought Japan was out of bounds
But, oh, the boys just got to town
Oh no, and it's happening again

You and I have fallen out again
We're empty skirts to number ones
Why do I humor you in vain?
Just look in these western eyes

I've been lost a time or two
Not knowing what is evil
Or where to go

No prizes, no afterglow
Nothing left for you
But kicks or consumption

Clawing at the windows when the wheels came off
European playground turned out far too much
She tells me other people get the best of me
So maybe she will never get the best of me
There must be a devil at the BBC

I've been lost a time or two
Not knowing what is evil
Or where to go

No prizes, no afterglow
Nothing left for you
But kicks or consumption

Shock after shock from the snake she bites
Happy hour downtown, ladies night
With your townie boys who make your brethren fight
Night after night after night after night, go
Come on sweetheart, come on sweetheart, oh

It's an eye for any eye 'neath the hurricane sky
How will you find me a lover in time?
With your muscle vest clad lads who nearly fight
Close off your senses and turn out the lights
Turn out the lights

She had the best face in the place
She had the lip gloss and the grace
There's really nothing in the script she said
You can have what you want

Oh, heed this sound advice
No don't you tell me any lies
Look into these eyes, they see right through
Well, the skits the same but the face is new, oh oh

On the crying tarts who step
And broken hearts are all you get
The drinks go on and the beat's the resounding
The drinks go on and the beat's still sounding
Come on darling, come on darling, come on sweetheart, oh

You look pretty, pretty fit
For a pedestrian pounding
This nightclubs still shit
But be weary of the gypsy boy you're mounting

She had the best face in the place
She had the lip gloss and the grace
There's really nothing in the script she said
You can have what you want

Oh, heed this sound advice
No, don't you tell me any lies
Look into these eyes, they see right through
Well, the skits the same but the face is new, oh oh

The best that's what you'll get before
The walk of shame tomorrow
And the beat goes on, the beat goes on
Your monkey lots, they tumble 'round

You dance your fucking swan song
You dance your fucking swan song
You dance your fucking swan song
To a blundering oracle

So here's to your future
And your awful wedded wife

She had the best face in the place
She had the lip gloss and the grace
There's really nothing in the script she said
You can have what you want

Oh, heed this sound advice
No don't you tell me any lies
Look into these eyes, they see right through
Well, the skits the same but the face is new, oh oh

This is where the truth begins
Where teardrops glance the sallow skin
You lose your will
And I can lend you mine

The Westway wall's so tall and bleak
Reflect the words we dare not speak
By the bottle's end
We may have done our time

What you want is to stay away from people like me
Who twist most everything they see
And leave the gray old world behind you

So sow it up, kid, have some clout
We'll do some wine and fall about
The sun will shine again tomorrow
Oh, oh, oh, we'll look beyond the parapet
We are just bums lest you forget
We can beg, steal and borrow

Well, you say the pills will sort me out
Embolden me against
The manifestations of fear and doubt
I just forgot who I used to be

So, now I'm strung
Somewhere between a dream
And the humdrum day to day routine
A laurel wreath on the door to my heart

What you want is to wash your face and try to breathe
Forget your mind and shut your eyes so that you can see
And leave the gray old world behind you

So sow it up, kid, have no doubt
We'll walk the line and have it out
The sun will shine again tomorrow
Oh, oh, oh, for all the friends you've ever met
Some you'll love and some forget
Just hold on for tomorrow

So here's to now and all of us
With our sweet hearts we tried to make a brand new start
May the fabric never tear us apart

And some day when we're in the cold
Here's a semblance we can hope
So pick a posy and put it on your heart for me

So, now I move and if you're in
It wouldn't hurt just to give it a try and win
Don't forget who you're meant to be

What you want is to get a bike and do wheelies
But I bet you can't do 'em half as good as me
Throw it out when it's over, it's over

So sow it up, kid, have some clout
We'll go to mine and sulk about
How the sun will shine tomorrow
For all the friends you've not yet met
Some would die for you, I'll bet
So hold on for tomorrow

So sow it up, kid, have some clout
We'll go to mine and fuck about
The sun will shine again tomorrow
For all friends you've not yet met
Some would die for you, I bet
So hold on for tomorrow

This is where the truth begins
For more than seven deadly sins
And even though
I may have hurt your mind

Well, it took you seven years to learn my name
And I know it's all the drugs and booze that I took, lame
Oh, sh-sh-shame
(What a shame)

But it took me seven years to forget your name
All the drugs, all the fools and all the
The hanging around, I fell out of the game
What a shame

What would it take for me to be your man?
What would it take for me to be your man?
What would it take to make you understand?
What would it take to make you understand?

Well, all the filthy old Mary's and their Chinese dogs
So, is a no go, oh, if you know what I know, what?
I know what you know, oh dear

A million common people want to tear your head off
Just to show your bones to the night
Cause the night is when I'm satisfied
Woah, oh, oh

What would it take for me to be your man?
What would it take for me to be your man?
What would it take to make you understand?
What would it take to make you understand?
It can't be us ?cause the worlds gone cold

And if the hat don't fit ya
Yeah? It don't fucking fit ya

What would it take for me to be your man?
What would it take for me to be your man?
Well, what would it take to make you understand?
What would it take to make you understand?
It can't be us ?cause the worlds gone cold

Four more rotations and no one will hurt
These are the things I dream of
I've been thinking through the drinking
Though my confidence is shrinking

That I might be fine
The north would be so proud of you

Ooh, what would you do?
Ooh, when stars fall from the sky
And you're only two seconds from crying?

Paraffin, Anadin, sick as disguise
So we take our snappy patterns
And use them as knives
Now, there's nothing left for me to try
My own arrogance and humble pie

But I'll be alright
The north would be so proud of you

So, I'll see you tomorrow, shall we call it one
Trying to get the sparks to light
Seeing as they've gone
You don't know how to value that
But I know how to value that

I think we'll be fine
The north would be so proud of you

Ooh, what would you do
Ooh, when stars fall from the sky
And you're only two seconds from crying?

You look smart but that's not enough
You need a course in attitude, nobody's fussed
You can spend all your days planning what to buy
And then the signs all spin around, you'll pay your debts in time

You wanna shake, shake, shake to fit in all that much
There seem to be holes in everything his cold hands touch
And we'll take, take, take and swallow the whole way down
We may fall forever but we won't fall down

We'll, lie, lie, lie, lie, lie, lie, woah, oh
Lie, lie, lie, lie, lie, lie, woah, oh and it's on

There's blood on my shoes
Nobody knows
Because of you

Where did you go?
Where did you go?
Nobody knows
Where did you go?

You're pretty, so pretty
And if somebody loves you then leave us alone
All the rich get richer but still they cry
They sing the city is after us and we don't know why

Profound is the debt, the debt you owe
You owe it to sorrow and sorrow you owe
For when we're down the ship is all you've ever known
You go to glamor for the glamor but it's never your own, so alone

There's blood on my shoes
Nobody knows
Because of you

Where did you go?
Where did you go?
Nobody knows
Where did you go?

With our cock-eyed wistful vision we're oblivious
To all the hell we've raised, baby, that's how it should stay
When we don't feel change or pain or hate or love
We're going to reach for the sedative but it's never enough

For our fake, fake spirit and our masquerade
We have so many colors but still we dwell in the shade
I play the pugilist, the apathist in so many ways
It's always tomorrow or never, forever and a day, so alone

There's blood on my shoes
Nobody knows
Because of you

Where did you go?
Where did you go?
Nobody knows
Where did you go?
