Dirty Pretty Things – Tired Of England Lyrics 17 years ago
So, "Carl The Cunt": I assume you've formed your opinion without any personal bias against the songs writer? *looks at your username* Obviously not.

As for the song, it's not too bad. Carl's written better and it was a bad choice for the first single.

As for the song's meaning:
It's a mixed sentiment. It's pretty much saying that England can be a bit shit to live in sometimes (and that the queen is basically an irrelevant figure) but ultimately, the good outweighs the bad.

Dirty Pretty Things – One To My Left Lyrics 18 years ago
If you read through it carefully, he's talking to someone who's obviously having similiar issues to him..

He's saying "Sit down and I'll tell you how I survived it".

For a song that has quite a few references to suicide (Eg: "Silently return to sharpening your knife" plus the whole chorus is basically saying 'Don't leave") it's incredibly hopeful and unlifting.

DPT's best song and one of the greatest B-sides ever.
