| Dirty Pretty Things – One To My Left Lyrics | 16 years ago |
|
Did you ever have to do the thing you swore you'd never do Something filthy and impatient Something churlish, bold and shrewd Sit down my boy and I'll tell you exactly how I crawled right through that reminds me of carl, looking back into his past, feeling remorse about *obvious things* and how everything turned out to be. maybe the phone call he had to make, telling pete not to come to paris for their tour? he admitted in later interviews it was the hardest decision he ever had to make and wishes never to go through this again.. "Never drop your guard or let them know, the thoughts inside your head Just do what you've always done, they'll all wish you were dead" this makes me think about all the people who got involved in the whole pete/carl affair, stirring things up instead of leaving them handling their problems on their own (paparrazis, fans, "brown people", family...) carl wishes he'd never listened to anyone I don't know really.. anyway, very moving DPT song, totally underrated (like all the other carl stuff) |

Why hasn't anyone posted a comment on this song? It's great! I love how it starts...slow and gentle, and the music gets faster as the chorus arrives.. love Didz and Carl's voice on this one. |

One of DPT's greatest song.. so fucking amazing it brings tears to my eyes each time I listen to it I think it's about someone who looks back on evrything he's accomplished so far and realizes it's worth nothing. He becomes aware of the fact that life isn't what it used to be but he cannot do anything against this "humdrum day to day routine". On the other hand, there's still hope, as he keeps repeating "the sun will shine again tomorrow" and "so hold on for tomorrow". The narrator keeps saying that to his friend/whoever he's talking to, even if he doesn't really believe any kind of future is possible. A genuine masterpiece. (L) |
