Cover art for One To My Left lyrics by Dirty Pretty Things

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.
