"don't give me that face
i know when i should live in disgrace
not dig up the deadwood
i knew this place was never the place for me
and of the years that rolled by
yeah some were so good
but now i know that
you were the coward
the holes in your soul
in tatters for all these years
but you can't see it that way
a way, a way
we'll have it today
the dancing ones they really mean it
and mark my words
something's gonna change"
sometimes i forget how much i love this.
tired of england ~ dirty pretty things
"how can they be tired of london?
the scents in the air on a warm day,
generation of hope that sees better days,
but moving along in the same old ways."
first single and video release, from the upcoming album romance at short notice. good on you, boys.
"i am a hippy's son,
i'm in to porn and guns,
i'm virile, fertile,
i scream when i come.
related to you all,
by six degrees.
i am a fire sign,
i've never swum with the tide,
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 these arms.
hush hush my love."
from the second dirty pretty things album, romance at short notice, to be released on june 30. i've heard a few songs recorded live from recent shows, and saw the lyrics to many of them. to be honest, i was not terribly impressed with this song until i heard the recently released single (given away free here). before i knew it i'd listened to it 10 times in a row, and i've had to admit i quite like it.
i know this album has been a struggle from the start, but i wish them all the best, and that this will be a huge success.
come closer ~ dirty pretty things
& the video
"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."
