Dirty Pretty Things foi uma banda de rock inglesa liderada por Carl Barât, ex-integrante da banda The Libertines. Didz Hammond anunciou que estava deixando a sua banda Cooper Temple Clause para se juntar à banda, da mesma forma que o ex-baterista dos Libertines Gary Powell e o Guitarrista Anthony Rossmando, que havia substituido Doherty antes que esse saísse definitivamente dos Libertines.
Inicialmente, o nome da banda causou alguns problemas.

CAm I know that you're out there DmG Born ready but on the decline CAm To keep you from my thoughts DmG When we first broke the line CAm Do you remember like I remember Dm Lost pursuits of excellence G The glory of the crowd C Lives of imperialists Am Leave me with aching wrists Dm So no wonder you frown G When you're two world wars down F So when the dark times come C Well I will sing you a good time song F I'm pretending that it's ending C But it kills me to act so strong F Just to gaze in your eyes G#G Makes all the difference to me
CAmDmG
Just be ready my angel Be ready when I call I've been re reading letters They were moving warm but bitter And I cried right through them all Oooh ooooh The days go so slow Ooooh oooh We'll never get to heaven with the artillery in tow
FC
So when the dark times come It might warm your heart to know That I went to the crossroads But the devil never showed
FG#G They can stick their war I'm leaving now Makes all the difference to me
EmAm I'm hoping if you know where I am EmAm Send your heart in a telegram EmAm I'm praying that you know where I am
CAmDm Be upstairs ready my angel Be ready when I call And then my angel I'll be ready too And I will catch you when you fall Do you remember like I remember All the dirty things you said Do you remember like I remember Or was it all in my head
FC So when the dark times come Well I will song you a good time song I'm pretending that it's ending But it kills me to act so strong
FG#G To gaze in your eyes Makes all the difference to me
So
CAmDmG
Who's got the clap Who's got the clap Give yourself a clap now
