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.

Verse 1 C#mG#7 The world seems out of touch now, A I don't get out so much, E I don't feel the same G#7 In these bones anymore C#mG#7 My heels are all worn down A My loyalties are torn E I'm finding different paths now G#7 I never saw before
Bridge AF#m And it hurts less every day B The paths lead me away G# Lead me away from those
Chorus C#mAE Blood Thirsty Bastards G#7C#mA Making plans for no one EG#m But themselves C#mAE In this world of disaster G#7C#mA I just need someone EG#7 For myself
Verse Two All the sycophants and vampires Well I packed them off to hell Oh I've been up for days now I hope no one can tell I do my bit oh yes To cleanse my hands from lies Im feeding up the zombies Hatched from their own eyes
Bridge And from these eyes The weary eyes-cum shadows Of a very different man
Chorus Blood thirsty bastards making plans for no one but their own I got to be my own master get away from these braggards, tricksters, foolish clones
AEAE Oh look at how they laugh at you now F#mEF#mE What did you do to make this bad become true AE For heavens sake AE such a silly mistake DG#7 You're a legend in your mind DG#7 But a rumour in your room
Verse They all followed me down here To an alleys dirty end Oh I had nothing to give them I just thought they were my friends
Bridge Doesnt matter now I'm angry anyhow So its the best way I can deal with
Chorus Blood thirsty bastards making plans for no one But their kind Only now do I see it I know I don't need it, no I pay them no mind Blood thirsty bastards making plans for no one But themselves In this world of disaster I just need someone To myself
