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.

E The fights they never end G#m? Like the nights AB They’ve taking me over E And yeah, i get the fear G#m? AB But i cannot be bothered DAE all this waiting is just hesitating for nothing G#mA and the faultlines and all the conjecture from both sides AG#m why oh why can’t we change things A this is destroying me inside AG#mF#mE(actually, this E is the beggining of the solo) (You know you wanna run away)
E We shared our dreams and nearly everything G#m? AB in between i’ll never forget, though E long lost stays in a haze G#m? AB where we lost ourselves with no apology DAE all this waiting is just hesitating for nothing G#mA and the faultlines all on the wrong side of daylight AG#m why oh why can’t we change things A this is destroying us inside AG#mF#mC#m (You know you wanna jump in… C#m To the pit back to life so sordid A We fell down dead but nobody saw it C#m I’ve got twenty faces and i’m talking in tongues G#mA I feel like the devil, what does the devil do? AG#mF#mE (You know you wanna run away)
G#mA And these faultlines and all the conjecture from both sides AG#m It slights on the deck and it's all fine A we could hold on for a lifetime AG#mF#mE (You know you wanna run away...)
