we shared our dreams
and nearly everything in between
i’ll never forget those
long lost days in a haze
where we lost ourselves with no apology
all this waiting is just hesitating for nothing
and the faultlines all on the wrong side of daylight
why oh why can’t we change things
this is destroying me inside

Much has been made of Babyshambles since the break-up of the Libertines, but Libertine fans should be looking at Dirty Pretty Things. Deadwood was the best fricken anthem song of 2006.

Amazing lyrics, screaming guitar, and catchy tunes are what make the band Dirty Pretty Things the band of 2006.

Some writing work lies ahead today, but I spent the languid hours of the morning making a mix to a new colleague of mine. This guy is pretty cool. Apart from his significant academic work, he's a vinyl head in his mid-fifties whose main music collector passion is original pressings of Blue Note jazz, but who is interested and knowledgeable about music in general. One night last week, as we were meeting up to talk about various things over a bottle of red Burgundy, we resol... MORE
That Pete Doherty wasn't the talent behind the Libertines....(WARNING video slightly sexually explicit, sensitive souls may want to stop playing at 01:15)
Carl Barat's band Dirty Pretty Things has surely produced one of the best albums of the year. The catchy pop/punk melodies and witty lyrics represent some of England's finest and in my opinion better even the Libertines (Barat's former band).
I just got this one and I love it. Gin and Milk is my favorite track. The lyrics are just amazing. I am not sure yet but, I may like it more than I like the Libertines..I'll let you know.
