Letra da Música One To My Left de Dirty Pretty Things

Did you ever have to do the thing you swore you’d never do
Something filthy and impatient
Something churlish, bold and shrewd
Sit down my boy and I’ll tell you exactly how I crawled right through
Gathering your confidence and hear the story of a man who came undone
First you weigh up your commitments, where your loyalties really lie
And if you bump into Jesus, you just look him in the eye
Tell him that you’re fine, silently return to sharpening your knife
And finally when the time comes, think of who you really need
And close your eyes so tightly think they’ll bleed

Never drop your guard or let them know, the thoughts inside your head
Just do what you’ve always done, they’ll all wish you were dead
Or crush your heart, your spirit and your soul but keep your eyes ahead
Remember when the time comes, there’ll be nowhere you can hide
It’ll just be you, your heart and your bruised pride


Never break the line, never click your heels in time
If your heart’s anything like mine that’s not the way
Don’t get comfortable down there
Don’t pretend that it’s always fair
And your fingers crossed
And it’s not your loss
So if you really want to you can stay
You can stay

Never drop your guard and let them, know the thoughts inside your head
Just do what you’ve always done, they’ll all wish you were dead
They’ll crush your heart, the spirit and your soul but keep your eyes ahead
Then someday when your bones break, and you don’t know gifts from theft
Drink yourself away one to my left

Never break the line, never click your heels in time
If your heart’s anything like mine that’s not the way
Don’t get comfortable down there
Don’t pretend that it’s always fair
And your fingers crossed
And it’s not your loss
So if you really want to you can stay
You can stay
