Truth Begins - Dirty Pretty Things

This is where the truth begins

Where teardrops glance the sallow skin

You lose your will

And I can lend you mine

The westway wall’s

So tall and bleak

Reflect the words we dare not speak

By the bottle’s end

We may have done our time

What you want is to stay away from People like me Who twist most everything they see

And leave the grey old world behind you

So sow it up kid have some clout

We’ll do some wine and fall about

The sun will shine again tomorrow

Look beyond the parapet

We are just bums lest you forget

We can beg steal and borrow

Well you said the pills would sort me out

Embolden me against the

Manifestations of fear and doubt

I just forgot who I used to be So now I’m strung somewhere between a dream

And humdrum day to day routine

A laurel wreath from the door to my heart

What you wants to wash your face and try to breathe

Forget your mind and shut your eyes so that you can see

And leave the gray old world behind you

So sow it up kid have no doubt

We’ll go to mine and have it out

The sun will shine again tomorrow

For all the friends you’ve ever met

Some you’ll love and some forget

Just hold on for tomorrow

So here’s to now

And all of us of course

The hearts we tried

Make a brand new start

Let the fabric never tear us apart

And some day when

We’re in the cold

Here’s a semblance

We can hope so The proposal

And put it on your heart

For me So now I move

And if you’re in It wouldn’t hurt just to give it a try and win

Don’t forget who you’re meant to be What you wants to get a bike and do wheelies

I bet you can’t do em half as good as me Throw it out

When it’s over it’s over

So sow it up kid have some clout

We’ll have some wine and sulk about

How the sun will shine tomorrow

For all the friends you’ve not yet met

Some would die for you I’ll bet

So hold on for tomorrow

So sow it up kid have some clout

We’ll go to mine and fuck about

The sun will shine again

For all friends you’ve not yet met

Some would die for you you I bet

So hold on for tomorrow

This is where the truth begins

For more than seven deadly sins

You lose your will

I may have hurt you’re mind
