Biography:
Pete and the Pirates were an indie rock band from Reading, England. Bright, young commanders of a brand of unique Englishness, their blend of smooth edged punk and pop produces music which is sweet, raw, joyous, melancholic, raucous and tender. The Pirates' idiosyncratic and endearing song writing puts them somewhere between the Flying Nun band Tall Dwarfs and the wistful reflection of On The Beach-era Neil Young.
The band was formed in 2005 and consists of Tommy Sanders (vocals)

[Verse 1]
C
Come and meet me tomorrow
Em G
Come with all your silver and our gold
C
Egyptian night lady
Em G
You don't seem like you do what you've been told
C
And why won't you speak now
Em G
Tying string between tin cans and pulling them tight
C
Well I'm only asking
Em G
Did the cat get your tongue when you slept last night?
C
From here to my window
Em G
There are cracks in the walls that I can't mend
C
I'll meet you on Half Moon Street
Em G
With someone else's money that we can spend
[Chorus]
F C
My thoughts are tearing each other apart
Am
In the back of the car
E F
Conversations probably gone too far
You keep me guessing
C
Tongue tied and messy
Am
Don't make me feel stupid
E
I'll do that on my own
F C
Put the key in and just start believing
Am E
That your going to hell if you have fun this evening
F C
Come to me telling me all kinds of secrets
Am E F
Promises promised I think I can keep it
[Verse 2]
C
I've seen photos of you
Em G
I know we've got nothing in common now
C
Just our shared love of drinking
Em G
But you won't take a life and that's not me
C
I'll meet you on Half Moon Street
Em G
I'll be watching your mouth move when you talk
C
And all of those noises
Em G
Well they really mean nothing to me at all
[Chorus]

My thoughts are tearing each other apart

In the back of the car
