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]
Em
Oh well you look so reckless

Cool but your tone is careless

Shapes that the moonlight's making

Who's got your hands shaking?
G B
Eye through an ashtray and you my darling

I just think it's funny how we are

Em
These houses along my street
G
They're so ugly staring down at me
Am
They hold meetings in the night time, they

speak quietly they try to make me leave
They're laughing, I'm not listening

I'm just thinking how good it will be when we are
