Arctic Monkeys - Wavin′ Bye To The Train Or Bus

Oh baby, I′m wanting to do you a swap
I′ll give you anything, yeah
In return for the noises you′ve got
And I can see you want to be attended to
Just count to twenty-nine and I′ll attend to you
Oh for sure... well certainly, yeah yeah yeah
Wavin′ bye to the train or the bus
I′m ever so worried because...
I don′t want to get all forgotten...

So very comfortable..
Don′t really need to put up my feet,
And even in fat sam′s grand slam,
Can′t see it being easier to speak.
when you′ve karate-kicked your way to someone new
And I′m a memory and don′t know what to do
All on his own...
Collecting his dole n′ stuff

Wavin′ bye to the train or the bus
I′m ever so worried because...
I don′t want to get all forgotten...
Cause we know
Yeah, we know-oh-oh-oh
Oh we know, a woah-oh-oh

Don′t know where we′re going, baby
I s′pose it depends
But even if we′re all far apart
We can all come back and all be fine
We′ll be able to be together again

Be together again
Be together again
Be together again
...

Arctic Monkeys - From Ritz To The Rubble

Last night these two bouncers
And one of em′s alright
The other one′s the scary one
His way or no way, totalatarian
He′s got no time for you
Looking or breathing
How he don′t want you to

So step out the queue
He makes examples of you
And there′s nowt you can say
Behind they go through to the bit where you pay
And you realise then that it′s finally the time
To walk back past ten thousand eyes in the line

And you can swap jumpers and make another move
Instilled in your brain you′ve got something to prove
To all the smirking faces and the boys in black
Why can′t they be pleasant?
Why can′t they have a laugh?

He′s got his hand in your chest
He wants to give you a duff
Well secrectly I think they want it all to kick off
They want, arms flying everywhere and
Bottles aswell it′s just
Something to talk about
A story to tell you

Well I′m so glad they turned us all away we′ll put it down to fate

I said a thousand million things that I could never say this morning

Got too deep, but how deep is too deep?

This town′s a different town today
This town′s a different town to what it was last night
You couldn′t have done that on a Sunday

That girl′s a different girl today
Said that girl′s a different girl to her you kissed last night
You couldn′t have done that on a Sunday

of course not!

Well I′m so glad they turned us all away we′ll put it down to fate

I′ve thought a thousand million things that I could never think this morning

Got too deep, but how deep is too deep?

Last night what we talked about
It made so much sense
But now the haze has ascended
It don′t make no sense anymore

Arctic Monkeys - Leaving Before The Lights Come On

Well this is a good idea,
He wouldn′t do it if it wasn′t,
He wouldn′t do it if it wasn′t one.
Well my friend fancies you,
Oh what a way to begin it all,
You said it′s always exciting words to hear

And we woke up together not quite realising how,
Oh when your stretching and yawning,
Its always hard in the morning,

And I suppose that′s the price you pay,
Oh it isn′t what it was,
She′s thinking he looks different today,
And oh there′s nothing left to guess now,

You left before the lights came on,
Because you didn′t want to ruin,
All the lust that was brewing,
Before he absolutely had to,
And how can you wake up,
With someone you don′t love?
And not feel slightly fazed by it,
Oh, he had a struggle,

And you woke up together not quite realising how,
Oh but he′s stretching and yawning,
It′s always hard in the morning,

And I suppose that′s the price you pay,
Oh it isn′t what it was,
She′s thinking he looks different today,
And oh there′s nothing left to guess now,

Quick, let′s leave, before the lights come on,
′Cos then you don′t have to see,
′Cos then you don′t have to see,
What you′ve done,

Quick, let′s leave, before the lights come on,
′Cos then you don′t have to see,
′Cos then you don′t have to see,
What you′ve done,

Until tomorrow comes,

I′ll walk you up, what time′s the bus come?
I′ll walk you up, what time′s the bus come?
I′ll walk you up, what time′s the bus come?
I′ll walk you up, what time′s the bus come?

Arctic Monkeys - Stickin′ To The Floor

Won′t somebody let me out!
Don′t wanna stick around no more
I said they′re looking at yer strange
I said yer stickin′ to the floor

Not one of you′s got an ounce of style in yer
So now one of you′s gonna have to stop!

Fucking hell I′ll break your nose
If they keep on pushing you around
Keep on steeping on your toes
I′ll pick you up when you fall down

Not one of you′s got an ounce of style in yer
Said not one of you, no

Not one of you′s got an ounce of style in yer
So now one of you′s gonna have to stop!

Ah ah, ah ah, oh!
Ah ah, ah ah, oh
Yea, yea, yea!

Arctic Monkeys - You Probably Couldn′t See For The Lights But You Were Staring Ri

One look sends it coursing through the veins, oh how the feeling races
Back up to their brains to form expressions on their stupid faces
They don′t want to say hello, but I can′t want to say hello
My heartbeat′s at its peak, when you′re coming up to speak

Well I′m so tense and never tenser
Well I′ll go a bit Frank Spencer
And I′m talking gibberish
Tip of the tongue but I can′t deliver it...
Properly
Oh, it′s all getting on top of me
And if it weren′t this dark
You′d see how red my face has gone, yeah

Everybody′s trying to crack the jokes and that to make you smile
Those that claim that they′re not showing off are drowning in denial
But they′re not half as bad as me, say anything and I′ll agree
Cause when it comes to acting up, I′m sure I could write a book

And now that you′re more than a part in the play
It′s slightly easier to think what to say
You had us all standing on our heads
Doing our best tricks, yeah

Never again
Never again
Will there be another one quite as desirable as you?
One look sends it coursing through the veins, oh how the feeling races

Arctic Monkeys - Knock The Door And Run

Watch me... watch me go
Well I′m struttin′ up ever so slow
And now sting me... get in the groove
Cause they′re bangin′ on the door
Yes they′re hard and they′ll make a move

We′re wakin′ up those sleepers
You know we′re so mischievous
Just what you′ll do to keep us entertained
We′re wakin′ up those sleepers
You know we′re so mischievous

She′s got you up and she′s run, run, runnin′ away

You′re knockin′ first if you think that you′re comin′ to play

And I don′t mind
Cause all the time you′re talkin′ at me
No I don′t mind at all

Oh well cap-guns and polystyrene planes
Well I′m buyin′ penny bubblies with my change
Cause sting me... get in the groove
Cause they′re bangin′ on the door
Yes they′re hard and they′ll make a move

We′re wakin′ up those sleepers
You know we′re so mischievous
Just what you′ll do to keep us entertained
Oh well now she says she′s goin′
That she′s got the towel to throw in
Was just about to blow him and run away!

(Knock, run)
She′s got you up and she′s run, run, runnin′ away

You′re knockin′ first if you think that you′re comin′ to play

And I don′t mind
Cause all the time you′re talkin′ at me
Well I don′t mind at all... no

Arctic Monkeys - The Jeweller′s Hands

Fiendish wonder in the carnival′s wake
Though it caresses once again irritate
Tread softly stranger
Move over toward the danger THAT you seek

You think excitement has receded
And the mirror distracts
The logic of the trance
Quickly reaches and grasps
Handsome and faceless
And weightless, your imagination roams

And now it′s no ones fault but yours
At the foot of the house of cards
You thought you′d never get obsessed
You thought the wolves would be impressed
And you′re a sinking stone
But you know what it′s like to hold the jeweller′s hand
That procession of pioneers all drowned

In the moonlight they′re more thrilling
Those things that he knows
As he leads you through the grinning
Bubble blowers in the snow
Watching his exit
Is like falling off the ferry in the night

The inevitables gather to push you around
Any old voice makes a punishing sound
He became laughter′s assassin
Shortly after he showed you what it was

And now it′s no ones fault but yours
At the foot of the house of cards
You thought you′d never get obsessed
You thought the wolves would be impressed
And you′re a sinking stone
But you know what it′s like to hold the jeweller′s hand
That procession of pioneers all drowned

If you′ve a lesson to teach me,
I′m listening, ready to learn
There′s no one here to police me,
I′m sinking in, until you return
If you′ve a lesson to teach me,
Don′t deviate, don′t be afraid
Without the last corner piece I can′t calibrate,
Let′s get it ingrained

If you′ve a lesson to teach me,
I′m listening, ready to learn

Arctic Monkeys - Baby I′m Yours

ALEX:
Baby, I′m yours (Baby, I′m yours)
And I′ll be yours until the stars fall from the sky,
Yours, until the rivers all run dry
In other words, until I die

OISIN:
Baby, I′m yours (Baby, I′m yours)
And I′ll be yours until the sun no longer shines,
Yours, until the poets run out of rhyme
In other words, until the end of time

ALEX:
I′m gonna stay right here by your side,
Do my best to keep you satisfied
Nothin′ in the world could drive me away
′Cause every day, you′ll hear me say

Baby, I′m yours (Baby, I′m yours)
And I′ll be yours until two and two is three,
Yours, until the mountains crumble to the sea
In other words, until eternity

Baby, I′m yours
(Til the stars fall from the sky)
Baby, I′m yours
(Til the rivers all run dry)
Baby, I′m yours
(Til the sun no longer shines)
Baby, I′m yours
(Til the poets run out of rhymes)

Arctic Monkeys - A View From The Afternoon

Anticipation, i did not mean to set you up
for disappointment in evening entertainment but
tonight there′ll be some love
tonight there′ll be a ruckus yeah, regardless of what′s gone before

i wanna see all of the things that we′ve already seen
lairy girls hung out the window of a limousine
because it′s fancy dress
and their all lookin proper good in bunny ears and devil horns and hats

anticipation, i did not mean to set you up
for disappointment and even entertainment but
tonight there′ll be some love
tonight there′ll be a ruckus yeah, regardless of what′s gone before

i wanna see all of the things that we′ve already seen
i wanna see you take the jackpot out the fruit machine
put it all back in
you′ve got to understand that you could never beat the bandit no

and she won′t be surprised, and she won′t be shocked
when she pulls the star off she impressed the lot
and it′s verse and chapters standing her in bogs
and all that you said you know she drank the lot

but you should bear that in mind tonight, bear that in mind
and you should bear that in mind tonight, bear that in mind

see you could pour your heart out but a reason it would block
oh you shagged her after nine o clock?

Arctic Monkeys - Curtains Close

I so wanted it long but she cut it short
And now I′m catching a cold
I told you not but no crack in the doobie
But it was already rolled

Oh, I turned down my lights
And my curtains weren′t closed
I turned down my lights
And my curtains weren′t closed
Oh well, I turned down my lights
And my curtains weren′t closed last night
Oh baby, I must be mad

Well, I don′t care about your massage oils
It′s got my skin going red
Cause I′m a mad mother-fucker
With my curtains open
Sitting tucked up in bed

I turned down my lights
And my curtains weren′t closed
I turned down my lights
And my curtains weren′t closed
Oh well, I turned down my lights
And my curtains weren′t closed last night
Oh baby, I must be mad

I turned down my lights

And my curtains weren′t closed
Oh yeah, well I turned down my lights
And my curtains weren′t closed last night
Oh baby, I must be mad

Arctic Monkeys - Settle For A Draw

Well, I watch you tangle every weekend
It might start different but it ends up the same
One minute you′re casually speaking
The next it all goes up and you pull fletch up on the plane with your
Jeri can of words and songs

Noone′s gonna start a revolution
So why do we even moan?
And there′s something that Frankie used to say, apparently
Oh, he said settle for a draw
Cause you′re not gonna get no more
So you should settle for a draw
I′ve told you once I′m sure
I′ve told you once I′m sure you should settle for the draw
Why don′t you settle for the draw?

Well you′re right it is one set of rules for her
But then another set for you
But that′s just the way it is, I suppose
And there′s nowt you can do
And let′s not fall in the trap of answering back
I am just a beginner
But I know she′ll be the winner
That′s for sure
So take the draw if it′s available

And if it sets on fire
Don′t get out your jeri can of
Words and songs

Noone′s gonna start a revolution
So you better leave it well alone
And there′s something that Frankie used to say, apparently
Oh, he said settle for a draw
Cause you′re not gonna get no more
So you should settle for a draw
I′ve told you once I′m sure
I′ve told you once I′m sure you should settle for the draw

Arctic Monkeys - Who The Fuck Are Arctic Monkeys?

We all want someone to shout for
Yeah, everyone wants somebody to adore
But your heroes aren′t what they seem
When you′ve been where we′ve been

Have I done something to trigger
The funny looks and the sniggers?
Are they there at all, or is it just paranoia?
Everybody′s got their box
Doing what they′re told
You pushed my faith near being lost
But we′ll stick to the guns
Don′t care if it′s marketing suicidal
Won′t crack or compromise
Your do-rights or individes
Will never unhinge us

And there′s a couple of hundred
Think they′re Christopher Columbus
But the settlers had already settled
Yeah, long before ya

Just cos we′re having a say-so
Not lining up to be playdoh
Oh, in five years time, will it be
"Who the fuck′s Arctic Monkeys?"

′Cause everybody′s got their box
Doing what they′re told
You pushed my faith near being lost
But we′ll stick to the guns
Don′t care if it′s marketing suicidal
Won′t crack or compromise
Your do-rights or individes
Will never unhinge us

La la la la la, la la
La la la la la, la la
La la la la la, la la

All the thoughts that I just said
Will linger round and multiply in their head
Not that mad to start with
I′m not angry, I′m just disappointed

It′s not you it′s them that are wrong
Tell ′em to take out their tongues
Tell ′em to take out their tongues...

It′s not you it′s them that are wrong
Tell ′em to take out their tongues
Tell ′em to take out their tongues
And bring on the backlash!

It′s not you it′s them that are wrong
Tell him to take out his tongue
Tell him to take out his tongue
It′s not you it′s them that′s the fake
I won′t mess with your escape
Is this really your escape?

Arctic Monkeys - Red Light Indicates Doors Are Secured

Ask if we can have six in
If not we′ll have to have two
You′re coming up our end aren′t you
I′ll get one with you
He wouldn′t let us have six in
Especially not with the food
He could have just told us no though
He didn′t have to be rude

See her with the green dress
I talked to her at the bar
How come it′s already two pound fifty?
We′ve only gone about a yard
Couldn′t you see she were gorgeous
She were beyond belief
There was this lad at her side drinking his Smirnoff Ice
Can I buy you a tropical reef?

Sitting going backwards
And I didn′t want to leave
I said it′s High Green mate
Via Hillsborough please

Well how funny were that sketch earlier
Up at that taxi rank
Oh no you woulda missed it,
It were when you went to the bank
These lads went round proper shouting
About who was next in the queue
The kind of thing that would seem so funny
But not when they′ve both had a few

Well calm down, temper, temper
You shouldn′t get so annoyed
You′re acting like a silly little boy
And they wanted to be men
And do some fighting in the street
(They said) no surrender

Arctic Monkeys - Put Your Dukes Up John

Put your Dukes up John,
Yeah, put your dukes up John,
You were preened and sanitised,
Struck dumb by good advice.

Your integrity was bruised,
Your celebrity a ruse,
They pulled the rug from under,
Made way for new pretenders.

Put your Dukes up, John

Put your Dukes up, John
(Or you′re not going anywhere)
Put your Dukes up, John
(Change your tune and change your hair)
Put your Dukes up, John
(Or you′re not going anywhere)
Be a C.Y.N.I.C.
Be a C.Y.N.I.C.

The profit margin blinds them,
They groomed and ostracised him,
His calm makes my blood boil,
His calm makes my blood boil,

Put your Dukes up, John
(Change your tune and change your hair)
Put your Dukes up, John
(Or you′re not going anywhere)
Put your Dukes up, John
(Change your tune and change your hair)
Put your Dukes up, John

Or your not going anywhere
Change your tune and change your hair

Change your tune and change your hair

Change your tune and change your hair
Or your not going anywhere

Arctic Monkeys - Potion Approaching

I was biting the time zone,
And we embellish the banks of our bloodstreams,
And threw caution to the colourful
Then we fell asleep in the car,
Until the bumps woke me up in your grip
And the tide took me to your mouth,
And then swept me back down to your palms

It′s them that put me inside the reminder
That yours is the only ocean,
(Yours Is the only ocean)
That I wanna swing from,
Yours is the only ocean,
That I wanna hang on

I′ve got this ego mechanic,
She′s always trying to give me vitamins
Oh she′d be frightened of your reflection,
I preferred her as a cartoon
If I could be someone else for a week,
I′d spend it chasing after you,
Cos she′s not shattering my attitude,
No matter how she folds the potion

Yours is the only ocean,
That I wanna swing from,
Yours is the only ocean,
That I wanna hang on to
I′m swinging on
Yours is the only ocean,
Yours is the only ocean,
Yours is the only ocean,
Yours is the only ocean

Potion approaching, shield your eyes,
Potion approaching, visualize,
Holding a token, swollen in size,
Potion approaching, shield your eyes

Oh but if we′re gonna escape though,
We really ought to think it through,
Would you like me to build you a go kart?

Arctic Monkeys - I Bet You Look Good On The Dancefloor

Stop making the eyes at me, I′ll stop making the eyes at you
And what it is that surprises me is that I don′t really want you to
And your shoulders are frozen (cold as the night)
Oh, but you′re an explosion (you′re dynamite)
Your name isn′t Rio, but I don′t care for sand
And lighting the fuse might result in a bang, b-b-bang, go!

I bet that you look good on the dancefloor
I don′t know if you′re looking for romance or
I don′t know what you′re looking for
Well, I bet that you look good on the dancefloor
Dancing to electro-pop like a robot from 1984
From 1984!

I wish you′d stop ignoring me, because it′s sending me to despair
Without a sound, yeah, you′re calling me, and I don′t think it′s very fair
That your shoulders are frozen (cold as the night)
Oh, but you′re an explosion (you′re dynamite)
Your name isn′t Rio, but I don′t care for sand
Lighting the fuse might result in a bang, b-b-bang, go!

I bet that you look good on the dancefloor
I don′t know if you′re looking for romance or
I don′t know what you′re looking for
Well, I bet that you look good on the dancefloor
Dancing to electro-pop like a robot from 1984
From 1984!

Oh, there ain′t no love, no Montagues or Capulets
Are just banging tunes and DJ sets and...
Dirty dancefloors, and dreams of naughtiness!

Well, I bet that you look good on the dancefloor

I don′t know what you′re looking for

Well I′ve seen your eyes as they flicked on me
What is he doing? What on earth′s the plan? Has he got one?
You′d better give me some pointers
Since you are the big rocket launcher and I′m just the shotgun

Well I ain′t got no dollar signs in my eyes
That might be a surprise but it′s true
That I′m not like you and I don′t want your advice
Or your praise or to move in the ways you do

Cause all you people are vampires
And all your stories are stale
And though you pretend to you′ll stand by us
I know you′re sure that we′ll fail

Well I′ve seen your eyes as they flicked on me
What a confusion
Your snarl is just so condescending
Try to explain that we′re onto a win
If you feel we get in
Near recoups what we′re spending

He says, I can′t believe that you drove all that way
Well how much did they pay ya? How much did they pay ya?
You′d′ve been better to stay round our way
Thinking ′bout things but not actually doing a thing

Arctic Monkeys - D Is For Dangerous

He knew what he wanted to say
But he did not want to word it
The dirty little Herbert
Was thinking an escape
But the place was well guarded

The guiltyness that started
Soon as the other part had stopped

D is for Delightful
And try and keep your trousers on
I think you should know you′re his favourite worst nightmare
D is for...

Desperately trying to stimulate what it was that was alright
3 quarters of an hour ago
That had led him to be in a position
And every compromission
Another freak episode

He′s nearing the brink but he thinks first
The parallel universe perhaps could be the perfect scene
He′s nearing the brink but he thinks first
The parallel universe perhaps could be the perfect scene
He′s nearing the brink but he thinks first
The parallel universe perhaps could be the perfect scene
He′s nearing the brink but he thinks first
The parallel
I think you should know you′re his favourite worst nightmare

D is for delightful
and try and keep your trousers on
you should know you′re his favourite worst nightmare

Arctic Monkeys - Teddy Picker

Despair to the point till they provoke
The punchline before they have told the joke
The sheer desperation to be scene/seen
Staring at the television screen

Despair to the point where they provoke
You to tell the fucking punchline before you have told the joke
Sorry sunshine it doesn′t exist
It wasn′t in the top 100 list

And it′s the thousandth time and it′s even bolder,
Don′t be surprised when you get bent over,
He told ya, that you were gagging for it

She saw it and she grabbed it and it wasn′t what it seemed
The kids all dream of making it, whatever that means
Another variation on a theme
A tangle on the television and the magazine
D′you reckon that they do it for a joke?
D′you reckon that they make ′em take an oath?
That says "we are defenders
Of any poseur or professional pretender around"

When did your list replace the twist and turn?
Ah the fist, replaced the kissed-on concern
And if you′re bothered, I don′t want your prayers
Save it for the morning after

And it′s the thousandth time and it′s even bolder,
Don′t be surprised when you get bent over,
He told ya, that you were gagging for it

Lets have a game on the Teddy Picker
Not quick enough can I have it quicker?
Already thick and you′re getting thicker
Lets have a game on the Teddy Picker
Not quick enough can I have it quicker?
Already thick and you′re getting thicker

Asuming that all things are equal,
Who′d want to be men of the people
When there′s people like you?

Arctic Monkeys - No Buses

Lady, where has your love gone?
I was looking but can′t find it anywhere
They always offer when there′s loads of love around
But, when you′re short of some, it′s nowhere to be found

Well, I know your game, you told him yesterday
No chance, you′ll get nothin′ from me
But now she′s there, you′re there, everybody′s there
He′s in turmoil, as puzzled as can be
Just like me

Let′s go down, down, low down
Where I know I should not go
Oh and she thinks she′s the one
But she′s just one in 24
And just ′cause everybody′s doin′ it
Does that mean that I can, too?

Lady, where has your love gone?
It was the anti-septic to the sore
To hold you by the hand
Must be first, be in demand
How he longs for you to long for him once more
Just once more

Let′s go down, down, low down
Where I know I should not go
Oh and she thinks she′s the one
But she′s just one in 24
And just ′cause everybody′s doin′ it
Does that mean that I can, too? Oh...

Her eyes went down and cut you up
And there′s nothing like a dirty look from
The one you want, or the one you′ve lost

An ache in your soul is everybody′s goal
To get what they can′t have
That′s why you′re after her
And that′s why she′s after him
But sayin′ it wont change a thing
And they′ll realise that it wont change a thing
Realise that it wont change a thing

Arctic Monkeys - Scummy

So who′s that girl there?
I wonder what went wrong
So that she had to roam the streets
She don′t do major credit cards
I doubt she does receipts
It′s all not quite legitimate
And what a scummy man
Just give him half a chance
I bet he′ll rob you if he can
Can see it in his eyes, yeah
That he′s got a driving ban
Amongst some other offences

And I′ve seen him with girls of the night
And he told Roxanne to put on her red light
They′re all infected but he′ll be alright
Cause he′s a scumbag, don′t you know
I said he′s a scumbag, don′t you know!

Although you′re trying not to listen
I bet your eyes are staring at the ground
She makes a subtle proposition
I’m sorry love I′ll have to turn you down

And oh he must be up to summat
Want half a chance to show he′s more than likely
I′ve got a feeling in my stomach
I start to wonder what his story might be
What his story might be, yeah

They said it changes when the sun goes down
Yeah they said it changes when the sun goes down
Yeah they said it changes when the sun goes down
Around here
Around

And look here comes a Ford Mondeo
Isn′t he Mister Inconspicuous
And he don′t have to say owt
She understands she′s here to get picked up

And she′s delighted when she sees him
Pulling in and giving her the eye
Because she must be fuckin’ freezing
Scantily clad beneath the clear night sky
She don′t stop in the winter, no

Well they said it changes when the sun goes down
Yeah they said it changes when the sun goes down
Well they said it changes when the sun goes down
Around here

Well they said it changes when the sun goes down
Yeah they said it changes when the sun goes down
Well they said it changes when the sun goes down

What a scummy man
Just give him half a chance
I bet he′ll rob you if he can
Can see it in his eyes that he′s got a nasty plan
I hope you′re not involved at all

Arctic Monkeys - Still Take You Home

It′s ever so funny, I don′t think you′re special I don′t think you′re cool
You′re just probably alreyt, but under these lights you look beautiful
But I′m struggling, I can′t see through your fake tan
And you know it for a fact that everybody′s eating out of your hands

What do you know?
you know nothing
But I′ll still take you home

Fancy seeing you in here, you′re all tarted up and you don′t look the same
I haven′t seen you since last year and surprisingly you have forgot my name
But you know it and you knew it all along
Oh, you say you have forgotten, but you′re fibbing go on tell me I′m wrong
I fancy you with a passion, you′re a Topshop princess, a rockstar too
You′re a fad you′re a fashion and I′m having a job trying to talk to you
But it′s alright, put it all on one-side,
everybody′s looking, you′ve got control of everyone′s eyes
Including mine

Arctic Monkeys - The View From The Afternoon

Anticipation has a habit to set you up
For disappointment in evening entertainment but
Tonight there′ll be some love
Tonight there′ll be a ruckus yeah
Regardless of what′s gone before
I want to see all of the things that we′ve already seen
Lairy girls hung out the window of a limousine
Because it′s fancy dress
And they′re all looking proper good in bunny ears and devil horns and hats

Anticipation has a habit to set you up
For disappointment in evening entertainment but
Tonight there′ll be some love
Tonight there′ll be a ruckus yeah
Regardless of what′s gone before
I want to see all of the things that we′ve already seen
I want to see you take the jackpot out the fruit machine
And put it all back in
You′ve got to understand that you can never beat the bandit no

And she won′t be surprised, no she won′t be shocked
When she pulled the star off she impressed the lot
And it′s verse and chapters standing her in bogs
And all you said you know she drank the lot

Bear that in mind tonight, bear that in mind
You should bear that in mind tonight, bear that in mind
See you can pour your heart out but a reason it would block
Oh you shagged her after nine o′clock?

Arctic Monkeys - The Bad Thing

Do the bad thing,
Take off your wedding ring,
But it wont make it that much easier, it might make it worse,

Oh the nights like a whirlwind,
Somebody′s girlfriend′s talkin′ to me but its alright,
She′s sayin that hes not gonna slap me or try to attack me,
Hes not the jealous type,
And I ony need to get half an excuse and im away,
But when theres no excuses thats much easier to say,
I′ve been before,
And all these capers make her too forward to ignore,
Well She′s talkin but im not entirely sure, ohh

Do the bad thing,
Take off your wedding ring,
But it wont make it that much easier, it might make it worse,

Oh im stood at the bar and somebody′s partner′s talkin to me,
But I dont know that is what she isnt she murmors things to confirm That the
tragedy is true,
And I knew ′how could she could have anyone she wants,
And im strugglin to think of an immediate response,

Like I dont mind,
Be a big mistake,
For you to wait,
And let me waste your time,
Really love its fine,
Really love its fine,

And then the first time it occured that there was something to destroy,

I knew before the invitation that there was this ploy,
Oh but she carried on suggestin, a struggle to refuse,
She said "its the red wine this time, but that is no excuse"

Arctic Monkeys - Fake Tales Of San Francisco

Fake Tales of San Francisco
Echo through the room
More point to a wedding disco
Without a bride or groom
There′s a super cool band yeah
With their trilbys and their glasses of white wine
And all the weekend rockstars in the toilets
Practicing their lines

I don′t want to hear you
(Kick me out, kick me out)
I don′t want to hear, you know
(Kick me out, kick me out)
I don′t want to hear you
(Kick me out, kick me out)
I don′t want to hear you
I don′t want to hear your...

Fake Tales of San Fransisco
Echo through the air
And there′s a few bored faces in the back
All wishing they weren′t there

And as the microphone squeaks
A young girl′s telephone beeps
Yeah she′s dashing for the exit
And she′s running to the streets outside
"Oh you′ve saved me," she screams down the line
"The band aren′t very good
And I′m not having a nice time"

I don′t want to hear you
(Kick me out, kick me out)
I don′t want to hear, you know
(Kick me out, kick me out)

Yeah but his bird thinks it′s amazing, though
So all that′s left
Is the proof that love′s not only blind but deaf

He talks of San Francisco, he′s from Hunter′s Bar
I don′t quite know the distance
But I′m sure that′s far
Yeah I′m sure that′s pretty far

And yeah, I′d love to tell you all my problem
You′re not from New York City, you′re from Rotherham
So get off the bandwagon, and put down the handbook
Yeah, yeah, yeah

Get off the bandwagon and put down the handbook
Get off the bandwagon and put down the handbook
Get off the bandwagon and put down the handbook

Arctic Monkeys - Bigger Boys And Stolen Sweethearts

There′s always somebody taller
With more of a wit
And he′s equipped to enthrall her
And her friends think he′s fit
And you just can′t measure up no
You don′t have a prayer
Wishing you had made the most of her
When she was there
They′ve got engaged
No intention of a wedding
He′s pinched your bird
And he′d probably kick your head in

Bigger Boys and Stolen Sweethearts
You′re better off without her anyway
You said you wasn′t sad to see her go
Oh no

He might be one of those boys
That′s all pretty and vain
Likes to go in the sunbed
And stays out of the rain
So that he don′t get his hair wet
You wouldn′t want that
At least he hasn′t got a Nova
Or a Burberry hat

They′ve got engaged
No intention of a wedding
He′s pinched your bird
And he′d probably kick your head in

Bigger Boys and Stolen Sweethearts
You′re better off without her anyway
You said you wasn′t sad to see her go
Of course you were

Have you heard what she′s been doing?
Never did it for me
He picks her up at the school gates
At twenty past three
She′s been with all the boys
But never went very far
She wagged English and Science
Just to go in his car

They′ve got engaged
No intention of a wedding
He′s pinched my bird
And he′d probably kick my head in, oh
Now the girls have grown
But I′m sure they still carry on in similar ways

Bigger Boys and Stolen Sweethearts
So I′m better off without her anyway
I said I wasn′t sad to see her go
But I′m only pretending, you know
Yeah, I′m only pretending, you know
Yeah, I′m only pretending, you know
Oh I′m only pretending, you know

Arctic Monkeys - My Propeller

If you can summon the strength, tow me
I can′t hold down the urgency
You′ve got to make your decent slowly
And oil up those sticky keys

Coax me out, my love
And have a spin of my propeller

It′s a necessary evil
No cause for emergency
Borrow the beak of a bald eagle
Oh, momentary synergy

Coax me out, my love
Sink into tomorrow
Coax me out, my love
And have a spin of my propeller

My propeller won′t spin and I can′t get it started on my own
When are you arriving?
My propeller won′t spin and I can′t get it started on my own
When are you arriving?
My propeller won′t spin and I can′t get it started on my own

Arctic Monkeys - Secret Door

Fools on parade cavort and carry on
For waiting eyes
That you would rather be beside than in front of
But she′s never been the kind to be hollowed by the stares

She swam out of tonight′s phantasm
Grabbed my hand and made it very clear
There′s absolutely nothing for us here
It′s a magnolia celebration
To be attempted on a Wednesday night
It′s better than to get a reputation
As a miserable little tyke
At least that′s the conclusion
She came to in this overture

The secret door swings behind us
She′s saying nothing
She′s just giggling along

Her arms were folded most indignant
Not looking like she was soon to leave
I had to squint in order to believe
And then like a butler pushing on a bookshelf
I′m unveiling the unexpected
How she was never gonna look to?
Suddenly embarrassed and corrected
How could such a creature
Survive in such a habitat

The secret door swings behind us
She′s saying nothing
She′s just giggling along
And even if they were to find us
I wouldn′t notice, I′m completely occupied

At all the fools on parade
Cavort and carry on for waiting eyes
That you would rather be beside than in front of
But she′s never been the kind
To be hollowed by the stares
Fools on parade
Frolic and fuck about to make her gaze
Turn to a scribble on a page by a picture
That holds her options
But you′re daft to think she′d care

Fools on parade [3x]
Conduct a sing-along

Brian
Top marks for not trying
So I′d like you to bless us with your effortlessness
We′d wait for and so trained and comforted

And I wonder
Are you putting us under
′Cos we can′t take our eyes off his t-shirt
And ties combination

Well see ya later Innovator!

Some want to kiss some want to kick you
There′s not a net you couldn′t slip through
Or at least that’s the impression I get
′Cos you’re smooth and you’re wet
And she’s not aware yet, but she’s yours

She′ll be sayin′ "Use me"
Show me the Jacuzzi
I imagine that it′s there on a plate
you′re our rendevouz rate
Means you′ll never be frightnened
To make em wait for a while
I doubt it′s your style
Not to get what you set
Out to acquire
The eyes are on fire
You are the un-forcasted storm

Calm, Collected and Commanding
(Top marks for not trying)
You hit the other story standing
With your ambitions and jokes
I bet there′s hundreds of blokes
That have wept ′cos you′ve stolen their...

Thunder
Are you putting us under
′Cos we can′t take our eyes of his t-shirt
and ties combination

Well see ya later

Arctic Monkeys - A Certain Romance

Oh they might wear classic reeboks
Or knackered converse
Or trackie bottoms tucked in socks
But all of that′s what the point is not
The point′s that there ain′t no romance around there

And there′s the truth that they can′t see
They′d probably like to throw a punch at me
And if you could only see them then you would agree
Agree that there ain′t romance around there

You know, oh it′s a funny thing you know
We′ll tell ′em if you like, we′ll tell ′em all tonight
They′ll never listen
′Cause their minds are made up and course it′s all OK to carry on that way

And over there there′s broken bones
There′s only music so that there′s new ringtones
But it don′t take no Sherlock Holmes
To see it′s a little different around here

Don′t get me wrong though there′s boys in bands
And kids who like to scrap with pool cues in their hands
And just ′cause he′s had a coupla cans
He thinks it′s alright to act like a dickhead

Don′t you know, oh it′s a funny thing you know
We′ll tell ′em if you like, we′ll tell ′em all tonight
They′ll never listen
Cause their minds are made up
And course it′s all OK to carry on that way
I said no, oh no
Oh you won′t get me to go
Anywhere, said anywhere
I won′t go
Oh no no

Well over there there′s friends of mine
What can I say? I′ve known ′em for a long long time
And yeah, they might over step the line
But I just cannot get angry in the same way
Oh not in the same way
Well not in the same way
Oh no
Oh no no

Arctic Monkeys - Cornerstone

Thought I saw you in the battleship
but it was only a look a like
She was nothing but a vision trick
Under the warning light
She was close, close enough to be your ghost
But my chances turned to toast
When I asked her if I could call her your name

I thought I saw you in the rusty hook
Huddled up in wicker chair
I wandered up for a closer look
And kissed who ever was sitting there

She was close, and she held me very tightly
Till I asked awfully politely, please
Can I call you her name

And I elongated my lift home,
Yeah I let him go the long way round
I smelt your scent on the seatbelt
And kept my shortcuts to myself

I thought I saw you in the parrots beak
Messing with the smoke alarm
It was too loud for me to hear her speak
And she had a broken arm

It was close, so close that the walls were wet
And she wrote it out in letraset
No you can′t call me her name

Tell me where′s your hiding place
I′m worried I′ll forget your face
And I′ve asked everyone
And I′m beginning to think I imagined you all along

I elongated my lift home
Yeah I let him go the long way round
I smelt your scent on the seatbelt
And kept my shortcuts to myself

I saw your sister in the cornerstone
On the phone to the middle man
When I saw that she was on her own
I thought she might understand
She was close, well you couldn′t get much closer
She said I′m really not supposed to but yes,
You can call me anything you want

Arctic Monkeys - Do Me A Favour

Well the morning was complete.
There was tears on the steering wheel dripping on the seat,
Several hours or several weeks,
I′d have the cheek to say they′re equally as bleak!

It′s the beginning of the end, the car went up the hill,
And disappeared around the bend, ask anyone they′ll tell you that.
It′s these times that it tends,
The start to breaking up, to start to fall apart
Oh! hold on to your heart.

Do me a favour, break my nose!
Do me a favour, tell me to go away!
Do me a favour, stop asking questions!

She walked away, well her shoes were untied,
And the eyes were all red,
You could see that we′ve cried, and I watched and I waited,
′Till she was inside, forcing a smile and waving goodbye.

Curiousity becomes a heavy load,
Too heavy to hold, too heavy to hold.
Curiousity becomes a heavy load,
Too heavy to hold, will force you to be cold.

And do me a favour, and ask if you need some help!
She said, do me a favour and stop flattering yourself!
How to tear apart the ties that bind, perhaps fuck off, might be too kind,
Perhaps fuck off, might be too kind.

Arctic Monkeys - Despair In The Departure Lounge

He′s pining for her
In a people carrier
There might be buildings and pretty things to see like that
But architecture won′t do
Although it might say a lot about the city or town
I don′t care what they′ve got keep on turning them down
It don′t say the funny things she does
Don′t even try and cheer him up, because
It just won′t happen

He′s got the feeling again
This time on the aeroplane
There might be tellys in the back of the seats in front
But Rodney and Del won′t do
Although it might take your mind off the aches and the pains
Laugh when he falls through the bar
But you′re feeling the same
′Cause she isn′t there to hold your hand
She won′t be waiting for you when you land

It feels like she′s just nowhere near
You could well be out on your ear
This thought comes closely followed by the fear
And the thought of it
Makes you feel a bit ill

Yesterday I saw a girl
Who looked like someone you might knock about with
And almost shouted
And then reality kicked in within us
It seems as we become the winners
You lose a bit of summat
And half wonder if you won it at all

And don′t say ′owt ′cause you′ve got no idea
And she′s still nowhere near
And the thought comes closely followed by the fear
And the thought of it
Makes you feel a bit ill

Despair in the departure lounge
It′s one and they′ll still be around at three
No signal and low battery
What′s happened to me

Arctic Monkeys - Dangerous Animals

Been fighting with my sheets
And nearly crying in my sleep
Yes, I′m battling that well taught gripe
The most restraining type
You should have racing stripes

The way you keep me in pursuit
Sharpen the heel of your boot
And you press it to my chest and you make me wheeze
Then to my knees you do promote me

I′m pinned down by the dark
A-N-I-M-A-L
Makes my head pirouette
More than I won′t be willing to confess
D-A-N-G-E-R-O-U-S

The light it fidgets through
The thoughts′ll soon revert to you
About as bashful as a tribal dance
The first and final chance
And cause the audience

The frighteners and fiends
Divided up into two teams
When the acrobat fell off the beam
She broke everyone′s hearts

I′m pinned down by the dark
A-N-I-M-A-L
Makes my head pirouette
More than I would be willing to confess
D-A-N-G-E-R-O-U-S

The most unsuitable pet
It′s been long enough now so let′s

Pinned down by the dark

Arctic Monkeys - Fire And The Thud

You showed me my tomorrow
Beside a box of matches
A welcome threatening stir

My hopes of being stolen
Might just ring true
Depends who you prefer

But if it′s true you′re gonna run away
Tell me where
I′ll meet you there

Am I snapping the excitement
If I pack away the laguther
And tell you how it feels

And does burden come to meet ya
If I′ve questions of the feature that runs on your dream wheel

The day after you stole my heart,
Everything I touched told me it would be better shared with you

And you′re hiding in my soup
And the book reveals your face
And there′s a splashing in my eyelids
The concentration continually breaks

I did request the mark you cast
Didn′t heal as fast
I hear your vioce in silences
Will the teasing of the fire be followed by the thud?

And the jostling crowd
You′re not allowed to tell the truth
And the photobooth′s a liar
And the sharpened explanations
But theres no screaming reason to inquire
I′d like to poke them in their prying eyes with things they never see if it smacks in their temples

And the coppers kicked him in
And there was no way he could win
Just had to take it on the chin
Smoked a bong a last night
And stole somebody′s telephone
He thinks it′s all alright
But they′ve left him on his own, on his own

But baby stop calling
Over and over yeah
And give me some funny cigarettes
And do what they told you, yeah

Pinched a car with one headlight
And lost control the passengers were screaming
Made him shut his eyes way tight
And think of you, and hope that he was dreaming

Then up rolled the riot van
And called the fire brigade
But it was already too late
And there was no arrests to make
Ohhhhh!

But baby stop calling
Over and over yeah

Arctic Monkeys - This House Is A Circus

This house is a circus, berserk as fuck
We tend to see that as a perk though. Look
What it′s done to your friends their memories are pretend
And the last thing they want is for the feeling to end
This house is a circus, berserk as fuck
We tend to see that as a perk though. Look
What it′s done to your friends their memories are pretend
And the last thing they want is for the feeling to end
Looking for trouble and there′s lovers to be had
Those ones next to us are such lovely lads
Scaling the corridors for maidens in the maze
And the anomaly is slipping into familiar ways
And we′re forever unfulfilled
Can′t think why
Like a search for murder clues
In dead man′s eyes
Forever unfulfilled
And can′t think why
Like a search for murder clues
In dead man′s eyes

The more you open your mouth
The more you′re forcing performance
All the attention is leading me to feel important (completely obnoxious)
Now that we′re here, we may as well go too far

Wriggling around just so that you won′t forget
There′s certainly some venom in the looks that you collect
Aimlessly gazing at the blazers in the queue
Struggling with the notion that it′s life not film

This house is a circus, berserk as fuck
We tend to see that as a perk though. Look
What it′s done to your friends their memories are pretend
And the last thing they want is for the feeling to end

Arctic Monkeys - Pretty Visitors

Tricking through the morning,
The tramp with the trampoline under his arm,
Shifts past your whiskers,
So spark is a charm with the barking alarm,
Weighs coil ′til the corner is turned.

And the bicycle wheels, all struggle to move round,
In your muddy mind,
Blatantly cape town,
And will intertwine in co-operative time,
Shall we sit on the springs ′til the mung goes dry?

All the pretty visitors came and waved their arms and cast the shadow of a snake pit on the wall,
All the pretty visitors came and waved their arms and cast the shadow of a snake pit on the...

What came first the chicken or the dickhead?
Split sleep reeps through rewards and ill fitting thoughts,
A twilight force, she doesn′t wanna walk,
Your legs start running and your head gets caught,
Cannot be nineteen, it′s perfectly placed for the reasonably frightening,
Pulled from the after taste, you′ll have to slip away,
and I′m happy to say,
Behold as the crook in a hammock plays...

All the pretty visitors came and waved their arms and cast the shadow of a snake pit on the wall,
All the pretty visitors came and waved their arms and cast the shadow of a snake pit on the wall...

Behold as the crook in the hammock plays,
Crawling with the base of the scales,
And fiddles with the feet on a balancing act,
Gagged, bound and craft in a tale,
Trailing wrapped in a gasp,

Crawling with the base of the scales,
And f*cking fiddles with the feet on a balancing act,
You were gagged, bound and craft in a tale,
Trailing wrapped in a gasp.

All the pretty visitors came and waved their arms and cast the shadow of a snake pit on the wall,
All the pretty visitors came and waved their arms and cast the shadow of a snake pit on the wall.

Arctic Monkeys - If You Were There, Beware

If you were there, beware
The serpent soul pinchers
Three hundred and fifty no thank yous and nobody flinches
Go on girl go on, give us something gruesome
We require your grief, the thugs help the thieves
As they′re trying to rock the words from a goblin′s ???
Take the source of the innocents

If you were there, beware
The serpent soul pinchers
Can′t you sense she was never meant
To fill column inches
And you′ve had enough, what you′re trying to dig up
Isn′t there to be dug, the thieves help the thugs
As they′re trying be the good grace of a sweetheart
Out to the point she′ll comply

Why leave her on her own
If I′d have known then I wouldn′t have said it
I wouldn′t have said it if I would have known
Why leave her on her own
If I predicted tears then I wouldn′t have said it
I wouldn′t have said it if I would have known

There′s a circle of witches, ambitiously vicious they are
Our attempts to remind them of reason won′t get us that far
I don′t know what it is that they want
I don′t know what it is that they want
But I haven′t got it to give
She hasn′t got it to give

Arctic Monkeys - Space Invaders

Space invaders flying home
Yeah, they′re going to hit the sack
And they are prob′ly going to die getting high
Cause they′re mixing crazy ... with the crack
And she′s kissing all the boys
She′s to clever to be slack
But she′s bound to go away for a day
In July, so she won′t be coming back

Baby, baby, baby
The good old days to tax
Baby, baby, baby
Won′t you dry your pretty eyes
Baby, baby, baby
Your good old days to tax
Come on!

.... (missing verse)

And she′s kissing all the boys
She′s to clever to be slack
But she′s bound to go away for a day
In July, so she won′t be coming back

Baby, baby, baby
The good old days to tax
Baby, baby, baby
Won′t you dry your pretty eyes
Baby, baby, baby
Your good old days to tax
Come on!

Arctic Monkeys - Fluorescent Adolescent

You used to get it in your fishnets
Now you only get it in your night dress
Discarded all the naughty nights for niceness
Landed in a very common crisis
Everything′s in order in a black hole
Nothing seems as pretty as the pastel
That Bloody Mary′s lacking her Tabasco
Remember when you used to be a rascal?
Oh the boy′s a slag
The best you ever had
The best you ever had
Is just a memory and those dreams
Weren′t as daft as they seem
Not as daft as they seem
My love when you dream them up...

Flicking through a little book of sex tips
Remember when the boys were all electric?
Now when she′s told she′s gonna get it
I′m guessing that she′d rather just forget it
Clingin′ ′til I′m gettin′ sentimental
Said she wasn′t going but she went still
Likes just a minute to be gentle
Was it a Mecca dobber or a betting pencil?

Oh the boy′s a slag
The best you ever had
The best you ever had
Is just a memory and those dreams
Weren′t as daft as they seem
Not as daft as they seem
My love when you dream them up
Oh, where did you go?
Where did you go?
Where did you go? Woah.

Falling about
You took a left off last laugh lane
You were just sounding it out
You′re not coming back again.

Falling about
You took a left off last laugh Lane
You just sounded it out
You′re not coming back again.

You used to get it in your fishnets
(Falling about)
Now you only get it in your night dress
Discarded all the naughty nights for niceness
(You took a left off last laugh lane)
Landed in a very common crisis
Everything′s in order in a black hole
(You just sounded it out)
Nothing seems as pretty as the pastel
That Bloody Mary′s lacking her Tabasco
(You′re not coming back again.)
Remember when you used to be a rascal?

Arctic Monkeys - Dancing Shoes

Get on your dancing shoes
There′s one thing on your mind
Oh, been there looking for you
Sure you′ll be rummagin′ through
Oh and the shit, shock, horror
You′ve seen your future bride
Oh, but it′s oh so absurd
For you to say the first word
So you′re waitin′n′waitin′n...

The only reason that you came
So what ya scared for?
Oh don′t you always do the same
It′s what ya there for, don′t ya know..

The lights are flashing
Down in here tonight
And so′m I exchange a glance
But keep pretending to dance

Don′t act like it′s not happening
As if its impolite
To go and mention your name
Instead you′ll just do the same
As they all do, and hope for the best...

The only reason that you came
So what ya scared for?
Well don′t ya always do the same
It′s what ya there for, oooo yaaa!!

Get on your dancing shoes
You sexy little swine
Oh, been there looking for you
Sure you′ll be rumagin′ through

Oh and the shit, shock, horror
You′ve seen your future bride
Oh, but it′s oh so absurd
For you to say the first word
So you′re waitin′n′waaaaaaaaaohhh...!

Arctic Monkeys - Cigarette Smoker Fiona

Sat at the side of the pool at one of your houses
With wet white trousers on
And worlds collide as the evening continues
The dignity fucks off

Her brother′s gone off to the strippers
To make up for all the lost time
She could have been one of the bitches
But she′s actually alright

(Cigarette smoker)
I′m sorry, but we′re all unsure
How much you′ve had but
(We think that you oughta) maybe not have any more

A country home, even if we really tried
What if it′s just surprises now?
And I bet your dad would like to give us all a slap
When are your parents back? d′you know?

Well I never came from no ghetto
But it wasn′t nowhere near here
Well-spoken girls in stillettos
Aren′t something to fear

(Cigarette smoker)
I′m sorry, but we′re all unsure
How much you′ve had but
(We think that you oughta) maybe not have any more

(Cigarette smoker)
I′m sorry, but we′re all unsure
How much you′ve had but
(We think that you oughta) maybe not have any more

(Cigarette smoker)
Cigarette smoke doesn′t hide
As well as you think
And you′d think that it oughta
Act as the perfect disguise

Arctic Monkeys - Crying Lightning

Sat in the cafe by the cracker factory
You were practicing a magic trick
And my thoughts got rude, as you talked and chewed
On the last of your pick and mix

Said your mistaken if your thinking that I haven′t been caught cold before
As you bit into your strawberry lace
And then a flip in your attention in the form of a gobstopper
Is all you have left and it was going to waste

Your past-times, consisted of the strange
And twisted and deranged
And I love that little game you had called
Crying lightning
And how you like to aggravate the ice-cream man on rainy afternoons

The next time that I caught my own reflection
It was on it′s way to meet you
Thinking of excuses to postpone
You never look like yourself from the side
But your profile did not hide
The fact you knew I was approaching your throne

With folded arms you occupy the bench like toothache
Saw them, puff your chest out like you never lost a war
And though I try so not to suffer the indignity of a reaction
There was no cracks to grasp or gaps to claw

And your past-times, consisted of the strange
And twisted and deranged
And I hate that little game you had called
Crying lightning
And how you like to aggravate the icky man on rainy afternoons

Uninviting
But not half as impossible as everyone assumes
You are crying lightning

Your past-times, consisted of the strange
And twisted and deranged
And I hate that little game you had called
Crying lightning
Crying lightning
Crying lightning
Crying lightning

Your past-times, consisted of the strange
And twisted and deranged
And I hate that little game you had called
Crying

Arctic Monkeys - Dance Little Liar

I heard the truth was built to bend
A mechanism to suspend the guilt
Is what you are requiring still
You′ve got to dance little liar

Just like those fibbs that pop and fizz
And you′ll be forced to take that awful quiz
And you′re bound to trip
And she′ll detect the fiction on
Your lips and dig a contradiction up

And the clean coming will hurt
And you can never get it spotless
When there′s dirt beneath the dirt
The liar take a lot less time

I′m sure it′s clear and plain to me
Its not an alibi you need just yet
Oh no it′s something for those beads of sweat
Yes that we′ll get you back to normal

And after you have dabbed the patch you′ll grieve
And then proceed to scratch the varnish off
That newly added calmness
So as not to raise any alarms too soon

And the clean coming will hurt
And you can never get it spotless
When there′s dirt beneath the dirt

The liar takes a lot less

Time to decide on his saunter
Have you got itchy bones
And in all your time alone
Can you hack your mind being riddled
with the wrong memories

And the clean coming will hurt
And you can never get it spotless
When there′s dirt between the dirt

Arctic Monkeys - Mardy Bum

Now then Mardy Bum
I see your frown and it′s like looking down the barrel of a gun
And it goes off
And out come all these words
Oh there′s a very pleasant side to you, a side I much prefer
It′s one that laughs and jokes around
Remember cuddles in the kitchen, yeah, to get things off the ground
And it was up, up and away
Oh, but it′s right hard to remember that, on a day like today
When you′re all argumentative
And you′ve got the face on

Well now then Mardy Bum
Oh I′m in trouble again, aren′t I?
I thought as much
Cause you turned over there
Pulling that silent disappointment face
The one that I can′t bare

Can′t we laugh and joke around?
Remember cuddles in the kitchen, yeah, to get things off the ground
And it was up, up and away
Oh, but it′s right hard to remember that, on a day like today
When you′re all argumentative
And you′ve got the face on

Yeah I′m sorry I was late
Well I missed the train and then the traffic was a state
But I can′t be arsed to carry on in this debate
That reoccurs, oh when you say I don′t care
But of course I do, yeah I clearly do!

So laugh and joke around
Remember cuddles in the kitchen, yeah, to get things off the ground
And it was up, up and away
Still it′s right hard to remember that, on a day like today
When you′re all argumentative
And you′ve got the face on

Arctic Monkeys - Old Yellow Bricks

Old yellow bricks,
Love′s a risk,
Quite the little Escapoligist
Looked so miffed,
When you wished,
For a thousand places better than this,

You are the fugitive,
But you dont know what you′re runnin from,
You cant kid us,
And you couldnt trick anyone,
Houdini, love you dont know what you′re runnin away from,

Who wants to sleep in the city that never wakes up?
Blinded by nostalgia,
Who wants to sleep in the city that never wakes up?

She wasnt raised by the way,
That the emperor put traps in the cage,
And the days she being dull,
Lead to nights readin beer bottles,

You′re such a fugitive,
But you dont know what you′re runnin from,
You cant kid us,
And you couldnt trick anyone,
Houdini, love you dont know what you′re runnin away from,

Who wants to sleep in the city that never wakes up?
Blinded by nostalgia,
Who wants to sleep in a city that never wakes up?

You′re at a loss,
Just because,
It wasnt all that you thought it was,

You are a fugitive but you dont know what you′re runnin away from,

She said I want to sleep in the city that never wakes up,
And revel in nostalgia,
I know I said he wants to sleep in the city that never wakes up but,
Dorothy was right though

Arctic Monkeys - Only Ones Who Know

In a foreign place, the saving grace was the feeling,
That it was a heart that he was stealing,
Oh he was ready to impress and the fierce excitement,
The eyes are bright he couldnt wait to get away,
I bet the juliet was just the icing on the cake,
Make no mistake no,

And even if somehow we could have shown you the place you wanted,

Well I′m sure you could have made it that bit better on your own,
And I bet she told a million people that she′d stay in touch,
Well all the little promises they dont mean much,
When theres memories to be made,
And I hope you′re holding hands by new years eve,
They made it far too easy to believe,
That true romance cant be acheived these days,

And even if somebody could have shown you the place you wanted,
Well I sure you could have made it that bit better on your own,
You are the only ones who know
