Leave
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?
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
Of course it's fancy
dress
And they're all looking
quite full on 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's pressed the
star after she's pressed unlock
And there's verse and
chapter sat in her inbox
And all that it says
is that you've drank a lot
And you should bear that
in mind tonight, bear that in mind
Yeah, you should bear
that in mind tonight, bear that in mind
And you can pour your
heart out but her reasoning will block
Owt you send her after
nine o' clock
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
And she won't be surprised,
no she won't be shocked
When she's pressed the
star after she's pressed unlock
And there's verse and
chapter sat in her inbox
And all that it says
is that you've drank a lot
And you should bear that
in mind tonight, bear that in mind
Yeah, you should bear
that in mind tonight, bear that...
And you can pour your
heart out aroud three o'clock
When the 2 for 1's undone
the writers block
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
|
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
stalletoes
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
[Instrumental]
(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
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
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
[Instrumental]
(La la la la la, la la)
(x3)
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? |
