| Mardy Bum – Arctic Monkeys Posted: 12 May 2010 06:35 PM PDT 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 bear 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
And I can’t be arsed to carry on in this debate
That reoccurs, oh when you say I don’t care
Well 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 Related Lyrics

| If You Were There (Beware) – Arctic Monkeys Posted: 12 May 2010 06:27 PM PDT 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 Related Lyrics

| I Bet You Look Good On The Dancefloor – Arctic Monkeys Posted: 12 May 2010 06:22 PM PDT [verse]
Stop making the eyes at me,
I’ll stop making the eyes at you.
What really surprises me is that i don’t really you to
And your shoulders are frozen (as cold as the night)
Over you’re an explosion but you’re dynamite
Your name isn’t Rio, but i don’t care for sand
Lightning the fuse might in a bang with a bang-go [chorus]
I said i bet that you look good on the dance floor
I don’t know if you’re looking for romance or what
Don’t know what you’re looking for
Well i bet that you look good on the dance floor
Dancing to electro-pop like a robot from 1984
from 1984! [verse]
I wish you’d stop ignoring me because you’re sending me to despair,
Without a sound yeh you’re calling me and i don’t think it’s very fair
That your shoulders are frozen (as cold as the night)
Oh your an explosion (Your dynamite)
Your name isn’t Rio but i don’t care for sand
Lightning the fuse might result in a bang with a bang-go [chorus]
I said i bet that you look good on the dancefloor
I don’t know if you’re looking for romance or what
I don’t know what you’re looking for
I said i bet that you look good on the dance floor
Dancing to electro-pop like a robot from 1984

| From The Ritz To The Rubble – Arctic Monkeys Posted: 12 May 2010 06:14 PM PDT Last night these two bouncers
And one of em’s alright
The other one’s the scary one
His way or no way, totalitarian
He’s got no time for you
Looking or breathing
How he dosen’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 realize 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 secretly I think they want it all to kick off
They want, arms flying everywhere and
Bottles as well 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 thought a thousand million things that I could never think 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
That girl’s a different girl to her you kissed last night
You couldn’t have done that on a Sunday Last night what we talked about
It made so much sense
But now the haze has ascended
It don’t make no sense anymore Related Lyrics

| Fluorescent Adolescent – Arctic Monkeys Posted: 12 May 2010 06:09 PM PDT 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 past though
That Bloody Mary’s lacking a Tabasco
Remember when he used to be a rascal? Oh that boy’s a slag
The best you ever had
The best you ever had
Is just a memory and those dreams
Not 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 tells she’s gonna get it
I’m guessing that she’d rather just forget I
Clinging to not getting sentimental
Said she wasn’t going but she went still
Likes her gentlemen to not be gentle
Was it a megadobber or a betting pencil? Oh that 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 just sounded 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
Now you only get it in your night dress
Started all the naughty nights with niceness
Landed in a very common crisis
Everything’s in order in a black hole
Everything was pretty in the past though
That Bloody Mary’s lacking in tabasco
Remember when he used to be a rascal? Related Lyrics

| Fake Tales Of San Francisco – Arctic Monkeys Posted: 12 May 2010 06:01 PM PDT 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 rock stars 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 no
(Kick me out, kick me out) Fake Tales of San Francisco
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
she’s running to the streets outside
“Oh you’ve saved me,” she screams down the line
“The band weren’t very good
And I’m not having a nice time” 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
I’m sure that’s pretty far 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 Get off the bandwagon and put down the handbook Related Lyrics

| Do Me A Favour – Arctic Monkeys Posted: 12 May 2010 05:56 PM PDT ArcAWell 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. Related Lyrics

| Despair In The Departure Lounge – Arctic Monkeys Posted: 12 May 2010 05:51 PM PDT 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 Related Lyrics

| Dancing Shoes – Arctic Monkeys Posted: 12 May 2010 05:44 PM PDT Get on your dancing shoes
There’s one thing on your mind
Hoping they’re looking for you
Sure you’ll be rummaging’ through 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 waiting and waiting The only reason that you came
So what you scared for?
don’t you always do the same
It’s what you there for, don’t you know :the lights are flashing
Down in here tonight
And some might exchange a glance
But keep pretending to dance Don’t act like it’s not happening
As if it’s 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 you scared for?
Well don’t you always do the same
It’s what you’re there for but no Get on your dancing shoes
You sexy little swine
Hoping they’re looking for you
Sure you’ll be rummaging 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 waiting and waiting Related Lyrics

| Crying Lightning – Arctic Monkeys Posted: 12 May 2010 05:37 PM PDT Outside 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 Related Lyrics
