Arctic Monkeys Lyrics "I Bet You Look Good On The Dancefloor" [Verse] Stop making the eyes at me, I'll stop making my eyes at you. What it is that surprises me is that I don't really want you to And your shoulders are frozen (as 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 [Chorus:] I bet that you look good on the dance floor I don't know if you're looking for romance or... 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 Well, from 1984! [Verse] 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 (as 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 with a bang-go [Chorus] Oh, there ain't no love, no Montagues or Capulets Are just banging tunes and DJ sets and... Dirty dance floors, and dreams of naughtiness! Well, [Chorus]
"When The Sun Goes Down" I said, "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 Avert your eyes and staring at the ground She makes a subtle proposition, "I'm sorry, love, I'll have to turn you down" He must be up to something What are the chances? Sure it'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 'Cause they said it changes when the sun goes down Yeah, they said it changes when the sun goes down They said it changes when the sun goes down Around here Around here Look here comes a Ford Mondeo Isn't he Mister Inconspicuous? And he don't even have to say 'owt She's in the stance ready to get picked up Bet she's delighted when she sees him Pulling in and giving her the eye Because she must be fucking freezing
Scantily clad beneath the clear night sky it doesn't stop in the winter, no and they said it changes when the sun goes down yeah, they said it changes when the sun goes down and they said it changes when the sun goes down Around here Well, they said it changes when the sun goes down Over the river going out of town and they said it changes when the sun goes down Around here Around here 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 that he's got a nasty plan I hope you're not involved at all
"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, Awkwardly stretching and yawning, Its always hard in the morning, And I suppose that's the price you pay, Well oh it isn't what it was, She's thinking he looks different today, And now there's nothing left to guess now, You left before the lights came on, Because they didn't want to ruin, What it was that was brewing, Before they 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 they woke up together not quite realising how, Awkwardly stretching and yawning, It's always hard in the morning, And I suppose that's the price you pay, Well oh it isn't what it was, She's thinking he looks different today, And now 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...
I'll walk you up, what time's the bus come? [repeat]
"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 past though That Bloody Mary's lacking in 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 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 tells she's gonna get it I'm guessing that she'd rather just forget it Clinging to not getting sentimental Said she wasn't going but she went still Likes her gentlemen not to be gentle Was it a Mecca dauber 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, Flo, where did you go? Where did you go? Where did you go? Whoa. [2x] 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 (falling about) Discarded all the naughty nights for niceness
Landed in a very common crisis (you took a left off Last Laugh Lane) Everything's in order in a black hole Everything was pretty in the past though (you were just sounding it out) That Bloody Mary's lacking in Tabasco Remember when he used to be a rascal? (you're not coming back again)
"Crying Lightning" Outside the café 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'n'mix Said, "You're mistaken if you're thinking that I haven't been called 'cold' before" As you bit into your strawberry lace And offered me your attention in the form of a gobstopper It's all you had left and it was going to waste Your pasttimes consisted of the strange And twisted and deranged And I loved 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 its way to meet you Thinking of excuses to postpone You never looked like yourself from the side But your profile could not hide The fact you knew I was approaching your throne With folded arms you occupied the bench like toothache Stood and puffed your chest out like you'd never lost a war And though I tried 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 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..."
"Suck It And See" Your love is like a studded leather headlock Your kiss it could put creases in the rain You're rarer than a can of dandelion and burdock And those other girls are just postmix lemonade Suck it and see you never know Sit next to me before I go Jigsaw women with horror movie shoes Be cruel to me cause I'm a fool for you I poured my aching heart into a pop song I couldn't get the hang of poetry That's not a skirt girl that's a sawn off shotgun And I can only hope you've got it aimed at me Suck it and see you never know Sit next to me before I go Jigsaw women with horror movie shoes Be cruel to me cause I'm a fool for you Blue moon girls from once upon a Shangri-La How I often wonder where you are You have got that face that just says "Baby, I was made to break your heart" Suck it and see, you never know Sit next to me before I go Go, go, go Jigsaw women with horror movie shoes Be cruel to me cause I'm a fool for you
