There'd Better Be A Mirrorball lyrics - Arctic Monkeys
Don't get emotional, that ain't like you
Yesterday's still leaking through the roof, that's nothing new
I know I promised this is what I wouldn't do
Somehow giving it the old romantic fool
Seems to better suit the mood
So if you wanna walk me to the car
You oughta know I'll have a heavy heart
So can we please be absolutely sure
That there's a mirrorball?
You're getting cynical and that won't do
I'd throw the rose tint back on the exploded view
Darling, if I were you
And how's that insatiable appetite?
For the moment when you look them in the eyes
And say "Baby, it's been nice"
So do you wanna walk me to the car?
I'm sure to have a heavy heart
So can we please be absolutely sure
That there's a mirrorball for me?
Oh, there'd better be a mirrorball for me
I Ain't Quite Where I Think I Am lyrics - Arctic Monkeys
Freaky keypad by the retina scan
I've been given good reason to believe
I ain't quite where I think I am
But it's always worth half a blast
You know the face but you can't see past
The disco strobes in the stumbling blocks
Wait, there's the other island now
Formation displays of affection fly over
(Eyes roll back)
And I can see both islands now
It's the intermission
Let's shake a few hands
Blank expressions invite me to suspect
I ain't quite where I think I am
Stackable party guests to fill the awkward silences
The disco strobes in the stumbling blocks
Wait, there's the other island now
Formation displays of affection fly over
(Eyes roll back)
And I can see both islands now from my vantage point
The spare set of tingles will race up your spine
If I get it my way
Looks like the Riviera is coming in to land
Early predictions would seem to suggest
I ain't quite where I think I am
Formation displays of affection fly over
(Eyes roll back)
And I can see both islands now
Sculptures Of Anything Goes lyrics - Arctic Monkeys
How am I supposed to manage my infallible beliefs
While I'm sockin' it to ya?
Performing in Spanish on Italian TV
Sometime in the future
Whilst wondering if your mother still ever thinks of me
Hallelujah
Blank canvasses lent against gallery walls
Flowing towards sculptures of Anything Goes
On the marble stairs
Is that vague sense of longing kinda trying to cause a scene?
Guess I'm talking to you now
Puncturing your bubble of relatability
With your horrible new sound
Baby, those mixed messages ain't what they used to be
When you said 'em out loud
Blank canvasses lent against gallery walls
Flowing towards sculptures of Anything Goes
On the marble stairs
Leading to almost wherever you want them to
The simulation cartridge for City Life '09
Is pretty tricky to come by
Village coffee mornings with not long since retired spies
Now that's my idea of a good time
Flash that angle grinder smile, gasp and roll your eyes
And help me to get untied from the chandelier
And twizzling 'round an umbrella
I'll sing a tune
Jet Skis On The Moat lyrics - Arctic Monkeys
Jet skis on the moat
They shot it all in CinemaScope
As though it's the last time you're gonna ride
Showstoppers anonymous
Come over here and give your buddy a hug
So much for deciding not to let it slide
Is there something on your mind
Or are you just happy to sit there and watch
While the paint job dries?
When it's over, you're supposed to know
Lights out on the Wonderpark
Your sawtoothed lover boy was quick off the mark
That's long enough in the sunshine for one night
Didn't recognise you through the smoke
Pyjama pants and a Subbuteo cloak
You know that it's alright if you wanna cry
Is there something on your mind
Or are you just happy to sit there and watch
While the paint job dries?
When it's over, you're supposed to know
Jet skis on the moat
They shot it all in CinemaScope
As though it's the last time you're gonna ride
Body Paint lyrics - Arctic Monkeys
For a master of deception and subterfuge
You've made yourself quite the bed, to lie in
Do your time traveling through the tanning booth
So you don't let the sun catch you crying
So predictable, I know what you're thinking
My teeth are beating and my knees are weak
It's as if there's something up with the wiring
You can poke your head behind the mountain peak
It don't have to mean that you've gone into hiding
So predictable, I know what you're thinking
I'm watching your every move
I feel the tears are coming on
It won't be long
It won't be long
Straight from the cover shoot
There's still a trace of body paint
On your legs and on your arms and on your face
And I'm keeping on my costume
And calling it a writing tool
And if you're thinking of me
I'm probably thinking of you
There's still a trace of body paint
On your legs and on your arms and on your face
There's still a trace of body paint
On your legs and on your arms and on your face
There's still a trace of body paint
On your legs and on your arms and on your face
There's still a trace of body paint
On your legs and on your arms and on your face
So predictable, I know what you're thinking
Ooh, hah, yeah
The Car lyrics - Arctic Monkeys
Your grandfather's guitar
Thinking about how funny I must look
Trying to adjust to what's been there all along
With the boat kiosk lady and her sleepy amigos
But it ain't a holiday until
You go to fetch something from the car
A travel size champagne cork pops
And we're sweeping for bugs in some dusty apartment
The what's it called café
You can arrive at eleven and have lunch with the English
But it ain't a holiday until
They force you to make a wish
They say "climb up this"
And "jump off that"
And you pretend to fall asleep on the way back
No, it ain't a holiday until
You go to fetch something from the car
Big Ideas lyrics - Arctic Monkeys
That's quite a number to sing
Spot lit getting lowered in
Can you co-direct and play the twins?
And adapt the main theme for mandolins?
I've conjured up wonderful things
The Ballad of What Could Have Been
Over and out
It's been a thrill
I had big ideas, the band was so excited
The kind you'd rather not share over the phone
But now the orchestra's got us all surrounded
And I cannot for the life of me remember how they go
Co-ordinated release
Nationwide festivities
We had 'em out of their seats
Waving their arms and stomping their feet
Some just hysterical scenes
The Ballad of What Could Have Been
Over and out
Really it's been a thrill
I had big ideas, the band was so excited
The kind you'd rather not share over the phone
But now the orchestra's got us all surrounded
And I cannot for the life of me remember how they go
I just can't for the life of me remember how they go
Hello You lyrics - Arctic Monkeys
Lego Napoleon movie written in noble gas-filled glass tubes underlined in sparks
I'll admit it's elaborate for a waking thought
Vortex to vortex, The Business they call Show
Hasn't ever been this pumped up before
Hello Gruesome, there's just enough time left to swing by and re-address the start
If you call and have them pull around the car and stop specialising in stories from the road
Hello you
Still dragging out a long goodbye?
I ought to apologise
For one of the last times
As that meandering chapter reaches its end and leaves us in a thoughtful little daze
This electric warrior's motorcade shall burn no more rubber down that boulevard
Read the message I left on the thank you card
Overtaking the tractor, waiting for sets of winds and bends to level out again
Picking your moment along a country lane
The kind where the harmonies feel right at home
Hello you
Still dragging out a long goodbye?
I ought to apologise
For one of the last times
Taking a dive into your crystal ball
I've snorkelled on the beaches fruitlessly
Why not rewind to Rawborough Snooker Club?
I could pass for seventeen if I
Just get a shave and catch some Zzz
Mr Schwartz lyrics - Arctic Monkeys
Put your heavy metal to the test
Might be half a love song in it all for you
Timing wise it's probably for the best
Come here and kiss me now before it gets too cute
Mr. Schwartz is staying strong for the crew
Wardrobe's lint rolling your velveteen suit
And smudging dubbin on your dancing shoes
Gradually it's coming into view
It's like your little directorial debut
As fine a time as any to deduce
The fact that neither you or I has ever had a clue
Mr. Schwartz is staying strong for the crew
Wardrobe's lint rolling your velveteen suit
And smudging dubbin on your dancing shoes
And if we guess who I'm pretending to be
Do we win a prize?
Having attempted twice, both incorrectly
Do we get a third try?
The gloved hand's reaching in to hit the switch
And there's not one goddam thing that you can do about it
Mr. Schwartz is having tea with the grips
Asking after all the wives and the kids
It's at the heart of what The Business is
Perfect Sense lyrics - Arctic Monkeys
Richard of York: The Executive Branch
Having some fun with the warm-up act
If that's what it takes to say goodnight
Then that's what it takes
A four figure sum on a hotel notepad
A revelation or your money back
That's what it takes to say goodnight
Sometimes I wrap my head around it all and it makes perfect sense
Keep reminding me that it ain't a race
When my invincible streak turns onto the final straight
If that's what it takes to say goodnight
Then that's what it takes
Star Treatment lyrics - Arctic Monkeys
I just wanted to be one of The Strokes
Now look at the mess you made me make
Hitchhiking with a monogrammed suitcase
Miles away from any half-useful imaginary highway
I'm a big name in deep space, ask your mates
But golden boy's in bad shape
I found out the hard way that
Here ain't no place for dolls like you and me
Everybody's on a barge
Floating down the endless stream of great TV
1984, 2019
Maybe I was a little too wild in the '70s
Rocket-ship grease down the cracks of my knuckles
Karate bandana, warp speed chic
Hair down to there, impressive moustache
Love came in a bottle with a twist-off cap
Let's all have a swig and do a hot lap
So who you gonna call?
The martini police?
Baby, that isn't how they look tonight, oh no
It took the light forever to get to your eyes
I just wanted to be one of those ghosts
You thought that you could forget
And then I haunt you via the rear view mirror
On a long drive from the back seat
But it's alright, 'cause you love me
And you recognise that it's ain't how it should be
Your eyes are heavy and the weather's getting ugly
So pull over, I know the place
Don't you know an apparition is a cheap date?
What exactly is it you've been drinking these days?
Jukebox in the corner, long, hot summer
They've got a film up on the wall and it's dark enough to dance
What do you mean you've never seen Blade Runner?
Oh, maybe I was a little too wild in the '70s
Back down to earth with a lounge singer shimmer
Elevator down to my make-believe residency
From the honeymoon suite
Two shows a day, four nights a week
Easy money
So who you gonna call?
The martini police?
So who you gonna call?
The martini police?
Oh, baby, that isn't how they look tonight
It took the light absolutely forever to get to your eyes
And as we gaze skyward, ain't it dark early?
It's the star treatment
Yeah, and as we gaze skyward, ain't it dark early?
It's the star treatment
It's the star treatment
The star treatment
One Point Perspective lyrics - Arctic Monkeys
(Live Version)
Dancing in my underpants
I'm gonna run for government
I'm gonna form a covers band and all
Back there by the baby grand
Did Mr. Winter Wonderland say
"Come here kid, we really need to talk"?
Bear with me, man, I lost my train of thought
I fantasize I call it quits
I swim with the economists
And I get to the bottom of it for good
By the time reality hits
The chimes of freedom fell to bits
The shining city on the fritz
They come out of the cracks
Thirsty for blood
Just as the apocalypse finally gets prioritized
And you cry some of the hottest tears you ever cried
Multiplied by five
I suppose a singer must die
"Singsong 'round the money tree"
This stunning documentary that no one else unfortunately saw
Such beautiful photography, it's worth it for the opening scene
I've been driving 'round listening to the score
Or maybe, I just imagined it all
I've played to quiet rooms like this before
Bear with me, man, I lost my train of thought
American Sports lyrics - Arctic Monkeys
So when you gaze at planet Earth from outer space
Does it wipe that stupid look off of your face?
I saw this aura over the battleground states
I lost the money, lost the keys
But I'm still handcuffed to the briefcase
And I never thought, not in a million year
That I'd meet so many Lolas
Can I please have my money back?
My virtual reality mask is stuck on ‘Parliament Brawl’
Emergency battery pack, just in time for my weekly chat
With God on video call
Breaking news, they take the truth and make it fluid
The trainer's explanation was accepted by the steward
A montage of the latest ancient ruins
Soundtracked by a chorus of "You don't know what you're doing"
And I never thought, not in a million years
That I'd meet so many Lolas
And all of my most muscular regrets
Explode behind my eyes like American sports
And I never thought, not in a million year
That I'd meet so many Lolas
