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
Tranquility Base Hotel + Casino lyrics - Arctic Monkeys
Jesus in the day spa filling out the information form
Mama got her hair done
Just popping out to sing a protest song
I've been on a bender back to that prophetic esplanade
Where I ponder all the questions but just manage to miss the mark
Good afternoon
Tranquility Base Hotel and Casino
Mark speaking
Please tell me how may I direct your call?
This magical thinking
Feels as if it really might catch on
Mama wants some answers
Do you remember where it all went wrong?
Technological advances
Really bloody get me in the mood
Pull me in close on a crisp eve baby
Kiss me underneath the moon's side boob
Good afternoon
Tranquility Base Hotel and Casino
Mark speaking
Please tell me how may I direct your call?
Do you celebrate your dark side
Then wish you'd never left the house?
Have you ever spent a generation trying to figure that one out?
Good afternoon
Tranquility Base Hotel and Casino
Mark speaking
Please tell me how may I direct your call?
Golden Trunks lyrics - Arctic Monkeys
Last night when my psyche's subcommittee sang to me in it's scary voice
You slowly dropped your eyelids
When true love takes a grip it leaves you without a choice
And in response to what you whispered in my ear
I must admit sometimes I fantasize about you too
The leader of the free world reminds you of a wrestler wearing tight golden trunks
He's got himself a theme tune
They play it for him as he makes his way to the ring
And in response to what you whispered in my ear
I must admit sometimes I fantasize about you too
In the daytime, bendable figures with a fresh new pack of lies
Summat else to publicise
I'm sure you've heard about enough
So in response to what you whispered in my ear
I'll be upfront, sometimes I fantasize about you too
Four Out Of Five lyrics - Arctic Monkeys
Advertise in imaginative ways
Start your free trial today
Come on in, the water's lovely
Look, you could meet someone you like
During the meteor strike
It is that easy
Lunar surface on a Saturday night
Dressed up in silver and white
With coloured "Old Grey Whistle Test" lights
Take it easy for a little while
Come and stay with us
It's such an easy flight
Cute new places keep on popping up
Since the exodus
It's all getting gentrified
I put a taqueria on the roof
It was well reviewed
Four stars out of five
And that's unheard of
Mr. Bridge and Tunnel on the starlight express
The head of special effects
In my mind's eye
Hokey Cokey with the opposite sex
The things you try to forget
Doesn't time fly?
I'm in no position to give advice
I don't wanna be nice
And you know that
Take it easy for a little while
Come and stay with us
It's such an easy flight
Cute new places keep on popping up Around Clavius
It's all getting gentrified
The Information-Action Ratio is the place to go
And you will not recognise
The old headquarters
All the nights that never happened
And the days that don't exist
At the Information-Action Ratio
Only time that we stop laughing
Is to breathe or steal a kiss
I can get you on the list for all the clubs
I can lift you up another semitone
Take it easy for a little while
(Take it easy for a little while)
Come and stay with us
It's such an easy flight
Cute new places keep on popping up
(Cute new places keep on popping up)
Since the exodus
It's all getting gentrified
The Information-Action Ratio
(The Information-Action Ratio)
Is the place to go
Four stars out of five
Take it easy for a little while
(Take it easy for a little while)
Come and stay with us
Now, it's such an easy flight
Cute new places keep on popping up
(Cute new places keep on popping up)
Around Clavius
It's all getting gentrified
I put a taqueria on the moon
(The Information-Action Ratio)
It got rave reviews
Four stars out of five
Take it easy for a little while
(Take it easy for a little while)
Come and stay with us
Four stars out of five
Take it easy for a little while
(Take it easy for a little while)
Come and stay with us
Four stars out of five
Take it easy for a little while
(Take it easy for a little while)
Come and stay with us
Four stars out of five
(Take it easy for a little while)
Four stars out of five
The World's First Ever Monster Truck Front Flip lyrics - Arctic Monkeys
You push the button and we'll do the rest
The exotic sound of data storage
Nothing like it
First thing in the morning
You push the button and we'll do the rest
Bastard latin
That's the best thing for it
You push the button and we'll do the rest
You and Lizzy in the summertime
Wrapping my tiny mind around a lullaby
There are things that I just cannot explain to you
And those that I hope I don't ever have to
Pattern language in the mood for love
You push the button and we'll do the rest
You and genie wearing stetson hats
Trying to gain access to my lily pad
There are things that I just cannot explain to you
And those that I hope I don't ever have to
The world's first ever monster truck front flip
I'm just a bad girl trying to be good
I've got a laser guiding my love that I cannot adjust
Forward thinking model villages
More brain shrinking moving images
You push the button and we'll do the rest
Science Fiction lyrics - Arctic Monkeys
Religious iconography giving you the creeps?
I feel rougher than a disco lizard tongue along your cheek
The rise of the machines
I must admit you gave me something momentarily
In which I could believe
But the hand of harsh reality's ungloved
And it's on its way back in to scoop you up
Not on my watch
I want to stay with you my love
The way some science fiction does
Reflections in the silver screen of strange societies
Swamp monster with a hard-on for connectivity
The ascension of the C.R.E.A.M
Mass panic on a not too distant future colony
Quantitative easing
I want to make a simple point about peace and love
But in a sexy way where it's not obvious
Highlight dangers and send out hidden messages
The way some science fiction does
I've got the world on a wire in my little mirror mirror on the wall
In the pocket of my raincoat
So I tried to write a song to make you blush
But I've a feeling that the whole thing
May well just end up too clever for its own good
The way some science fiction does
She Looks Like Fun lyrics - Arctic Monkeys
One, two, three, four
She looks like fun
She looks like fun
She looks like fun
She looks like
Smile like you've got a straw in something tropical
I've got the party plugged right into my skull
Wayne Manor, what a memorable N.Y.E
(She looks like fun)
Good morning
(She looks like fun)
Cheeseburger
(She looks like fun)
Snowboarding
(She looks like)
Finally, I can share with you through cloudy skies
Every whimsical thought that enters my mind
There's no limit to the length of the dickheads we can be
(She looks like fun)
Bukowski
(She looks like fun)
Dogsitting
(She looks like fun)
Screwballing
(She looks like)
Finally, there's a place where you can wag your tongue
Baby, but why can't we all just get along?
Dance as if somebody's watching, because they are
No one's on the streets
We moved it all online
As of March
I'm so full of shite, I need to spend less time stood around in bars waffling on to strangers
All about martial arts
And how much I respect them
(She looks like fun)
Key changes
(She looks like fun)
Re-thinking
(She looks like fun)
New order
(She looks like fun)
Batphone lyrics - Arctic Monkeys
I want an interesting synonym to describe this thing
That you say we're all grandfathered in
I'll use the search engine
(We've got much to discuss)
Too much to discuss over a bucket of balls
I can recall the glow of your low beams
It's the big night in Tinsel City
Life became a spectator sport
I launch my fragrance called 'Integrity'
I sell the fact that I can't be bought
Have I told you all about the time that I got sucked into a hole
Through a handheld device?
I will flashback now and again, but I'm usually alright
Thankfully, the process has been simplified
Since the last time you tried
I've recognised the glow of your low beams numerous times
I'll be by the Batphone if you need to get a hold
Making a selection, opening credits roll
Panoramic windows looking out across your soul
You go in through the door
Vengeance trilogy wallpaper walls
They have re-decorated it all
They've changed all the lights and the bar's down the side
I've recognised the glow of your low beams numerous times
Through fairly opaque blinds in the sitting room
Vehicles will pass by, but I know when it's you
I'll be in a nose dive in my flying shoes
Right behind your closed eyes like a memory from your youth
I'll be by the Batphone if you need to get a hold
Making a selection, opening credits roll
Killer Pink Flamingos, computer controlled
Panoramic windows looking out across your soul
The Ultracheese lyrics - Arctic Monkeys
Still got pictures of friends on the wall
I suppose we aren't really friends anymore
Maybe I shouldn't ever have called that thing friendly at all
Get freaked out from a knock at the door
When I haven't been expecting one
Didn't that used to be part of the fun, once upon a time?
We'll be there at the back of the bar
In a booth like we usually were
Every time there was a rocket launch or some big event
What a death I died writing that song
Start to finish, with you looking on
It stays between us, Steinway and his sons
Because it's the ultracheese
Perhaps it's time that you went for a walk
Dressed like a fictional character
From a place they called America in the golden age
Trust the politics to come along
When you were just trying to orbit the sun
When you were just about to be kind to someone because you have the chance
I've still got pictures of friends on the wall
I might look as if I'm deep in thought
But the truth is I'm probably not
If I ever was
Oh the dawn won't stop weighing a tonne
I've done some things that I shouldn't have done
But I haven't stopped loving you once
Oh...
7 lyrics - Arctic Monkeys
Well I wrote my number down
I never wrote it down before
Was gonna bring it over like something from a film
But I didn't have the bottle at all
Well I'm looking and you kept staring
Your thoughts pairing up with mine
And when you're so pretty and I'm so shy
You probably didn't give me the eye but I'm sure you did
Well I went outside
Couldn't say I tried
And I felt regret
Because you haven't bashed me and dashed back in
'Cause the ship hasn't sailed yet
But when I did I couldn't see your face
I could see your mates but that wouldn't do
Well I dashed around tried to find you
But you were, nowhere to be seen
Oh no no...
(la la la, la la la, la, la la la la)
(la la la, la la la, la, la la la la)
(la la la, la la la, la, la la la la)
(la la la, la la la, la, la la la la)
Well she moved in ways, that kept her there
In our minds for days
And weeks and months
I was that amazed
And there she stayed
Surrounded by the what if's and the maybe's
Anyways lyrics - Arctic Monkeys
Just another microcosm somewhere in the ether
Putting a world to rights with Bing Crosby eyes
Oversharing and its bitter aftertaste
Exactly the wrong time in exactly the wrong place
Save it for a rainy day
Baby, you go hard in the paint
It's just another race to anyways
Philanthropic toga party
What a place for both the opposite sides of my double life to finally collide
Sharing secrets I was taking to the grave
Nosebleeds from epiphanies I took full in the face
Oh, come all by the fire, babe, let's all participate
In yet another race to anyways
Oh, how's your Mum and Dad been doing with the generation gap?
Yeah, I'm behind my movie camera
I've got my megaphone
You can call me Alexander
It's nice to meet you all
Listening to the Shipping Forecast
Driving to the airport
Me and the guys
Metropolis ablaze in the rear view
Devising methods to both have and eat your cake
Mmm, just like the ones that Mother Nature used to bake
You look as if you know exactly what I'm gonna say
Is just another race to
Anyways
Bad Woman lyrics - Arctic Monkeys
When you left the house this evening,
You said you'd be back in a little while
Well I've been waiting for such a long time,
And this wait is driving me wild...
And while I wait I think about you,
Do you need me when I'm not there?
Are you planning to be without me?
Do you have a new attract?
You're a bad bad woman
You're a bad bad woman
If he is on you...
It keeps flashing through my mind,
If you would only call,
If you would be so kind.
Imagine things,
I see another man
And it's this waiting I just can't stand...
You're a bad bad woman
You're a bad bad woman
You're a bad bad woman
You're a bad bad woman
I.D.S.T. lyrics - Arctic Monkeys
I wrote "I was here
I.D.S.T."
On the bathroom mirror
I.D.S.T.
I.D.S.T.
I.D.S.T.
I.D.S.T.
I.D.S.T.
I.D.S.T.
I.D.S.
T.
I wrote "Mark for Jenny
I.D.S.T."
With a drawing compass
On the backseat
I.D.S.T.
I.D.S.T.
I.D.S.T.
I.D.S.T.
I.D.S.T.
I.D.S.
T.
I.D.S.T.
I.D.S.T.
I.D.S.T.
I.D.S.
T.
Only You Know lyrics - Arctic Monkeys
(originally by Dion)
I want to see something that used to be in your eyes again
I'm waiting to see it you know it's only a question of when
And I know how much I'm missing heaven
You know that its missing
And only you know
Where you have been to
Only you know
What you have been through
There's better things
You're gonna get into
And I want to be there too
I know it's not easy for you to start to believe again
And when the day comes don't let yourself be deceived again
Cause I know how you've been waiting
Such a long time that you've been waiting
And only you know
Where you have been to
Only you know
What you have been through
There's better things
You're gonna get into
And I want to be there too
And I know how you've been waiting
Such a long time that you've been waiting
And only you know
Where you have been to
Only you know
What you have been through
There's better things
You're gonna get into
And I want to be there too
