Curtains Closed lyrics - Arctic Monkeys

I so wanted it long but she cut it short
And now I'm catching a cold
I told you not but no crack in the doobie
But it was already rolled

Oh, I turned down my lights
And my curtains weren't closed
I turned down my lights
And my curtains weren't closed
Oh well, I turned down my lights
And my curtains weren't closed last night
Oh baby, I must be mad

Well, I don't care about your massage oils
It's got my skin going red
Cause I'm a mad mother-fucker
With my curtains open
Sitting tucked up in bed

I turned down my lights
And my curtains weren't closed
I turned down my lights
And my curtains weren't closed
Oh well, I turned down my lights
And my curtains weren't closed last night
Oh baby, I must be mad

I turned down my lights
And my curtains weren't closed
Oh well, I turned down my lights
And my curtains weren't closed
Oh yeah, well I turned down my lights
And my curtains weren't closed last night
Oh baby, I must be mad

Space Invaders lyrics - Arctic Monkeys

Space invaders flying home
Yeah, they're going to hit the sack
And they are prob'ly going to die getting high
Cause they're mixing crazy moments with the crack
And she's kissing all the boys
She's to clever to be slack
But she's bound to go away for a day
In July, so she won't be coming back

Baby, baby, baby
The good old days have died
Baby, baby, baby
Now won't you dry your pretty eyes
Baby, baby, baby
Your good old days are taxed
So come on!

Spot big bell bottom chords
And a matching with a hat
And you're a rule breaker, baby
Can't you see me standing
Only in your way to hit the sack?

And she's kissing all the boys
She's to clever to be slack
But she's bound to go away for a day
In July, so she won't be coming back

Baby, baby, baby
Your good old days have died
Baby, baby, baby
Won't you dry your pretty eyes
Baby, baby, baby
Your good old days are taxed
So come on!

On The Run From The MI5 lyrics - Arctic Monkeys

Come and take a leaf out of my book
I'm a crack dealing crook
Selling lots of rock and roll to the masses
And I know if you wanna take a trip to the city
We can go (to Gibraltar)
We can go (to Gibraltar)

Let's go, let's go, let's go, come on
Come on, come on, come on, come on
Let's go, let's go, let's go, come on

Give me your switch card - I'll book some flights

1996 And I'm stuck at the bottom of a truck
Got the road right in my..., got detectives
And I'll say if you catch me that I really wish
That I had stayed (in Gibraltar)
That I had stayed (in Gibraltar)

Let's go, let's go, let's go, come on
Come on, come on, come on, come on
Let's go, let's go, let's go, come on

Give me your switch card - I'll book some flights

Knock A Door Run lyrics - Arctic Monkeys

Watch me... watch me go
Well I'm struttin' up ever so slow
And now sting me... get in the groove
Cause they're bangin' on the door
Yes they're hard and they'll make a move

We're wakin' up those sleepers
You know we're so mischievous
Just what you'll do to keep us entertained
We're wakin' up those sleepers
You know we're so mischievous
Just what you'll do to keep us entertained

(Knock, run)
She's got you up and she's run, run, runnin' away
(Knock, run)
You're knockin' first if you think that you're comin' to play

And I don't mind
Cause all the time you're talkin' at me
No I don't mind at all

Oh well cap-guns and polystyrene planes
Well I'm buyin' penny bubblies with my change
Cause sting me... get in the groove
Cause they're bangin' on the door
Yes they're hard and they'll make a move

We're wakin' up those sleepers
You know we're so mischievous
Just what you'll do to keep us entertained
Oh well now she says she's goin'
That she's got the towel to throw in
Was just about to blow him and run away!

(Knock, run)
She's got you up and she's run, run, runnin' away
(Knock, run)
You're knockin' first if you think that you're comin' to play

And I don't mind
Cause all the time you're talkin' at me
Well I don't mind at all... no

Choo Choo lyrics - Arctic Monkeys

My baby wants to drive the train
But don't you let her, don't you let her touch the tracks
I said my baby wants to drive the train
Well all aboard yeah, and don't forget to mind the gap
Don't you let her, don't you know
She's sick and tired of
Being in the background, the passenger
Let her drive the train, oh!

Choo Choo!
Why don't you let her drive the train?
Choo Choo!
Why don't you let her drive the train, yeah

She's setting off from platform four
Make your way down, we'll shut the door bout quarter to five
I said she's setting off from platform four
And they've decided that they're gonna let her drive

Don't you let her, don't you know
She's sick and tired of
Being in the background, the passenger
Let her drive the train, oh!

Choo Choo!
Why don't you let her drive the train, oh...
Choo Choo!
Why don't you let her drive my train, yeah

Choo Choo!
Choo Choo!
Choo Choo!
Choo Choo!

2013 lyrics - Arctic Monkeys

Well the times are so a'changing
Baby even when it's live
You can press pause and rewind

You knew it would go amazing
But is this what you had in mind?
Oh there's nothing you can't find

It's two thousand and thirteen
All across the galaxy
It's two thousand and thirteen
(Yeah)

On the back of a transmitter
There's a little shiny fruit
And it's coming after you

As for Instagram and Twitter
She got caught in both lassoes
And neither one will cut her loose

It's two thousand and thirteen
All across the galaxy
It's two thousand and thirteen
(Yeah) Yeah

So baby take a walk with me
Past flying cars and time machines
There's magic like you won't believe, no

It's two thousand and thirteen
All across the galaxy
It's two thousand and thirteen
All across the galaxy

Don't Forget Whose Legs You're On lyrics - Arctic Monkeys

In the painted faces congregate
In the mating season
The seconds homes
They go alone
In no rush leave 'em
And there's a fountain
And a scimitar
Shaped yellow light
And it picks you up
And cuts you down to size

The people there
And the furniture
Start to seem important
A moment more
And you catch the floor
With a vivid and absorbent sharpened arc
Like the scimitar
Shaped yellow light
That picks you up
And cuts you down to size

Oh I had questions for the tap dancer
Sat on my lap
And she had child proof caps on her answers
Stone blower blow me a stone
And show me that handsome enchancer
She had a rock on her throttle
And a brown glass bottle full of
Shavings from the sun
Although those shoes affect your step
Don't forget whose legs you're on

There's a fountain and a scimitar
Shaped yellow light
And it picks you up
And it cuts you down to size

Catapult lyrics - Arctic Monkeys

Both sides, and softly came the growl from both sides
And if his whisper splits the mist
Just think of what he's capable of with his kiss

Nice try, you cannot turn away but nice try
Turned your legs to little building blocks
And with his index finger flicks you on your socks

I'll go high pitched, he'll talk and make you voice sound high pitched
Dread to think if he got you on your own
And whispered in your ear in that baritone

It's the same stone, his heart was cut out of the same stone
That they used to calve his jaw, it's impossible not to feel inferior

And he could catapult you back to your daddy
Or into any hissing misery
And he will tear you out the day after a triumph is as hollow
As the day after a tragedy
He'll extinguish any chance of escape
When he slaps you on your arse or kisses your nape
And he's leaving without saying 'Bye'

And you would queue up to listen to him pissing
And hang around to watch some poor girl bluff
And then they chase him down the avenue
Incessently pestering him to let him join the club

He knows how to put a cork in the foot
And just how to shut up the charming ones of us
And they've seen him talking to your lady friend

There's a dust track waiting for betrayal
Where he'll teach you all the bits they missed

Nice try, you cannot turn away but nice try
Nice try, you cannot turn away but nice try
Nice try, you cannot turn away but nice try
Nice try, you cannot turn away but nice try

You cannot turn away

Electricity lyrics - Arctic Monkeys

Darlin’ tell me something I don’t know
Be my baby, be my GTO
Call me something no one else calls me
I forget how I want it
That electricity

My heart was breaking and got left unlocked
Didn’t see you sneak in but I’m glad you stopped
Tell me something I don’t already know
Like how you get your kisses to fill me with electricity

Love like locked horns
Love like dominos
Be my midnight
Be my ebb and flow
I forget how I want it
How it crept up on me
It takes over
Electricity

And my heart was breaking and got left unlocked
Didn’t see you sneak in but I’m glad you stopped
Tell me something I don’t already know
Like how you get your kisses to fill me with electricity

Separated
There I face it
Love like thunder
Love like falling snow

Tell me something I don’t already know
Like how you get your kisses to fill me with electricity

Evil Twin lyrics - Arctic Monkeys

You've never met before,
But still she greets you like a long lost rock and roll,
She's definitely one of those,
But you'll go wherever she goes,

And when my body and my mind,
Both start talking at the exact same time,
Trying to think of ways to make her mine,
Bit difficult to find.

It's not what I need,
No, your love's not what I need,
So don't give it to me.

She said...

"Oh, well I know this will sound cold,
But I really have to go,
Oh, it's not that I'm not free,
There's nowhere I need to be,
It's just your love's not what I need,
So don't give it to me."

It's not what I need,
No, your love's not what I need,
So don't give to me.

She said "Baby, how can I believe you?
How can I believe you when you can't believe your luck? "
No point sticking to the plan when it's come unstuck.

It's more a hunger than a thirst,
You'll break it out the second time,
Before you know about the first,
Looks well-equipped to leave you in the lurch,
But you'll let her do your worst.

And it's not hard to tell,
It's obvious the other angels faces fell,
When she told them that she had to go,
Trade her wings and overcoat for something colourful.

It's not what I need,
No, your love's not what I need,
So don't give to me.

[x3:]
No, your love's not what I need,
So don't give to me.

No, your love's not what I need.

Fright Lined Dining Room lyrics - Arctic Monkeys

[Verse 1]
You thrive on dancing in our laps
Before the more familiar chaps
And all the curtain leads to fever

We watched the womanizer cry
And in the last sip you and I
Declared we might require a breather

I am the truth true through and I
Convey excitement fluently
As solid as I can busk shock

With well presented merry men
And I know all too well
I shouldn't break the key off in the lock

[Chorus]
And the tumble splits the fray
Revealing silk and fit
In the fright lined dining room
Throw a gaze towards them while they feast

[Verse 2]
The days drag their heels
When you're not there to crack the whip
And the weeks wait to burst like a sache of brats

The old pantomime villian follows my coat
And he hides where it hangs and he spies through the slots

And meanwhile in the desert's only costume shop
The cowels hide and wait to rot away
The identities of the willing

[Verse 3]
Drowned bags of sugar in the night
Rocketing shutter doors despite
The shop not opening for hours

You can itch, flap and whistle
And try to avoid the top
As I scribbled over dribble
You were snoring, showing off

[Chorus]
The tumble splits the frays
Revealing silk and fit
In the fright lined dining room
Throw a gaze towards them while they feast

Hold On, We're Going Home lyrics - Arctic Monkeys

(originally by Drake)

I got my eyes on you
You’re everything that I see
I want your hot love and emotion, endlessly
I can't get over you
You put your mark on me
I want your high love and emotion, endlessly
Cause you're a good girl and you know it
You act so different around me
Cause you're a good girl and you know it
I know exactly who you could be

Just hold on we're going home
Just hold on we're going home
It's hard to do these things alone
Just hold on we're going home

Yeah
I got my eyes on you
You’re everything that I see
I want your hot love and emotion, endlessly
I can't get over you
You left your mark on me
I want your high love and emotion, endlessly
Cause you're a good girl and you know it
You act so different around me
Cause you're a good girl and you know it
I know exactly who you could be

So just hold on we're going home
Just hold on we're going home
It's hard to do these things alone
Just hold on we're going home

You're the girl
You’re the one
Gave you everything I love
You think that’s something baby
You think that’s something baby
You're the girl
You’re the one
Gave you everything I love
You think that’s something baby
You think that’s something baby

So just hold on we're going home
Just hold on we're going home
It's hard to do these things alone
Just hold on we're going home
Yeah
Just hold on we're going home
Just hold on we're going home
So just hold on we're going home
Just hold on we're going home

I Haven't Got My Strange lyrics - Arctic Monkeys

When I got back from fixing my hair
You were directing the traffic
Letting your stories slip on the snow
As if the transmission was automatic

It's arguable that i shouldn't have been there
It was fortunate timing
I had a hole in the pocket of my favorite coat
And my love dropped into the lining

(Have you got your strange?)
Not on me, I haven't got my strange
(Have you got your strange?)
Not on me

You can't sleep 'til you've sat on the steps to weep
'Til you feel like you've wept, yeah

(As long as you don't forget your strange)
(Have you got your strange?)
No not on me
I haven't got my strange
(Have you got your strange?)
Not on me
I haven't got my strange
I better fetch my strange
I haven't got my strange
I haven't got my strange

If You Found This It's Probably Too Late lyrics - Arctic Monkeys

Under constant correction, a fraud, a fraud
Someone's perception, trying not to bore
I'm a cold-hearted kidder, applaud, applaud
If you're the highest bidder, I'm yours

You figure out pathetic sets
We're not sure of the etiquette
We think out pathetic sets
We're not sure of the etiquette

And if you found this, it's probably too late
Clinically cynical, hereditary hate
If you found this it's probably too late
Approaching the pinnacle, I'm running out of mates

If we concentrate on being off the cuff
Not sure we're ready, but probably rough
Frightened that honesty isn't enough
And it's nothing on the early stuff
