Wavin' Bye To The Train Or The Bus lyrics - Arctic Monkeys

Oh baby, I'm wanting to do you a swap
I'll give you anything, yeah
In return for the noises you've got
And I can see you want to be attended to
Just count to twenty-nine and I'll attend to you
Oh for sure... well certainly, yeah yeah yeah

Wavin' bye to the train or the bus
I'm ever so worried because...
I don't want to get all forgotten...

So very comfortable..
Don't really need to put up my feet,
And even in fat sam's grand slam,
Can't see it being easier to speak.
when you've karate-kicked your way to someone new
And I'm a memory and don't know what to do
All on his own...
Collecting his dole n' stuff

Wavin' bye to the train or the bus
I'm ever so worried because...
I don't want to get all forgotten...
Cause we know
Yeah, we know-oh-oh-oh
Oh we know, a woah-oh-oh

Don't know where we're going, baby
I s'pose it depends
But even if we're all far apart
We can all come back and all be fine
We'll be able to be together again

Be together again
Be together again
Be together again
...
Everybody will be together again!

Scummy lyrics - Arctic Monkeys

So 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
I bet your eyes are staring at the ground
She makes a subtle proposition
Sorry love I'll have to turn you down

And oh he must be up to something
Want half a chance to show he'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

They said it changes when the sun goes down
And they said it changes when the sun goes down
And they said it changes when the sun goes down
Around here
Around

And look here comes a Ford Mondeo
Isn't he Mister Inconspicuous
And he don't have to say 'owt
She understands she's here to get picked up

And 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
She don't stop in the winter, no and...

They said it changes when the sun goes down
And they said it changes when the sun goes down
And they said it changes when the sun goes down
Around here

They said it changes when the sun goes down
And they said it changes when the sun goes down
And they said it changes when the sun goes down
Around here
Around here

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

Ravey Ravey Ravey Club lyrics - Arctic Monkeys

She's the victim, well fuck all that we ain't goin home today
And she's been too much magic beans to walk all men away
And she's been eatin' too much magic beans to walk all men away
Put up your picture and the playful love will get around
Yeah but we'll get around yeah
Yeah but we'll get around

Well everyones felling alright
I won't be sleeping today
No I won't be sleeping tonight

We're felling silly, I'm feeling oh so sick
And I can't see you through the smoke because the clouds so thick
And theres a fire as your dancing to the disco sound
Put up your picture baby and love will get around
Yeah but we'll get around yeah
But yeah we'll get around

Everyone's feeling alright
I won't be sleeping today
And I won't be sleeping tonight

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.
