There's always somebody taller with more of a wit
And he's equipped to enthrall her and her friends think he’s fit
And you just can't measure up though, you don't have a prayer
Wishing that you'd made the most of her when she was there
They've got engaged there's no intention of a wedding
He's pinched ya bird and he'd probably kick your head in
Bigger boys and stolen sweethearts
Oh, you’re better off without her anyway
You said you wasn't sad to see her go
Yeah, but I know you were though
Now you don't know what she's up to you can only assume
If she's not in the front of the shops then they've gone to his room
Bet she's gone 'round in her school stuff, bet that’s what he likes
I know you thought she were different and you thought she were nice
But she's not nice, she's pretty fucking far from nice
She’s looking at you funny rarely looking at you twice
Bigger boys and stolen sweethearts
Oh, you’re better off without her anyway
You said you wasn't sad to see her go
Yeah, but it's so clear you were though
Have you heard what she has been doing? Never did it for me
He picks her up at the school gate at twenty past three
She’s been with all of the boys but, never went very far
And she wagged English and science just to go in his car
They've got engaged there's no intention of a wedding
He's pinched me bird and he'd probably kick my head in
Oh now the girls have grown
Yeah ut I'm sure that they still carry on in similar ways
Bigger boys and stolen sweethearts
Oh, I'm better off without her anyway
I said you wasn't sad to see her go
Yeah, but I'm only pretending, you know
Yeah, I'm only pretending, you know
I was only pretending, you know
I was only pretending, you know
Plastic Tramp lyrics - arctic monkeys
He looks as if he hasnt slept, his hair is purposely unkept
And then he knew his people wept, when you crafted your plan
The shadows underneath the eyes, and everywhere the bastard lies
My lack of Proof is your disguise, you won't remember me
There's nothing really I can say, but sorry mate and walk away
I could be wrong unless you play your game,
This world is cruel and most unkind
and horrible is redefined, I can't imagine that you'd mind at all
You're lying again, you're conscious in your friend
and the only thing your sobbing out is your imagination,
Lying again you're conscious in your friend and the only thing your sobbing out is your imagination
Is he really on the street, desperation on deceit and what he's wearing on his feet won't solve our mystery,
and i am baffled by how you stand there, soaking it in
and do you hide your identity where you hide your grin, better hide your grin
Shadows underneath the eyes, everywhere the bastard lies
My lack of Proof is your disguise, you won't remember me
There's nothing really I can say, but sorry mate and walk away
I could be wrong unless you play your game,
This world is cruel and is most unkind
and horrible is redefined, I can't imagine that you'd mind at all
You're lying again, your conscious in your friend
and the only thing your sobbing out is your imagination,
Lying again your conscious in your friend and the only thing your sobbing out is your imagination
And then he knew his people wept, when you crafted your plan
The shadows underneath the eyes, and everywhere the bastard lies
My lack of Proof is your disguise, you won't remember me
There's nothing really I can say, but sorry mate and walk away
I could be wrong unless you play your game,
This world is cruel and most unkind
and horrible is redefined, I can't imagine that you'd mind at all
You're lying again, you're conscious in your friend
and the only thing your sobbing out is your imagination,
Lying again you're conscious in your friend and the only thing your sobbing out is your imagination
Is he really on the street, desperation on deceit and what he's wearing on his feet won't solve our mystery,
and i am baffled by how you stand there, soaking it in
and do you hide your identity where you hide your grin, better hide your grin
Shadows underneath the eyes, everywhere the bastard lies
My lack of Proof is your disguise, you won't remember me
There's nothing really I can say, but sorry mate and walk away
I could be wrong unless you play your game,
This world is cruel and is most unkind
and horrible is redefined, I can't imagine that you'd mind at all
You're lying again, your conscious in your friend
and the only thing your sobbing out is your imagination,
Lying again your conscious in your friend and the only thing your sobbing out is your imagination
Settle For A Draw lyrics - arctic monkeys
Well I watch you tangle every weekend
It might start different but it ends up the same
One minute you're casually speaking
The next it all goes up and you pour fuel on the flame
With your Jerry can of words and tones
And no one's gonna start a revolution
So we best leave it well alone
And there's something that Frankie used to say, Apparently
Oh he says settle for a draw
Well you're not gonna get no more
So you should settle for a draw
I told you once I'm sure
I told you once I'm sure
You should settle for a draw
Why don't you settle for a draw?
Well you're right it is one set of rules for her
And then another set for you
But that's just the way it is I suppose
And there's nowt you can do
And lets not fall in the trap
Of answering back
I am just a beginner
But she'll be the only winner
That's for sure
So take the draw, if it's available
And if it sets on fire don't get out your jerry can of words and tones
And no one's gonna start a revolution
So we best leave it well alone
And there's something that Frankie used to say, Apparently
Oh he says settle for a draw
Well you're not gonna get no more
So you should settle for a draw
I told you once I'm sure
I told you once I'm sure
You should settle for a draw
Why don't you settle for a draw?
It might start different but it ends up the same
One minute you're casually speaking
The next it all goes up and you pour fuel on the flame
With your Jerry can of words and tones
And no one's gonna start a revolution
So we best leave it well alone
And there's something that Frankie used to say, Apparently
Oh he says settle for a draw
Well you're not gonna get no more
So you should settle for a draw
I told you once I'm sure
I told you once I'm sure
You should settle for a draw
Why don't you settle for a draw?
Well you're right it is one set of rules for her
And then another set for you
But that's just the way it is I suppose
And there's nowt you can do
And lets not fall in the trap
Of answering back
I am just a beginner
But she'll be the only winner
That's for sure
So take the draw, if it's available
And if it sets on fire don't get out your jerry can of words and tones
And no one's gonna start a revolution
So we best leave it well alone
And there's something that Frankie used to say, Apparently
Oh he says settle for a draw
Well you're not gonna get no more
So you should settle for a draw
I told you once I'm sure
I told you once I'm sure
You should settle for a draw
Why don't you settle for a draw?
Stickin' To The Floor lyrics - arctic monkeys
Won't somebody let me out?
Don't want to stick around no more
Sick of looking at you strange
Sick of sticking to the floor
Not one of you has got an ounce of style in ya
Said not one of you, no
Well fuck it all and break your nose
If they keep on pushing you around
If they keep on stepping on your toes
And pick you up when you fall down
Not one of you has got an ounce of style in ya
Said not one of you, no
Not one of you has got an ounce of style in ya, no
Said not one of you, no
Don't want to stick around no more
Sick of looking at you strange
Sick of sticking to the floor
Not one of you has got an ounce of style in ya
Said not one of you, no
Well fuck it all and break your nose
If they keep on pushing you around
If they keep on stepping on your toes
And pick you up when you fall down
Not one of you has got an ounce of style in ya
Said not one of you, no
Not one of you has got an ounce of style in ya, no
Said not one of you, no
Temptation Greets You Like Your Naughty Friend lyrics - arctic monkeys
I don't ever want to hate you,
So don't show me your bed,
The only roads are cul-de-sacs,
The first thing that she said.
Temptation, greets you like your naughty mate,
The one that used to get you in bother,
But one you could never bring yourself to hate.
And she said we've got that spark,
That only lights a fuse,
Helps you see in the dark,
But it's a sight you'll lose when,
The temptation greets you like your naughty friend.
I don't ever want to hate you,
So don't show me your bed,
The only roads are cul-de-sacs,
The only ends are dead.
Temptation greets you like your naughty mate,
One that made you steal and set things on fire,
But one you haven't seen of late.
And I said that kind of talk,
Only adds intrigue,
To the cauldron of thought,
It's already exceeding,
Temptation, the very thing that held her back.
I don't ever want to hate you,
So don't show me your bed,
The only roads are cul-de-sacs,
The only ends are dead.
I don't ever want to hate you,
It's not part of the plan,
So keep your charm where I can't see it,
And your hands where I can.
[Dizzee Rascal]
We used to be in tight me and my naughty friends,
Caused enticement ? in the air,
I mean day 'n' night,
We robbed, we stole, we loved to fight,
Smoking, drinking, joyriding,
Drugs, thugs, not law-abiding,
Reckless gangsters ? no direction,
No sign of correction,
But then i switched it off,
Changed my ways,
What the hell!
Like oh my days ,
But like my naughty friends,
They're not phased,
Can't believe that this music pays,
See no reason why we can't do,
All the things we've always done,
Still in my heart I know thats just what,
But its hard to fight the temptation son.
[Arctic Monkeys]
The panic will fall down around you,
If you don't do what I say.
I don't ever want to hate you,
So don't show me your bed,
The only roads are cul-de-sacs,
The only ends are dead.
I don't ever want to hate you,
It's not part of the plan,
So keep your charm where I can't see it,
And your hands where I can
So don't show me your bed,

The Bakery lyrics - arctic monkeys
I wish you would have smiled in the bakery
or sat on a tatty settee
At some mutual friend's gathering
And the more you keep on lookind the more it's hard to take
Love, we're in stalemate
To never meet it surely where we're bound there's one in every town
Just there to grind you down
I wish I would have seen yuo in the post office
Well maybe I did and I missed it
Too busy with a mind on clever rhymes
Why not the rounder's pitch or the canteen?
You're slacking love where have you been?
Just had to go and wait untill tonight
To give me the invite don't worry it's alright
I wish I would have seen you down in the arcade
sipping on a lemonade in the paper cup and fhewing on the straw
And I wish I'd seen you in the bakery
But if I'd seen you in the bakery
You probably wouldn't have seen me
or sat on a tatty settee
At some mutual friend's gathering
And the more you keep on lookind the more it's hard to take
Love, we're in stalemate
To never meet it surely where we're bound there's one in every town
Just there to grind you down
I wish I would have seen yuo in the post office
Well maybe I did and I missed it
Too busy with a mind on clever rhymes
Why not the rounder's pitch or the canteen?
You're slacking love where have you been?
Just had to go and wait untill tonight
To give me the invite don't worry it's alright
I wish I would have seen you down in the arcade
sipping on a lemonade in the paper cup and fhewing on the straw
And I wish I'd seen you in the bakery
But if I'd seen you in the bakery
You probably wouldn't have seen me
Too Much To Ask lyrics - arctic monkeys
The smiles she walked in her room
Have all turned into frowns am I too quick to assume
That love is no longer in bloom?
The tantrums and the tears play a very different tune
To what they did before
Her heads red raw
And the happy doesn't sound like they're happiest around
When you sobbed before it felt much more
like a product of a squabble now there's reason for it to be more
And no would be oh it's uncertain whether the curtain has
Shut for good she
Says "See if it's still raining i'm not dressed for it
And if you love me"
Well I interrupt to receive the scowl and stare
But still decided to stop her there
Would it be outrageous to say:
We're either shouting or we're shagging?
locked in tempestuous phase
At least it how we felt yesterday
The eyes are getting heavier and whether you're asleep or awake
It's a mystery
Would a kiss be too much to ask
When you fits me as Sunday's frozen pitch fits the thermos flask
It's a pity
It's just hit me we can't go back to the chest touching on the ground
Have all turned into frowns am I too quick to assume
That love is no longer in bloom?
The tantrums and the tears play a very different tune
To what they did before
Her heads red raw
And the happy doesn't sound like they're happiest around
When you sobbed before it felt much more
like a product of a squabble now there's reason for it to be more
And no would be oh it's uncertain whether the curtain has
Shut for good she
Says "See if it's still raining i'm not dressed for it
And if you love me"
Well I interrupt to receive the scowl and stare
But still decided to stop her there
Would it be outrageous to say:
We're either shouting or we're shagging?
locked in tempestuous phase
At least it how we felt yesterday
The eyes are getting heavier and whether you're asleep or awake
It's a mystery
Would a kiss be too much to ask
When you fits me as Sunday's frozen pitch fits the thermos flask
It's a pity
It's just hit me we can't go back to the chest touching on the ground
What If You Were Right The First Time? lyrics - arctic monkeys
The mixture between,
The fantastic dream,
And the fear,
You wonder where she is,
This afternoon.
And does it get on your nerves,
Make you slightly perturbed,
That there's things that you don't know about her?
And even the places that she's never been with yer,
seem awful empty without her.
You can't look into those eyes,
Down no telephone line,
What if you were right first time? [x2]
The mixture between,
The fantastic dream,
And the fear,
You wonder where she is,
This afternoon.
You can't look into those eyes,
Down no telephone line,
What if you were right first time?
The fantastic dream,
And the fear,
You wonder where she is,
This afternoon.
And does it get on your nerves,
Make you slightly perturbed,
That there's things that you don't know about her?
And even the places that she's never been with yer,
seem awful empty without her.
You can't look into those eyes,
Down no telephone line,
What if you were right first time? [x2]
The mixture between,
The fantastic dream,
And the fear,
You wonder where she is,
This afternoon.
You can't look into those eyes,
Down no telephone line,
What if you were right first time?
