Do Me a Favour - Arctic Monkeys

Well, the mourning was complete

When there was tears on the steering wheel dripping on the seat

Several hours or several weeks

I'd have the cheek to say they're equally as bleak

It's the beginning of the end

The car went up the hill and disappeared around the bend

Ask anyone, they'll tell you that it's these times that it tends

To start to break in half, to start to fall apart, hold on to your heart

And do me a favour and break my nose

Or do me a favour and tell me to go away

Or do me a favour and stop asking questions

As she walked away, well, her shoes were untied

And the eyes were all red, you could see that we'd cried

And I watched and I waited till she was inside

Forcing a smile and waving goodbye

Curiosity becomes a heavy load

Too heavy to hold, too heavy to hold

Curiosity becomes a heavy load

Too heavy to hold, will force you to be cold

Do me a favour and ask if you need some help

She said, "Do me a favour and stop flattering yourself"

And to tear apart the ties that bind

Perhaps "fuck off" might be too kind

Perhaps "fuck off" might be too kind

Do I Wanna Know? - Arctic Monkeys

Have you got colour in your cheeks?

Do you ever get that fear that you can't shift the type

That sticks around like summat in your teeth?

Are there some aces up your sleeve?

Have you no idea that you're in deep?

I've dreamt about you nearly every night this week

How many secrets can you keep?

'Cause there's this tune I found

That makes me think of you somehow an' I play it on repeat

Until I fall asleep, spillin' drinks on my settee

(Do I wanna know?) If this feelin' flows both ways?

(Sad to see you go) Was sorta hopin' that you'd stay

(Baby, we both know) That the nights were mainly made

For sayin' things that you can't say tomorrow day

Crawlin' back to you

Ever thought of callin' when

You've had a few?

'Cause I always do

Maybe I'm too

Busy bein' yours to fall for somebody new

Now, I've thought it through

Crawlin' back to you

So have you got the guts?

Been wonderin' if your heart's still open

And if so, I wanna know what time it shuts

Simmer down an' pucker up, I'm sorry to interrupt

It's just I'm constantly on the cusp of tryin' to kiss you

But I don't know if you feel the same as I do

But we could be together, if you wanted to

(Do I wanna know?) If this feelin' flows both ways?

(Sad to see you go) Was sorta hopin' that you'd stay

(Baby, we both know) That the nights were mainly made

For sayin' things that you can't say tomorrow day

Crawlin' back to you (Crawlin' back to you)

Ever thought of callin' when

You've had a few? (You've had a few)

'Cause I always do ('Cause I always do)

Maybe I'm too (Maybe I'm too busy)

Busy bein' yours (Bein' yours)

To fall for somebody new

Now, I've thought it through

Crawlin' back to you

(Do I wanna know?) If this feelin' flows both ways?

(Sad to see you go) Was sorta hopin' that you'd stay

(Baby, we both know) That the nights were mainly made

For sayin' things that you can't say tomorrow day

(Do I wanna know?) Too busy bein' yours to fall

(Sad to see you go) Ever thought of callin', darlin'?

(Do I wanna know?) Do you want me crawlin' back to you?

Catapult - 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 go high pitched

He'll talk and make your 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 carve 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 tell you how 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

Incessantly pestering him to let him join the club

He knows how to put a cork in the fuss

And just how to shut up the charming ones of us

And I'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

Brianstorm - Arctic Monkeys

Brian

Top marks for not trying

So kind of you to bless us with your effortlessness

We're grateful and so strangely comforted

And I wonder

Are you putting us under

'Cause we can't take our eyes

Off the t-shirt and ties combination?

Well, see you later, innovator

Some want to kiss, some want to kick you

There's not a net you couldn't slip through

Or at least that's the impression I get

'Cause you're smooth, and you're wet

And she's not aware yet

But she's yours

She'll be saying, "Use me"

"Show me the jacuzzi"

I imagine that it's there on a plate

Your whole rendezvous rate

Means that you'll never be frightened

To make them wait for a while

I doubt it's your style

Not to get what you set

Out to acquire, the eyes are on fire

You are the unforecasted storm

Calm, collected and commanding

(Top marks for not trying)

You leave the other stories standing

With your renditions and jokes

Bet there's hundreds of blokes

That have wept 'cause you've stolen their

Thunder

Are you putting us under

'Cause we can't take our eyes

Off the t-shirt and ties combination?

Well, see you later, innovator

Arabella - Arctic Monkeys

Arabella's got some interstellar-gator skin boots

And a Helter Skelter 'round her little finger and I ride it endlessly

She's got a Barbarella silver swimsuit

And when she needs to shelter from reality

She takes a dip in my daydreams

My days end best when this sunset gets itself

Behind that little lady sitting on the passenger side

It's much less picturesque without her catching the light

The horizon tries but it's just not as kind on the eyes

As Arabella, oh

As Arabella

Just might have tapped into your mind and soul

You can't be sure

Arabella's got a seventies head

But she's a modern lover

It's an exploration, she's made of outer space

And her lips are like the galaxy's edge

And her kiss the color of a constellation falling into place

My days end best when this sunset gets itself

Behind that little lady sitting on the passenger side

It's much less picturesque without her catching the light

The horizon tries but it's just not as kind on the eyes

As Arabella, oh

As Arabella

Just might have tapped into your mind and soul

You can't be sure

That's magic in a cheetah print coat

Just a slip underneath it I hope

Asking if I can have one of those

Organic cigarettes that she smokes

Wraps her lips round the Mexican coke

Makes you wish that you were the bottle

Takes a sip of your soul and it sounds like

I just might have tapped into your mind and soul

You can't be sure

505 - Arctic Monkeys

I'm going back to 505

If it's a seven hour flight or a forty-five minute drive

In my imagination, you're waitin' lyin' on your side

With your hands between your thighs

Stop and wait a sec

When you look at me like that, my darlin', what did you expect?

I'd probably still adore you with your hands around my neck

Or I did last time I checked

Not shy of a spark

The knife twists at the thought that I should fall short of the mark

Frightened by the bite, though it's no harsher than the bark

The middle of adventure, such a perfect place to start

I'm going back to 505

If it's a seven hour flight or a forty-five minute drive

In my imagination, you're waitin' lyin' on your side

With your hands between your thighs

But I crumble completely when you cry

It seems like once again you've had to greet me with goodbye

I'm always just about to go and spoil the surprise

Take my hands off of your eyes too soon

I'm going back to 505

If it's a seven hour flight or a forty-five minute drive

In my imagination, you're waitin' lyin' on your side

With your hands between your thighs and a smile

Suck It and See - Arctic Monkeys

Your love is like a studded leather headlock

Your kiss it could put creases in the rain

You're rarer than a can of dandelion and burdock

And those other girls are just postmix lemonade

Suck it and see you never know

Sit next to me before I go

Jigsaw women with horror movie shoes

Be cruel to me cause I'm a fool for you

I poured my aching heart into a pop song

I couldn't get the hang of poetry

That's not a skirt girl that's a sawn off shotgun

And I can only hope you've got it aimed at me

Suck it and see you never know

Sit next to me before I go

Jigsaw women with horror movie shoes

Be cruel to me cause I'm a fool for you

Blue moon girls from once upon a Shangri-La

How I often wonder where you are

You have got that face that just says

"Baby, I was made to break your heart"

Suck it and see, you never know

Sit next to me before I go

Go, go, go

Jigsaw women with horror movie shoes

Be cruel to me cause I'm a fool for you
