Bigger Boys & Stolen Sweethearts
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 no
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 your bird
And he'd probably kick your head in
Bigger Boys and Stolen Sweethearts
You're better off without her anyway
You said you wasn't sad to see her go
Yeah but I know you were though
Bet you don't know what she's upto
You can only assume
She's not on't front of the shops then
They've gone to his room
Bet she's gone round in her school stuff
I Bet that's what he likes
I bet you thought she was different
And you thought she was 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 clear you were though
Have you heard what she's been doing?
Never did it for me
He picks her up at the school gate
At twenty past three
She's been with all 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 but I'm sure that they still carry on in similar ways
Bigger Boys and Stolen Sweethearts
So, I'm better off without her anyway
I said I wasn't sad to see her go
But I'm only pretending, you know
Yeah, I'm only pretending, you know
Yeah, I'm only pretending, you know
Oh, I'm only pretending, you know
Chun-Li's Spinning Bird Kick

Stickin' To The Floor
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
No one of you has got an ounce of style in ya
Said not one of you, no
Fuck it all and break your nose
If they keep on pushing you around
Keep on stepping on your toes
Pick you up when you fall down
No one of you has got an ounce of style in ya
Said not one of you, no
No one of you has got an ounce of style in ya, no
Said not one of you, no
7
Well I wrote my number down
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 bearing 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
Settle For A Draw
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?
No Buses
Lady, where has your love gone?
I was looking but can't find it anywhere
They always offer when there's loads of love around
But, when you're short of some, it's nowhere to be found
Well, I know your game, you told him yesterday
No chance, you'll get nothin' from me
But now she's there, you're there, everybody's there
He's in turmoil, as puzzled as can be
Just like me
Let's go down, down, low down
Where I know I should not go
Oh and she thinks she's the one
But she's just one in 24
And just 'cause everybody's doin' it
Does that mean that I can, too?
Lady, where has your love gone?
It was the anti-septic to the sore
To hold you by the hand
Must be first, be in demand
How he longs for you to long for him once more
Just once more
Let's go down, down, low down
Where I know I should not go
Oh and she thinks she's the one
But she's just one in 24
And just 'cause everybody's doin' it
Does that mean that I can, too? Oh...
Her eyes went down and cut you up
And there's nothing like a dirty look from
The one you want, or the one you've lost
An ache in your soul is everybody's goal
To get what they can't have
That's why you're after her
And that's why she's after him
But sayin' it wont change a thing
And they'll realise that it wont change a thing
Realise that it wont change a thing
Who The Fuck Are Arctic Monkeys?
We all want someone to shout for
Yeah, everyone wants somebody to adore
But your heroes aren't what they seem
When you've been where we've been
Have I done something to trigger
The funny looks and the sniggers?
Are they there at all, or is it just paranoia?
Everybody's got their box
Doing what they're told
You pushed my faith near being lost
But we'll stick to the guns
Don't care if it's marketing suicidal
Won't crack or compromise
Your derisory divides
Will never unhinge us
And there's a couple of hundred
Think they're Christopher Columbus
But the settlers had already settled
Yeah, long before ya
Just cos we're having a say-so
Not lining up to be playdoh
Oh, in five years time, will it be
"Who the fuck's Arctic Monkeys?"
'Cause everybody's got their box
Doing what they're told
You pushed my faith near being lost
But we'll stick to the guns
Don't care if it's marketing suicidal
Won't crack or compromise
Your do-rights or individes
Will never unhinge us
[Instrumental]
(La la la la la, la la)
(La la la la la, la la)
(La la la la la, la la)
All the thoughts that I just said
Will linger round and multiply in their head
Not that mad to start with
I'm not angry, I'm just disappointed
It's not you it's them that are wrong
Tell 'em to take out their tongues
Tell 'em to take out their tongues...
It's not you it's them that are wrong
Tell 'em to take out their tongues
Tell 'em to take out their tongues
And bring on the backlash!
It's not you it's them that are wrong
Tell him to take out his tongue
Tell him to take out his tongue
It's not you it's them that's the fake
I won't mess with your escape
Is this really your escape?
Cigarette Smoker Fiona
Sat at the side of the pool at one of your houses
With wet white trousers on
And worlds collide as the evening continues
The dignity fucks off
Her brother's gone off to the strippers
To make up for all the lost time
She could have been one of the bitches
But she's actually alright
(Cigarette smoker)
I'm sorry, but we're all unsure
How much you've had but
(We think that you oughta) maybe not have any more
A country home, even if we really tried
What if it's just surprises now?
And I bet your dad would like to give us all a slap
When are your parents back? d'you know?
Well I never came from no ghetto
But it wasn't nowhere near here
Well-spoken girls in stilletoes
Aren't something to fear
(Cigarette smoker)
I'm sorry, but we're all unsure
How much you've had but
(We think that you oughta) maybe not have any more
[Instrumental]
(Cigarette smoker)
I'm sorry, but we're all unsure
How much you've had but
(We think that you oughta) maybe not have any more
(Cigarette smoker)
Cigarette smoke doesn't hide
As well as you think
And you'd think that it oughta
Act as the perfect disguise
Despair In The Departure Lounge
He's pining for her
In a people carrier
There might be buildings and pretty things to see like that
But architecture won't do
Although it might say a lot about the city or town
I don't care what they've got keep on turning them down
It don't say the funny things she does
Don't even try and cheer him up, because
It just won't happen
He's got the feeling again
This time on the aeroplane
There might be tellys in the back of the seats in front
But Rodney and Del won't do
Although it might take your mind off the aches and the pains
Laugh when he falls through the bar
But you're feeling the same
'Cause she isn't there to hold your hand
She won't be waiting for you when you land
It feels like she's just nowhere near
You could well be out on your ear
This thought comes closely followed by the fear
And the thought of it
Makes you feel a bit
Ill
Yesterday I saw a girl
Who looked like someone you might knock about with
And almost shouted
And then reality kicked in within us
It seems as we become the winners
You lose a bit of summat
And half wonder if you won it at all
And don't say 'owt 'cause you've got no idea
And she's still nowhere near
And the thought comes closely followed by the fear
And the thought of it
Makes you feel a bit
...Ill
Despair in the departure lounge
It's one and they'll still be around at three
No signal and low battery
What's happened to me
