Riot Van
by
Arctic Monkeys
//So up rolls a riot van
And sparks excitement in the boys//
//We didn't do that much wrong
Still ran away though for the laugh//
//Oh those silly boys in blue
Well they won't catch me and you//
//Have you been drinking son, you don't look old enough to me
I'm sorry officer, is there a certain age you're supposed to be, cause nobody told me// (favourite lyrics**)
//And there was no way he could win
Just had to take it on the chin//
Brass Monkey
by
The Beastie Boys
//Put your left leg down your right leg up
Tilt your head back let's finish the cup//
//This girl walked by she gave me the eye
I reached in the locker grabbed the Spanish Fly
I put it with the Monkey mixed it in the cup
Went over to the girl, "Yo baby, what's up?"//
//I offered her a sip (sip) the girl she gave me lip (lip)
It did begin the stuff wore in and now she's on my tip//
//We got the bottle, you got the cup
Come on everybody let's get fff//
Do Me a Favour
by
Arctic Monkeys
//Where 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//
//Ask anyone, they'll tell you that
It's these times that it tends
To start to breaking up, to start to fall apart
Hold on to your heart//
//And do me a favor, will you break my nose
And do me a favor, and tell me to go away
Oh, do me a favor, stop asking questions//
//When 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//
//Perhaps 'fuck off' might be too kind// (another good lyric**)
Brianstorm
by
Arctic Monkeys
//Top marks for not trying
So kind of you to bless us
With your effortlessness
We're grateful, so strangely comforted//
//Some want to kiss, some want to kick you
There's not a net you couldn't slip through//
//She'll be saying, use me
Show me the jacuzzi//
//Out to acquire the eyes are on fire
You are the unforecasted storm//
Eleanor Rigby
by
The Beatles
//Lives in a dream
Waits at the window, wearing the face
That she keeps in a jar by the door
Who is it for//
//All the lonely people
Where do they all come from?//
//Eleanor Rigby, died in the church
And was buried along with her name
Nobody came//
a/n: some very good newly discovered arctic monkeys songs// very good// i do recommend
