@hellocasey188 he says something along the lines of "Do you want me to carry on to the second number or.." then everyone applauds. I think he felt awkward because nobody applauded for ages
@danielbartolo02 Then they reel in the cash and their label and mtv want another and then they become mainstream and aren't the same. It could happen.

This tune totally accompanies, "I shot the Sheriff" by Bob Marley/E. Clampton, yeah??? Like, there was a riot before the sheriff was shot and the kids in the riot van... the copper.
I was just at the Chicago show last week. I was kind of pissed that most of the show was the depressing/slow Humbug stuff, but what did I expect? Still worth the experience and money.
does somebody know what disc this acoustic version belongs to? I've heard a similar version of mardy bum...is there more songs like this two? THANKS!!

why would that piss someone off? are you stupid or something? maybe that's because the song is good and it makes people sing, so they write the lyrics in the comment? damn
oh ploease stop talkin' cus they wont find us if you do... oh those silly boys in blue, no they wont catch me and you...(8) Lucky Man Alex, great Girlfriend, great lyrics, great songs, breat voice, great appearance (haha im straight and id bum him hahahaha) and the greatest band....
Wait, did you really meet him and he said that? He was probably just taken aback and/or thought you were exagerrating. I doubt he meant anything bad by it. It just probably seemed like too huge a compliment to be true.
i will never understand what he meant by it, but who knows what will pop out of your mouth when you meet someone you never ever thought you would meet. and he and miles, cuz we met tlsp before a concert, were sooooooooooo cool as they signed autographs and took pictures with all of us. i, i, i , we all couldnt believe it, it was surreal, so yeah, maybe he doesnt know how to react but c'mon, he has to know he's amazing right?? miles was very friendly and he smelled so good!
I can't believe how many times i've listened to this. Every lyric is delivered perfectly and the sound of his voice is just.. there are no words for it basically, undescribable
and i can't believe this is the first time i have commented.
A perfect example of the greatness of These Monkeys. Alex Turner is masterful. i'd like to see a collaboration between he and the band, and Paul Weller. I Wonder if Mr. Weller digs their songs?
my gawd, they are so amazing. that song is haunting really. beautiful. for all of us who've ran away from cops just to have a laugh and some good times
My favorite song of them
