I listen to this song and i think 'Why isn't this on the album?????? Then I listen to other b-sides, and then i listen to the album again... CONCLUSION: Arctic Monkeys' albums should have at least 20 songs each ;)
the lyrics are wrong, the real ones are much better! For example it's "i am a true truth truant" i think. I think this song is one of their best for lyrics but humbug and everything since they're had since then have had brilliant ones.
I think this song is about a chaotic relationship with a adult entertainer/prostitute which might be a metaphor for a slave to modern living as the boy/singer waits for her..... It could be that or maybe i just put my situation into it too much....
how have I only just heard this!!!! what a tune, their b-sides have some proper gems! cant wait to see again!!!! im predicting a glasto headline 2011.
@ryan2009cov I don't think even Alex knows that to be quite honest. Songs don't have to be about anything, which is why artists are not so keen to say what they are about.
@Scoob505 well, I disagree with you on that. I admit it, lyrics don't have to make sense to everyone that listens to them. But I'm sure songwriters have certain feelings, situations, stories or persons in mind that they associate with their lyrics. Of course, it doesn't have to mean the same to you or me. But I'm sure it has a special meaning to them, as stupid or simple the "inspiration" behind it might be.
when I look back, a can't belive they made songs like "I bet that you look good on the dancefloor", the old songs are awesome, but are childish compared to songs like this one...
Its similar to Brianstorm and Catapult! Alex always seems to portay this male dominant character that he dislikes, the cocky about town lad, good looking, fashionable ect... maybe Alex wants to become more like this or he hates this! But alex is sarcastic bastard so he HATES ITT!
@only1joe4life ita About the same guy as catapult. from the lyrics i can see that Alex knows this person, that they eat together or take something together ( drugs ? cigarettes ) In the endish part of the song Alex describes a moment where he had passed out and the guy shat on his face.
They make like entire records worth of good music that never gets put on anything but B SIDES!!!
They could have like 3 more incredible records!! You can just see how much they absolutely LOVE making music or they wouldnt reward their fans with sooooo many b sides
catapult would have been one of the 2 best songs of humbug and this song could have cracked the top 5. sketchead is a perfect b-side in the fact that it wouldn't have worked well on the album, and is generally an underdeveloped song. hmph.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
This song is pretty good, catapult is way better though, in my opinion i would rather have the bsides on the album instead of the shit tracks on humbug
