I just decided to make a fanvid with some of the pictures I have of Alex Turner. The Lovers is a cover of Rod McKuen. The second guitarist is John, his soundman.

Lyrics:

Up from the pastures of boredom
Out from the sea of discontent
They come in packs like hungry hounds
Up the seekers of the dark enchantments

They hold the boulevards in bars
They pray to wishing wells and stars
They ride the hurricane of hope
Not looking back but on they go
Towards the distance and deceiving
And all the while they keep believing
They are special and apart

Lovers
Lovers of the heart
Lovers

And when they pair off two by two
They feel they are the chosen few
And though their beds are made of straw
It feels like velvet in the night
And so the night is never-ending
So made of distance and pretending
Because they're special and apart

Lovers
Lovers of the heart
Lovers

And when love goes away
And when love goes

Goodbye
Catches in their throats like cotton
Rises in their hearts like rain
The times
Suddenly are all forgotten

The hunt
Begins
Again

They search the subways and the streets
Their faces tired like their feet
Their bodies aching to be warm
And so they hide behind the moon
Loneliness inside them growing
And they take comfort in just knowing
That they are special and apart

Lovers
Lovers of the heart
Lovers

And when love comes again
And when love comes

Hello
Rises from their throats like singing
And catches in their hearts like wind
The good things
Strangers in their arms are bringing
Makes life
Alright
Again

They turn their faces to the light
No longer hiding in the night
So unashamed and unafraid
That they can face each other's faults
And though the waltz will have its ending
There's no harm in just pretending
That they are special and apart

Lovers
Lovers of the heart
Lovers
