1.The View From The Afternoon
Anticipation has a habit to set you up
For disappointment in evening entertainment but
Tonight there'll be some love
Tonight there'll be a ruckus yeah
Regardless of what's gone before
I want to see all of the things that we've already seen
Lairy girls hung out the window of the limousine
Of Course it's fancy dress
And they're all looking quite full on in bunny ears and devil
horns and hats
Anticipation has a habit to set you up
For disappointment in evening entertainment but
Tonight there'll be some love
Tonight there'll be a ruckus yeah
Regardless of what's gone before
I want to see all of the things that we've already seen
I want to see you take the jackpot out the fruit machine
And put it all back in
You've got to understand that you can never beat the band it no
And she won't be surprised, no she won't be shocked
When she pressed the star after shes pressed unlock
And theres verse and chapters sat in her inbox
And all that is says is that you've drank a lot
And you should bear that in mind tonight,

2.I Bet You Look Good On The Dancefloor
Stop making the eyes at me,
I'll stop making the eyes at you
And what it is that surprises me,
is that I don't really want you too
And your shoulders are frozen (cold as the night)
Over you're an explosion (your dynamite)
Your name isn't Rio, but I don't care for sand
Lighting the fuse might result in a bang, with a bang-go!
I bet that you look good on the dancefloor
I don't know if your looking for romance or...
I don't know what ya looking for
Well I bet that you look good on the dancefloor
Dancing to electro-pop like a robot from 1984
From 1984!
I wish you'd stop ignoring me,
because you're sending me to despair
Without a sound yeh your calling me,
and I don't think it's very fair
That your shoulders are frozen (cold as the night)
Oh your an explosion (your dynamite)
Your name isn't Rio, but I don't care for sand
Lighting the fuse might result in a bang,
with a bang-ba-ba-bang-go!
I bet you look good on the dancefloor
I don't know if your looking for romance or...
I don't know what ya looking for
Well I bet that you look good on the dancefloor
Dancing to electro-pop like a robot from 1984
From 1984!
Oh there ain't no love no, Montagues or Capulets
We just banging tunes in DJ sets and...
Dirty dancefloors and dreams of naughtyness!
Well I bet that you look good on the dancefloor
I don't know if your looking for romance or...
I don't know what ya looking for
I said I bet you look good on the dancefloor
Dancing to electro-pop like a robot from 1984
From 1984!
3.Fake Tales Of San Francisco
Fake Tales of San Francisco
Echo through the room
More point to a wedding disco
Without a bride or groom
There's a super cool band yeah
With their trilbys and their glasses of white wine
And all the weekend rockstars in the toilets
Practicing their lines
I don't want to hear you
(Kick me out, kick me out)
I don't want to hear, you know
(Kick me out, kick me out)
I don't want to hear you
(Kick me out, kick me out)
I don't want to hear you
I don't want to hear your...
Fake Tales of San Fransisco
Echo through the air
And there's a few bored faces in the back
All wishing they weren't there
And as the microphone squeaks
A young girl's telephone beeps
Yeah she's dashing for the exit
And she's running to the streets outside
'Oh you've saved me,' she screams down the line
'The band were fucking wank'
And I'm not having a nice time'
I don't want to hear you
(Kick me out, kick me out)
I don't want to hear, you know
(Kick me out, kick me out)
Yeah but his bird thinks it's amazing, though
So all that's left
Is the proof that love's not only blind but deaf
He talks of San Francisco, he's from Hunter's Bar
I don't quite know the distance
But I'm sure that's far
Yeah I'm sure that's pretty far
And yeah, I'd love to tell you all my problem
You're not from New York City, you're from Rotherham
So get off the bandwagon, and put down the handbook
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Get off the bandwagon and put down the handbook
Get off the bandwagon and put down the handbook
Get off the bandwagon and put down the handbook
Get off the bandwagon and put down the handbook
Yeah
4.Dancing Shoes
Get on your dancing shoes
There's one thing on your mind
Hopeing they're looking for you
Sure you'll be rummagin' through
Oh and the shit, shock, horror
You've seen your future bride
Oh, but it's oh so absurd
For you to say the first word
So you're waitin'n'waitin'n...
The only reason that you came
So what ya scared for？
Oh don't you always do the same
It's what ya there for, don't ya know..
The lights are flashing
Down in here tonight
And so'm I exchange a glance
But keep pretending to dance
Don't act like it's not happening
As if its impolite
To go and mention your name
Instead you'll just do the same
As they all do, and hope for the best...
The only reason that you came
So what ya scared for？
Well don't ya always do the same
It's what ya there for, oooo yaaa!!
Get on your dancing shoes
You sexy little swine
Oh, been there looking for you

Oh and the shit, shock, horror
You've seen your future bride
Oh, but it's oh so absurd
For you to say the first word
So you're waitin'n'waaaaaaaaaohhh...!
5.You Probably Couldn't See For The Lights But You Were Staring
Straight At Me
album：Whatever People Say I Am, That's What I'm Not
editor：lonelyleaf
song：You Probably Couldn't See For The Lights But You Were
Staring Straight At Me
singer：Arctic Monkeys
One look sends it coursing through the veins, oh how the feeling
races
Back up to their brains to form expressions on their stupid
faces
They don't want to say hello, but I can't want to say hello
My heartbeat's at its peak, when you're coming up to speak
Well I'm so tense and never tenser
Well I'll go a bit Frank Spencer
And I'm talking gibberish
Tip of the tongue but I can't deliver it...
Properly
Oh, it's all getting on top of me
And if it weren't this dark
You'd see how red my face has gone, yeah
Everybody's trying to crack the jokes and that to make you smile
Those that claim that they're not showing off are drowning in
denial
But they're not half as bad as me, say anything and I'll agree
Cause when it comes to acting up, I'm sure I could write a book
And now that you're more than a part in the play
It's slightly easier to think what to say
You had us all standing on our heads
Doing our best tricks, yeah
Never again
Never again
Will there be another one quite as desirable as you？
One look sends it coursing through the veins, oh how the feeling
races
Back up to their brains to form expressions on their stupid
faces
6.Still Take You Home
Whatever People Say I Am, That's What I'm Not
editor：lonelyleaf
Oh, well spending all your money on trendy hair cuts that you
recon are cool,
And just you're probably alright
But under these lights you look beautiful
And I'm struggling
I can't see through your fake tan
Oh ya know it for a fact
That everybody's eating outta your hand
What do you know？
Oh you know nothing!
Yeah but I'll still take you home
Yeah, I'll still take you home
What do you know？
Said you don't know nothing!
Fancy seeing you in here
You're all tarted up, and you don't look the same
I haven't seen you since last year
Yeah and surprisingly you hadn't forgotten my name
But you know it
Yeah you knew it all along
Oh you say you have forgotten
But you're fibbin', oh don't tell me I'm wrong
What do you know？
Oh you know nothing!
Yeah but I'll still take you home
Yeah, I'll still take you home
What do you know？
Oh you don't know nothing, no!
Woaah...
Dadaadada ..
Yeah, so what do you know？
Oh you know nothing, no!
Yeah but I'll still take you home
Yeah, I'll still take you home
I said what do you know？
Oh you know nothing, no!
Fancy you with a passion
You're a Topshop princess, a rockstar too
You're a fad, you're a fashion and I？？ having a job trying to
talk to you
But it's alright, put it all on one-side
And everybody's looking
You got control of everyone's eyes
Including mine
7.Riot Van
up rolls a riot van,
and sparks excitement in the boys,
but the policemen look annoyed,
perhaps these are ones they should avoid
we got a chase last night,
from men with truncheons dressed in hats,
we didn't do that much wrong,
still ran away though for the laugh,
just for the laugh
and please just stop talking,
'cause they won't find us if you do,
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 s'posed to be？
'cause nobody told me,
and up rolls the riot van,
and these lads just wind the coppers up,
they ask why the don't catch proper crooks,
they get their address and their names took,
but they couldn't care less
thrown in the riot van,
and all the coppers kicked him in,
and there was no way he could win,
just had to take it on the chin
8.Red Light Indicates Doors Are Secured
Ask if we can have six in
If not we'll have to have two
You're coming up our end aren't you
So I'll get one with you
Won't he let us have six in
Especially not with the food
He could have just told us no though
He didn't have to be rude
See her with the green dress
She talked to me at the bar
How come it's already two pound fifty？
We've only gone about a yard
Couldn't you see she were gorgeous
She were beyond belief
But this lad at the side drinking his Smirnoff Ice
Came and paid for her tropical reef
Sitting going backwards
And I didn't want to leave
I said hit Shire Green mate
Via Hillsborough please
Well how funny were that sketch earlier
Up at that taxi rank
Oh no you woulda missed it,
I think it were when you went to the bank
These two lads squaring up proper shouting
About who was next in the queue
The kind of thing that would seem so silly
But not when they've both had a few
Well calm down, temper, temper
You shouldn't get so annoyed
You're acting like a silly little boy
And they wanted to be men
And do some fighting in the street
(They said) No surrender! No Chance of Retreat
So hiding in the taxi
Cause I didn't wanna leave
I said hit Shire Green mate
Via Hillsborough please
Drunken plots hatched to jump it,
ask around are you sure？
Went for it but the red light was showing
And the red light indicates doors are secured
9.Mardy Bum
Now then Mardy Bum
I see your frown
And it's like looking down the barrel of a gun
And it goes off
And out come all these words
Oh there's a very pleasant side to you
A side I much prefer
It's one that laughs and jokes around
Remember cuddles in the kitchen
Yeah, to get things off the ground
And it was up, up and away
Oh, but it's right hard to remember
That on a day like today
when you're all argumentative
And you've got the face on
Well now then Mardy Bum
Oh I'm in trouble again, aren't I
I thought as much
Cause you turned over there
Pulling that silent disappointment face
The one that I can't bear
Can't we laugh and joke around
Remember cuddles in the kitchen
Yeah, to get things off the ground
And it was up, up and away
Oh, but it's right hard to remember
That on a day like today
when you're all argumentative
And you've got the face on
Yeah I'm sorry I was late
Well I missed the train
And then the traffic was a state
And I can't be arsed to carry on in this debate
That reoccurs ,oh when you say I don't care
Well of course I do, yeah I clearly do!
So laugh and joke around
Remember cuddles in the kitchen
Yeah, to get things off the ground
And it was up, up and away
Oh but it's right hard to remember
That on a day like today
when you're all argumentative
And you've got the face on
10.Perhaps Vampires Is A Bit Strong But...
Well I've seen your eyes as they FIX on me
What is he doing？ What on earth's the plan？
Has he got one？
You'd better give me some pointers
Since you are the big rocket launcher
and I'm just the shotgun
Well I ain't got no dollar signs in my eyes
That might be a surprise but it's true
That I'm not like you and I don't want your advice
Or your praise or to move in the ways you do
And I never will
Cause all you people are vampires
And all your stories are stale
And though you pretend to stand by us
I know you're certain we'll fail
Well I've seen your eyes as they FIX on me
Full of confusion
Your snarl is just so condescending
Try to explain that we're onto a win
If THE FEE WE GET IN
Near recoups what we're spending
He says, I can't believe that you drove all that way
Well how much did they pay ya？
How much did they pay ya？
You'd've been better to stay round our way
Thinking 'bout things but not actually doing THE THINGS
Cause all you people are vampires
And all your stories are stale
And though you pretend to stand by us
I know you're certain we'll fail
Cause all you people are vampires
And all your stories are stale
And though you pretend to stand by us
I know you're certain we'll fail
All you people are vampires
11.When The Sun Goes Down
I said, who's that girl there？
I wonder what went wrong
So that she had to roam the streets
She doesn't do major credit cards
I doubt she does receipts
It's all not quite legitimate
And what a scummy man
Just give him half a chance
I bet he'll rob you if he can
Can see it in his eyes, yeah
That he's got a driving ban
Amongst some other offences
And i've seen him with girls of the night
And he told Roxanne to put on her red light
They're all infected but he'll be alright
Cause he's a scumbag, don't you know？
I said he's a scumbag, don't you know!？
Although you're trying not to listen
Avert your eyes and staring at the ground
She makes a subtle proposition
I'm sorry love, i'll have to turn you down
And oh, he must be up to summat
What are the chances？ Sure it's more than likely
I've got a feeling in my stomach
You start to wonder what his story might be
What his story might be, yeah!
Cause they said it changes when the sun goes down
Yeah, they said it changes when the sun goes down
And they said it changes
when the sun goes down around here
Around here
Look, here comes a Ford Mondeo
Isn't he Mr. Inconspicuous
And he doesn't even have to say owt
She's in the stance ready to get picked up
Bet she's delighted when she sees him
Pulling in and giving her the eye
Because she must be fucking freezing
Scantily clad beneath the clear night sky
It doesn't stop in the winter, no!
And they said it changes when the sun goes down
Yeah, they said it changes when the sun goes down
And they said it changes
when the sun goes down around here
Well they said it changes when the sun goes down
Over the river goin' out of town
They said it changes when the sun goes down
Around here and around here
And what a scummy man
Just give him half a chance
I bet he'll rob you if he can
Can see it in his eyes, yeah
That he's got a nasty plan
I hope your not involved at all
12.From The Ritz To The Rubble
Last night these two bouncers
And one of em's alright
The other one's the scary one
His way or no way, totalatarian
He's got no time for you
Looking or breathing
And he don't want you to
So step out the queue
He makes examples of you
And there's nowt you can say
Behind they go through to the bit where you pay
And you realise then that it's finally the time
To walk back past ten thousand eyes in a line
And you can swap jumpers and make another move
Instilled in your brain you've got something to prove
To all the smirking faces and the boys in black
Why can't they be pleasant？
Why can't they have a laugh？
He's got his hand in your chest
He wants to give you a duff
Well secrectly I think they want it all to kick off
They want, arms flying everywhere and
Bottles as well it's just
Something to talk about
A story to tell you
Well I'm so glad they turned us all away
we'll put it down to fate
I thought a thousand million things
that I could never say this morning
Got too deep, but how deep is too deep？
This town's a different town today
This town's a different town to what it was last night
You couldn't have done that on a Sunday
That girl's a different girl today
Said that girl's a different girl to her
you kissed last night
You couldn't have done that on a Sunday
Of course not
Well I'm so glad they turned us all away
we'll put it down to fate
I thought a thousand million things
that I could never say this morning
Got too deep, but how deep is too deep？
Last night what we talked about
It made so much sense
But now the haze has ascended
It don't make no sense anymore
Last night what we talked about
It made so much sense
But now the haze has ascended
It don't make no sense anymore
Ahh~
13.A Certain Romance
Well oh they might wear classic Reeboks
Or knackered Converse
Or tracky bottoms tucked in socks
But all of that's what the point is not
The point's that there ain't no romance around there
And there's the truth that they can't see
They'd probably like to throw a punch at me
And if you could only see them, then you would agree
Agree that there ain't no romance around there
You know, oh it's a funny thing you know
We'll tell 'em if you like
We'll tell 'em all tonight
They'll never listen
Cause their minds are made up
And course it's all okay to carry on that way
And over there there's broken bones
There's only music, so that there's new ringtones
And it don't take no Sherlock Holmes
To see it's a little different around here
Don't get me wrong, oh there's boys in bands
And kids who like to scrap with pool cues in their hands
And just cause he's had a coupla cans
He thinks it's alright to act like a dickhead
Don't you know, oh it's a funny thing you know
We'll tell em if you like
We'll tell em all tonight
They'll never listen
Cause their minds are made up
And course it's all okay to carry on that way
But I said no
Oh no!
Well you won't get me to go!
Anywhere, Not anywhere
No I won't go
Oh no no!
Well over there there's friends of mine
What can I say, I've known 'em for a long long time
And yeah they might overstep the line
But you just cannot get angry in the same way
No not in the same way
Said not in the same way
Oh no, oh no no
