1.Standing Next To Me
Lyricist:Miles Kane, Alex Turner
You want to have her, two years have gone now
But I can't relate to the never ending games that you play
As desire passes through then you're open to the truth
I hope you understand
And your love is standing next to me, is standing next to me
The one you fell for makes it seem juvenile
And you laugh at yourself again and again
As you'll drink to the thoughts she'll remember you
Maybe tomorrow
Oh, and your love is standing next to me, is standing next to me
And your love is standing next to me, is standing next to me
Is standing next to me, is standing next to me
You want to have her, two years have gone now
But I can't relate to the never ending games that you play
As desire passes through then you're open to the truth
I hope you understand
And your love is standing next to me, is standing next to me
Is standing next to me, is standing next to me
2.The Age Of The Understatement
Lyricist:Miles Kane, Alex Turner
Decided to sneak off
Away from your stomach and try your pulse
You captured what seemed all unknowing and candid
But they suspected it was false
She's playful, the boring would warn you
Be careful of her brigade
In order to tame this relentless marauder
Move away from the parade
She was walking on the tables in the glasshouse
And verily bedraggled in the wind
Subtle in her method of seduction
Twenty little tragedies begin
And she would throw a feather boa in the road
If she thought that it would set the scene
Unfittingly dipped into your companions
Enlightened them to make you see
And there's affection to end
The age of the understatement
Before the attraction ferments
Kiss me properly and pull me apart
Affection to rent
The age of the understatement
Before this attraction ferments
Kiss me properly and pull me apart
And my fingers scratch at my hair
Before my mind can get too reckless
The idea of seeing you here
Is enough to make the sweat go cold
3.My Mistakes Were Made For You
Lyricist:Miles Kane, Alex Turner
About as subtle as an earthquake I know
My mistakes were made for you
And in the back room of a bad dream, she came
And whisked me away enthused
And it's solid as a rock rolling down a hill
The fact is that it probably will hit something
On the hazardous terrain
And we're just following the flock
Round and in between
Before we smash to smithereens
Like they were and we scrambled from the blame
And it's the fame that put words in her mouth
She couldn't help but spit them out
Innocence and arrogance entwined
In the filthiest of minds
She was bitten on her birthday
And now a face in the crowd she's not
And I suspected now forever the shape
She came to escape is forgot
And it's a lot to ask her not to sting
And give her less than everything
Around your crooked conscious she will wind
'Cuz we're just following the flock
Round and in between
Before we smash into smithereens
Like they were and we scrambled from the blame
And it's the fame that put words in her mouth
She couldn't help but spit them out
Around your crooked conscious she will wind
And it's a lot to ask her not to sting
And give her less than everything
Innocence and arrogance entwined
4.The Chamber
Lyricist:Miles Kane, Alex Turner
Leave yourself alone
Can't you see you're only here to be torn apart
Based upon a nothingness
So leave yourself alone, leave yourself alone
Tell your wasted time
That I am worse and I would waste it all
Given the chance I owe apologies
So tell your wasted time, tell your wasted time
It's torture locked inside the chamber
Cornered by yourself
Yourself you must admit that you are the instigator
Hanging onto arguments
You'll be cornered by yourself, cornered by yourself
It's torture locked inside the chamber
Lost inside the chamber, locked inside the chamber
5.Separate And Ever Deadly
Lyricist:Miles Kane, Alex Turner
When we walked the streets together
All the faces seemed to smile back
And now the pavements have nothing to offer
And all the faces seem to need a slap
There's an unfamiliar grip on an unfamiliar handkerchief
Attending to the tears on cheeks I wouldn't notice
With you no matter how vicious the grief
Her expression was damp and crooked
Grabs onto my throat and won't let go
Won't let go
Won't let go
Won't let go
Save me from the secateurs
I'll pretend I didn't hear
Can't you see I'm a ghost in the wrong coat
Biting butter and crumbs?
There's a handsome maverick
You don't talk about to keep me calm
And I can't help it if I create diversion
That pulls you back onto his arm
Please don't tell me, you don't have to, darling I can sense
That he painted you a gushing sunset
And slayed angry panthers in your defense
And he stands separate and ever deadly
Clings onto my throat and won't let go
Won't let go
Won't let go
Won't let go
Save me from the secateurs
I'll pretend I didn't hear
Can't you see I'm a ghost in the wrong coat
Biting butter and crumbs?
Save me from the secateurs
I'll pretend I didn't hear
Can't you see I'm a ghost in the wrong coat
Biting butter and crumbs?
6.Calm Like You
Lyricist:Miles Kane, Alex Turner
I can still remember when your city smelt exciting
I still get a whiff of that aroma now and then
Burglary and fireworks, the skies they were alighting
Accidents and toffee drops and thinking on the train
Oh, he was young, in the frost
No regard for the cost of saying his feelings
In the moments they were felt
And if he was calm like you
Locked up inside of your loops then he'd know full well
That all he had to say was, all he had to say was goodbye
Summertime made promises it knew it couldn't keep
The fairytale was climbing up a mountain far too steep
Coloring the pictures with your royal hands
Now I am craving heart break while you're making your demands
Oh, he was young, in the frost
No regard for the cost of saying his feelings
In the moments they were felt
And if he was calm like you
Locked up inside of your loops then he'd know full well
That all he had to say was, all he had to say was goodbye
If he was calm like you
Locked up inside of your loops then he'd know full well
That all he had to say was, all he had to say was goodbye
7.Meeting Place
Lyricist:Miles Kane, Alex Turner
The colder the night gets
The further she strains
And he doesn't like it
Being this way
And she tried so hard
To steer away
From the meeting place
But her heart had left her there
She clings to his consciousness
Wherever he laid
Struggles to sleep at night
And during the day
He's worried she's waiting in his dreams
To drag him back to the meeting place
His love had left in there
Where the voices still echoes
I'm sorry I met you darling
I'm sorry I met you
As she turned into the night
All he had was the words
I'm sorry I met you darling
I'm sorry I left you
Four weeks they had trolled around
Playing the fools
They knew the time would come
And time would be cruel
Because it is cruel to everyone
He is crying out from the meeting place
He stranded himself there
Where the voice still echo
I'm sorry I met you darling
I'm sorry I met you
As she turned into the night
All he had was the words
I'm sorry I met you darling
I'm sorry I left you
I'm sorry I met you darling
I'm sorry I've left you
8.Only The Truth
Lyricist:Miles Kane, Alex Turner
Only the truth she reckons she holds
Only the truth she reckons she holds
The way she walks is scripted and taught
Don't give her an eye or she'll sniper your mind
See by her hands that she's been there before
She lifts up her glass as if to bring down the mass
Only the truth she reckons she holds
Only the truth she reckons she holds
Climbing the stairs as if to follow her dress
Her golden laced boots may stop you right there
Hands on your arm as she greets all your friends
Then with a twist of lime it seems a bitter end
Only the truth she reckons she holds
Only the truth she reckons she holds
The girl with many different strategies
Wakes the wolves to curse them to their knees
She's in the one by the riverbank
So it's easier for her to drown you
And she claims, oh, she claims
It's only the truth she holds in her hands
This is only the truth she holds in her hands
9.Black Plant
Lyricist:Miles Kane, Alex Turner
You bit your lip
And on the tip of your tongue was your view
He hadn't dealt with how you felt
In ways that suited you
Got paper cuts
From the love letters you never gave him
Could not meet
Your new found needs for misbehaving
Why, why would you say sorry?
Oh, why would you?
Why would you say?
You said there was a nagging lack of smiles
When dancing on your back
Tenderness aplenty but that wasn't what you craved
There's holes in hearts
Desire starts to make demands
And dear boy, you'd be a fool
To make your plans with her
Why would you say sorry?
Oh, why would you?
Why would you say sorry?
Oh, why would you say sorry?
Oh, why would you?
When it's just one of many bullets you will bite
While waiting for a ray of light
Waiting for a ray of light
Waiting for a ray of light
Got paper cuts
From the love letters you never gave him
Could not meet
Your new found needs for misbehaving
Why, why would you say sorry?
Oh, why would you?
Why would you say sorry?
Oh, why would you say sorry?
Oh, why would you?
Why would you?
Why would you say sorry?
Why would you?
Why would you say sorry?
Why would you?
Why would you say sorry?
Why would you?
Why would you say sorry?
Why would you?
Why would you?
Why would you?
Why would you?
10.The Time Has Come Again
Lyricist:Miles Kane, Alex Turner
The time has come again
Slowly walking down the steps
To where she would have been
If only they were seventeen
Waiting patiently
And stood between a fraying seam
Hiding from himself
As well as everybody else
Without permission his face became wet
He thought he'd learnt how to not get upset
From folded notes in envelopes
Meet me beneath the moon, don't go too soon
She went too soon
The time has come again
And slowly walking down the steps
To where she would have been
If only they were seventeen
11.In My Room
Lyricist:Miles Kane, Alex Turner
In my room she'll get to you
In my room she'll get to you
In my room
Could I turn on the light?
Impress unknown eyes
Humor absorbs the thoughts
Challenge emotionless thoughts
Seeing things with a second glance
As she turns through her magazines
In my room she'll get to you
In my room she'll get to you
In my room
Could I turn on the light?
Impress unknown eyes
Humor absorbs the thoughts
Lift up your sorted heads
Played like dancing fools
Turning the tension round
Building up silent sounds
Just another day
Oh, in my room
Struck out like before
Oh, in my room, room
Room, room, room
12.I Don't Like You Any More
Lyricist:Miles Kane, Alex Turner
I don't like you anymore
You've fallen for the faux again
Enticed me for a second time today
Only for me to realize the same
I don't like you anymore
You're cracked and your face is changing
You're going down the old route
But I can't let you repeat it, repeat it again
The sound of your voice is piercing my patience
As it seeps on through the midnight corridors
Kindly keeping in your resent
Retire to the setting hate
Drying in an all familiar cast
Twitching as I fear it's far too late
'Cause I don't like you anymore
I don't like you anymore
I don't like you anymore
You're cracked and your face changing
You're going down the old route
But I can't let you repeat, repeat it again
The sound of your voice is piercing my patience
As it seeps on through the midnight corridors
And there's nothing but corners, there is no escape from these
Walked into your trap and breathed your disease
We're nauseous as if in the seas
And you smirk as you think that you tease
But your pout puts us about
And your final line can't be described as fine
Will never be described as fine
