Lyrics Arctic Monkeys

Arctic Monkeys

Knee Socks

You got the lights on in the afternoon

And the nights are drawn out long

And you’re kissing to cut through the gloom

With a cough drop coloured tongue

You were sitting in the corner with the coats all piled high

In a small world on an exceptionally rainy Tuesday night

In the right place and time

When the zeros line up on the 24 hour clock

When you know who’s calling even though the number is blocked

When you walked around your house wearing my sky blue Lacoste

And your knee socks

Well you cured my January blues, yeah you made it all alright

I got a feeling I might’ve lit the very fuse that you were trying not to light

You were a stranger in my phonebook I was acting like I knew

Cause I had nothing to lose

When the Winter’s in full swing and your dreams just aren’t coming true

Ain’t it funny what you’ll do?

When the zeros line up on the 24 hour clock

When you know who’s calling even though the number is blocked

When you walked around your house wearing my sky blue Lacoste

And your knee socks

In late afternoon, the ghost in your room

That you always thought didn’t approve of you knocking boots

Never stopped you letting me get hold of the sweet spot

By the scruff of your knee socks

You and me could’ve been a team

Each had a half of a king-and-queen seat

Like the beginning of Mean Streets you could Be My Baby

(The zeros lined up but the number’s blocked)

(When you’ve come undone)

When the zeros line up on the 24 hour clock

When you know who’s calling even though the number is blocked

When you walked around your house wearing my sky blue Lacoste

And your knee socks
