Lyrics Arctic Monkeys

Arctic Monkeys

You Probably Couldn't See for the Lights but You Were Staring Straight at Me

One look sends it coursing through the veins

Oh how the feeling races

Back up to their brains

To form expressions on there stupid faces

They don't want to say hello

Like I want to say hello

Oh the heartbeats at it's peak when you're coming up to speak

And I'm so tense, never tenser

Could all go a bit Frank Spencer?

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

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

They're not half as bad as me

Say anything and I'll agree

When it comes to acting up,

I'm sure I could write the 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

Never again,

Never again, will there be another one that's 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 there stupid faces
