Sketchead is coming to your party Hes walking up your drive and hes swinging all his keys around Sketchead, hes seen you with your top off He already knows your boyfriend, retain your introductions Sketchead, that cumbersome protagonist The pips in your quince, the eye behind the spy hole The itch you cant itch in your ear And the knock that shattered your packet of peppermints Sketchead, theres poison in his spit Hell compliment your tits and leave you to your wits Sketchead, convincingly insisting The tyres were bald when you gave him the car Sketchead, still coming to your party Still walking up your drive and still swinging all his keys around On his finger as a pendulum to unnerve And then theres you, youve changed I approached you like you were the same But soon it was apparent a new name was required New lips went and fired accomplishments at me While Im captivated by your magazine skin The tint on your lenses obscures to begin And you know full well That anyone who says that they dont prefer the sequel Will still be swinging on themselves tonight
Under constant correction, a fraud, a fraud Someones perception, trying not to bore Im a cold-hearted kidder, applaud, applaud If youre the highest bidder, Im yours You think we have pathetic sets And were not sure of the etiquette Although we know theyre pathetic sets And were not sure of the etiquette And if you found this, its probably too late Clinically cynical, hereditary hate If you found this, its probably too late Approaching the pinnacle, Im running out of mates If we concentrate on being off the cuff Not sure were ready, but probably rough Frightened that honesty isnt enough And its nothing on the early stuff
One, two, three, four, five, six, seven! Well, I wrote my number down I never wrote it down before Were gonna bring it over like something from a film But I didnt have the bottle at all Well, I were looking and you kept staring Your thoughts pairing up with mine And when youre so pretty and Im so shy You properly did give me the eye, though, Im sure you did Well, I went outside Couldnt say I tried and I felt regret Because you havent bashed me and dashed back in Cause the ship hasnt sailed yet But when I did I couldnt see your face I could see your mates but that wouldnt do Well, I dashed around, tried to find you But you were nowhere to be seen, oh no, no La-la-la, la-la-la, la, la-la-la-la La-la-la, la-la-la, la, la-la-la-la La-la-la, la-la-la, la, la-la-la-la La-la-la, la-la-la, la, la-la-la-la Well, she moved in ways that kept her there In our minds for days and weeks and months I was that amazed and there she stayed Surrounded by the What if?s and the Maybes
Outside the cafe by the cracker factory You were practicing a magic trick And my thoughts got rude As you talked and chewed On the last of your pick and mix Said Youre mistaken if your thinking that I havent been called cold before As you bit into your strawberry lace And then offered me your attention in the form of a gobstopper Is all you have left and it was going to waste [Your pastimes consisted of the strange And twisted and deranged And I love that little game you had called Crying Lightning And how you like to aggravate the ice-cream man on rainy afternoons The next time that I caught my own reflection It was on its way to meet you Thinking of excuses to postpone You never looked like yourself from the side But your profile could not hide The fact you knew I was approaching your throne With folded arms you occupy the bench like toothache Stood and puffed your chest out like you never lost a war And though I try so not to suffer the indignity of reaction There was no cracks to grasp or gaps to claw Your pastimes consisted of the strange And twisted and deranged And I hate that little game you had called Crying Lightning And how you like to aggravate the icky man on rainy afternoons Uninviting But not half as impossible as everyone assumes you are Crying Lightning Oh you were reading a book about some idiot and telling me about another I was so severely underwhelmed I thought I might never recover Straighten the rudder girl and sail me up stairs And go and find somebody who cares Well we might not be the perfect partners but tonight we make a pair Crying Lightning Crying Lightning Crying Lightning Crying Lightning Crying
He looks as if he hasnt slept His hair is purposely unkept In many doorways, people wept When you crafted your plan Shadows underneath the eyes And everywhere the bastard lies My lack of proof is your disguise You wont remember me Theres nothing really I can say But Sorry, mate and walk away I could be wrong on this, you play your game This world is full of most unkind And horrible is redefined I cant imagine that youd mind at all Youre lying again, your conscience isnt your friend And the only thing youre sobbing at is your imagination Lying again, your conscience isnt your friend And the only thing youre sobbing at is your imagination Is he really on the street? Desperation or deceit? And what hes wearing on his feet Wont solve our mystery And I am baffled by how you stand there, soaking it in And do you hide your identity where you hide your grin? Youd better hide your grin Shadows underneath the eyes And everywhere the bastard lies My lack of proof is your disguise You wont remember me Theres nothing really I can say But sorry, mate and walk away I could be wrong on this, you play your game This world is full of most unkind And horrible is redefined I cant imagine that youd mind at all Youre lying again, your conscience isnt your friend And the only thing youre sobbing at is your imagination Lying again, your conscience isnt your friend And the only thing youre sobbing at is your imagination

You cant look into those eyes Down no telephone line What if you were right first time?
That rock nroll, eh? That rocknroll, it just wont go away. It might hibernate from time to time, and sink back into the swamp. I think the cyclical nature of the universe in which it exists demands it adheres to some of its rules. But its always waiting there, just around the corner. Ready to make its way back through the sludge and smash through the glass ceiling, looking better than ever. Yeah, that rocknroll, it seems like its faded away sometimes, but it will never die. And theres nothing you can do about it. Thank you very much for this. I do truly appreciate it. Dont take that the wrong way. And er... Yeah. Invoice me for the microphone if you need to.

Up from the pastures of boredom Out from the sea of discontent They come in packs like hungry hounds Up seekers of the dark enchantment They haunt the boulevards and bars They pray to wishing wells and stars They ride the hurricane of hope Not looking back, but on they go Toward the distance and deceiving And all the while they keep believing They are special and apart The lovers, the lovers of the heart... the lovers And when they pair off two by two They feel they are the chosen few And though their beds are made of straw They feel like velvet in the night And so the night is never ending Its made of distance and pretending Coz theyre special and apart The lovers, the lovers of the heart... the lovers And when love goes away And when love goes... Goodbye... Catches in their throats like cotton Rises in their hearts like rain The good 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 Their loneliness inside them growing But they take comfort in just knowing That they are special and apart The lovers, the lovers of the heart... the lovers And when love comes again And when love comes Hello... Rises from their throats like singing Catches in their hearts like wind The good things Strangers in their arms are bringing Makes life all right again They turn their faces to the light No longer hiding in the night So unashamed and unafraid That they can face each others faults And though the waltz will have its ending There is no harm in just pretending That they are special and apart The lovers, the lovers of the heart... the lovers
3 more albums to go after this one! Here we go with #4: Nights out on the town and the comings and goings of love. This album is about that and only that. I mean...what else does a 20-something single male rock star have going on? Make no mistake about it, Alex Turner is a global rock star, with a rabid fan base on both sides of the pond. Now me? Im no rockstar, but the way i live my life isnt much different from Alex This album speaks to me. Its the story of the last 4 years of my life. The minute it dropped, i was hooked. It has SO MANY bangers and theyre all pretty much A-ha! moments when you break them down. I wrote a piece for Huffington post on AM in September and rather than regurgitating the same ideas in different words, i figured we could try something different for the #4 album post. The Huffington Post article is below and lets examine the words and see if things still ring true. Did emotions change from album release to year end? What else has been uncovered in these last 3 months, besides the fact that the Arctic Monkeys mightve been the biggest band on Rock Genius this year? The annotations are the meat and bones of this post. If youre a Monkeys fan, this post will be a fine ride for you. Enough babble, heres the track by track review: ___________________________________________________________________________________________Every now and then, a rock band takes the next step in their careers, going from a cult indie rock band into a massive global force. These types of moments stand out and when you take the time to examine the lyrical make-up of AM along with the music, its clear that THIS is the moment in the sun for Arctic Monkeys. The band has quickly established themselves as one of the biggest acts in the world, collaborating with Queens of the Stone Age frontman Josh Homme and mastering the pop song structure. But in AM, its THIS collection of love songs, laments and tales of a night out that will be remembered as the point where 27-year-old Alex Turner and the Arctic Monkeys ceased becoming just another band and became one of the biggest bands on the planet; with mass appeal that didnt come at the expense of the quality of their music. Au contraire Do I Wanna Know? - Frontman Alex Turner shows us his vulnerable side on the albums opening track. Well see throughout the album, how hes become quite the ladies man, but here he tries to win a girl over with a genuine love cry of Maybe Im too busy being yours to fall for somebody new Regardless of whether this works on her, it surely endears the listener to him as a lyricist right off the bat and were pulling for him in all of his ensuing escapades from here on out R U Mine? - It doesnt take long for you to come to the realization that this album is crazy good. In fact, on AMs 2nd track , Turner lets it all out with the quick lipped I go crazyyyy....cause here isnt where i wanna be! Its that genuine outpour of emotion and storytelling that weve seen before from the Arctic Monkeys...but this has a different energy behind it thats bigger and more emphatic than before One For The Road - The first voice we hear is Queens of the Stone Age frontman, Josh Hommes high pitched chorus One for the road...Ooh ooh! settling into the atmosphere of the track. Homme is a longtime supporter and collaborator of the Monkeys and his confident croons leave a lasting impression on the way the listener experiences AMArabella - Is there a better way to assert your badassedness than to sing a song about a Bondgirl-esque lover who wears a barbarella silver swimsuit? I cant get the image of Jane Fonda out of my head and Turners Arabella is as exotic as she is fierce I Want it All - Lets not lose site of the fact that this is an English band. After all, would an American long for his sweet rigmarole? I didnt think so. Turner does his best Josh Homme impression with a higher pitched voice than usual over a sick lead guitar No. 1 Party Anthem - The melancholy middle of the album shows Turners soft side. How despite his womanizing ways, he still needs to hear that one song, or the No. 1 Party Anthem to give him the confidence to seal the deal Mad Sounds - A tribute to the very songs that speak to us and help us get through the days and nights. If you read into it carefully, Mad Sounds is an intro to the very personal 2nd half of the album Fireside - No track on the record spoke to me quite like this one. Turner so accurately describes the feeling of uncertainty in a fleeting relationship....Perhaps one that just ended and youre nearing that point where youre ready to move on; everythings ALMOST behind you, or as Turner describes it: when your fuse is fireside. Then right at that moment, you second guess one last time and you realize how hard it is to come to terms with moving onWhyd You Only Call Me When Youe High? - The whimsical nature of hook-ups. Perfectly depicted in the video that starts in a smoky club with Do I Wanna Know? fading away in the background as the story begins to unfold: Snap Out of It - The confidence of an alpha male is his most distinguishing characteristic. The soul vibes that permeate throughout the album rear their head again with the zany bridge to the final chorus Under a spell youre hypnotized / Darling how could you be so blind Knee Socks - Perhaps the albums best song is tucked away just before it ends. Everything about this track is sexy...from the bass drum and simple guitar riff as it opens, to the imagery conjured up by a line like When you walked around your house wearing my sky blue Lacoste... And your knee socks. And were bouncing as the images in Alex and Josh Hommes head come together in a parting crescendo I Wanna Be Yours - A simple outro filled with clever references like Let me be your Ford Cortina, I will never rust And before you go googling, all the Ford Cortina ever did was rust, showing that Turner maintains his wit and sarcasm despite the emotional roller coasters he sings about on AM _____________ A post script on this piece and this album: I was proud to work on this record this year on our site. I was proud of all the work and time the Rock Genius users, editors and moderators put in collectively. We had soooo many conversations debating lyrics, layouts, tech issues with pages , but THIS to me was the essence of how Rock Genius brings more depth to music. There was one other album that truly fit this mold for me this year, which ill tell you about later this week, but AM was such an awesome experience. This is a killer band ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ To listen to any of the albums on our countdown, check out our Spotify playlist here Peep the archives of all of the albums reviewed up to this point #3 is due up tomorrow!

Sank into their calculations and snorted on a stench Of their arithmetic Look for the boy who was hanging his head low More trophies and ideas to follow their pretend With a scowl in his pocket and a smile on his face He followed with obedience and fell in the nettles Afterwards those spiky whispers said he brought his own rope And skipped the bits they loathed Didn’t scramble to find a dock leaf and capture back our hope To advice, his mind had closed He lost all of his foot holes And with a scowl in his pocket and a smile on his face He followed with obedience and fell in the nettles Fell in the nettles, fell in the nettles He was a toothpick and the garlic and the cinder upon the path Had failed to blunt or hinder the slow collapse And clinging to the door frame, he was trapped Off to a reminder of where he had been With a smile in his pocket and a scowl on his face There was nowhere to flee, so sat content in the nettles

Do the bad thing Take off your wedding ring Oh it won’t make it that much easier It might make it worse Oh the nights like a whirlwind somebodies girlfriend Talking to me, but it’s alright she’s saying that he’s not gonna Slap me or try to attack me, he’s not the jealous type And I only need to get half an excuse and I’m away But when there’s no excuses that’s much easier to say: I’ve been before And all these capers make us too good for her to ignore See she’s talking but i’m not entirely sure, ah Do the bad thing Aka off your wedding ring Oh it won’t make it that much easier It might make it worse Oh a sudden disheartener somebodies partner’s talking to me But i don’t know that is what she is Then she murmurs things to confirm that the tragedy is true And I knew how could she not, she could have anyone she wants And I’m struggling to think of an immediate response Like “I don’t min, it’d be a big mistake, for you to wait And have me waste your time, really love it’s fine” I said “really love it’s fine” And then the first time it occurred that there was something to destroy I knew before the invitation that there was this boy Oh but she carried on suggesting, I struggled to refuse She said its the red wine this time but that is no excuse

Alex Turner: I did find like the lyrics for it like not long ago like scribbled on like a piece of paper, it was quite funny Like find like the - Oh yea, like loads, yeah they were all sort of stuff about like cigarettes and stuff, I dont know but erm No no no, they were all, there were some stinkers in there Arguably there still is but erm They, erm, it was... cant remember, I can remember recording it like the first time we did it Well cause we did it with this guy Alan Smyth in Sheffield, that we did like a lot, like all his first sort of recordings with And there was this version of it, and then when we started like, we started this first record with Like when we were beginning to sort of proper make the record, We started with James Ford and this guy Mike Crossey, in Liverpool And we had like a week and wed been on tour and we play- we recorded like ten songs in a week or somet And we were like this is it! weve gon- done his album Yknow Fucking put it out tomorrow please, yesterday if you can And erm But everything was kinda recorded at like, did it on tape and played everything at like 300 miles an hour And it were like, it kinda, bit too like live or something I dont know And at that point, it was suggested to us that perhaps wed like try a different avenue so then we went back with this producer called Jim Abbiss And went to a studio in Lincoln And er, and sorta, yknow sorta, recording... But yknow going through the songs and like listening to the demos And sorta tryna, you know, pick the best bits about and whatever Cause everyone were kinda really into these demos of it So we sorta wanted to get a bit of that but kinda like a better recording of it It was weird cause when we were... recording that tune The video was already like on telly for it Like cause w- peopled be like watching TV int other room like ahh quick were on were on MTV or whatever Cause like the v- the version we did for the video Like we just made another recording like its just us playing like a TV studio or whatever and- Yeah that version of it was just like there and then So its weird like we were tryna cut this single in one room And it was like on telly in like the other room like us Erm, yeah, just use that But erm, but no we did it with, er, did it again, yeah did it there with Jamie like in, in Lincoln And then that became the... version But it all came from that like drum thing on the beginning, you know like the, I mean originally, that was like the What was like the first part of that song, was like that kinda drum thing I play like the lead on it yeah, and like this sorta cord thing, not really, I cant really, cant remember, what, when that happened or what even like, what practice room we were in at that time really but I remember Matt playing that thing round, cause I think I guess it was like some exercise or something hed like seen somewhere or like a version of it which hed like sped up or somet and he were like doing it as fast as he could and then Like a lot of them songs, like then, used to come from something like that hed play He almosts like plays, like riffs on drums sometimes or whatever, or plays like leads or somet so Its like more fun than ever to play it now Like I think I probably fell out with it for a, for a moment like somewhere along the way But I kinda Yeah I fell out with eve- I fall out with all of them at some point, but thats definitely one that like Id never imagine like not playing it And now when it kinda comes round in sets, its just like, fun yknow Like thats it Its erm Yeah no we all sorta really enjoy playing that And its one of them you can like Cause some of the other songs weve written since then I guess are a bit more like complex and you have to kinda concentrate a little bit more And like think about singing in tune and like playing the right notes And that one... You can sorta, just like have a laugh with... few minutes Still manage to murder it sometimes though, it kinda feels like a lot of them older tunes We dont play a lot of them because it feels like you cant anymore, like whatever it took to sorta write and like play them songs when we used to, int there anymore And for some reason, some of them have a longer shelf life than other ones Or it sorta sometimes feel like were doing like covers of- It feels like theyre cover songs that we play like But we kinda cant do a cover of Fake Tales of San Francisco but I think we do a pl- a pretty good I Bet You Look Good On The Dancefloor cover.
When you leave us through the patient doors That rattle in your ear will be the sound of our applause Rapturous, considered and due Oh the nasty laughter and desperate smirks Are tangled in the boredom where out brittle kisses lurk Well how can I believe you, when you cant believe your luck And the shards of past attraction lie visible But shy and blunt and weak and worn Away by whining in the emery paper voice you use to speak Oh the shards of past attraction lie visible But shy and blunt and weak and worn Away by whining in the emery paper voice you use to speak In the trap You only want to be the first to laugh You only want to be the first in the sandtrap You only want to be the first to laugh And your climbing holes and cinder claws Ring out like the calenture that you sent us all towards Farewell, farewell, farewell
Im going back to 505 If its a seven-hour flight or a forty-five-minute drive In my imagination, youre waiting lying on your side With your hands between your thighs Stop and wait a sec When you look at me like that, my darling, what did you expect?

A song about a search for the Albert Hall I thought I saw you in the Battleship But it was only a look-a-like She was nothing but a vision trick Under the warning light She was close, close enough to be your ghost But my chances turned to toast When I asked her if I could call her your name I thought I saw you in the Rusty Hook Huddled up in a wicker chair I wandered over for a closer look And smooched whoever was sitting there She was close, and she squeezed me very tightly Til I asked awfully politely Pleasе, can I call you her name?

Im a puppet on a string Tracy Island, time-traveling Diamond cutter-shaped heartache That come to find you four in some velvet morning Years too late, shes a silver lining Lone ranger riding through an open space In my mind when shes not right there beside me I go crazy cause here isnt where I wanna be And satisfaction feels like a distant memory And I cant help myself, all I Wanna hear her say is Are you mine? Well, are you mine? Are you mine? Well, are you mine? Oh, ah I guess what Im trying to say is I need the deep end Keep imagining meeting, wished away entire lifetimes Unfair were not somewhere misbehaving for days Great escape, lost track of time and space Shes a silver lining climbing on my desire And I go crazy cause here isnt where I wanna be And satisfaction feels like a distant memory And I cant help myself, all I Wanna hear her say is Are you mine? Well, are you mine? Are you mine? Well, are you mine? Oh, ah And the thrill of the chase moves in mysterious ways So in case, Im mistaken, I Just wanna hear you say, You got me, baby Are you mine? Shes a silver lining Lone ranger riding through an open space Ah, thats a big shadow In my mind when shes not right there beside me I go crazy cause here isnt where I wanna be And satisfaction feels like a distant memory And I cant help myself, all I Wanna hear her say is Are you mine? Well, are you mine? Are you mine? Are you mine? Oh, ah Shes a silver lining Lone ranger riding through an open space In my mind when shes not right there beside me I go crazy cause here isnt where I wanna be And satisfaction feels like a distant memory And I cant help myself, all I Wanna hear her say is Are you mine? Well, are you mine? Are you mine? Are you mine? Oh, ah
He spoke a script Dipped in the sort of talk to make you keep the gaze Its all a trick The slicked back slimy arms have got a war to wage Hes got a laugh like a crackling wire And he wants to put the bite marks on you He wants to put the bite marks on you And he twists my guts As the only thing thats repelling as his invitations Are his excuses And he said I am the conductor Put me in a terror pocket He did a stint Master in a craft Hed squint through his spectacle Hed drop a dirty hint if he thinks that he could impress you with the unacceptable And he has turned through all the pages with his fingers And covered them with goo And he wants to put the bite marks on you He wants to put them on you and it hurts my back Because the only thing thats as heavy as the adoration Is the days of hanging out on his lawn And he spilled without a sounding alarm And he frightened me to death When he said I am the conductor
