Potion Approaching lyrics Arctic Monkey

Potion Approaching lyrics Arctic Monkey

I was biting the time zone
And we embellish the banks of our bloodstreams
And threw caution to the colourful
Then we fell asleep in the car
Until the bumps woke me up in your grip
And the tide took me to your mouth
And then swept me back down to your palms

It’s them that put me inside the reminder
That yours is the only ocean
(Yours is the only ocean)
That I wanna swing from
Yours is the only ocean
That I wanna hang on

I've got this ego mechanic
She’s always trying to give me vitamins
I should be frightened of your reflection
I preferred her as a cartoon
If I could be someone else for a week
I’d spend it chasing after you
Cause she’s not shattering my attitude
No matter how she folds the potion

Yours is the only ocean
(Yours is the only ocean)
That I wanna swing from
Yours is the only ocean
That I wanna hang on to

I’m swinging on
Yours is the only ocean
Yours is the only ocean
Yours is the only ocean
Yours is the only ocean

Potion approaching, shield your eyes
Potion approaching, visualize
Holding a token, swollen in size
Potion approaching, shield your eyes

Oh but if we’re gonna escape though
We really ought to think it through
Would you like me to build you a go-kart?

Arctic Monkeys:Potion Approaching is performed by Arctic Monkeys and appears on the album Humbug (2009).

Red Right Hand Lyrics - Arctic Monkeys

Red Right Hand Lyrics - Arctic Monkeys

Take a little walk to the edge of town
Go across the tracks
Where the viaduct looms, like a bird of doom
As it shifts and cracks
Where secrets lie in the humming wires
in the border fires, for you know
you're never coming back
Past the square, past the bridge,
past the mills, past the stacks
On a gathering storm comes a tall handsome man
In a dusty black coat with a "red right hand"

He'll wrap you in his arms,
tell you that you've been a good boy
He'll rekindle all those dreams
it took you a lifetime to destroy
He'll reach deep into the hole,
heal your shrinking soul
and there wont be a single thing
that you can do
Hey buddy, you know you're
never ever coming back
He's a god, he's a man,
he's a ghost, he's a guru
They're whispering his name through
this disappearing land
But hidden in his coat is a red right hand

You ain't got no money?
He'll get you some
You ain't got no car? He'll get you one
You ain't got no self-respect,
you feel like an insect
Well don't you worry buddy,
cause here he comes
Through the ghettos and the barrio
and the bowery and the slum
A shadow is cast wherever he stands
Stacks of green paper in his red right hand

solo

You'll see him in your nightmares,
you'll see him in your dreams
He'll appear out of nowhere but he ain't what he seems
You'll see him in your head, on the TV screen
And hey buddy, I'm warning
you to turn it off
He's a ghost, he's a god,
he's a man, he's a guru
You're one microscopic cog
in his catastrophic plan
Designed and directed by his red right hand

Cornerstone Lyrics - Arctic Monkeys

Cornerstone Lyrics - Arctic Monkeys

I thought a saw you in the battleship
but it was only a look alike
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 kiss whoever was sitting there
She was close
And she held me very thightly
Till I asked awfully politetly
Please, can I call you her name?

And I elongated my lift home
And I let him go the long way round
I smell your scent on the seat belt
And kept my shortcuts to myself

I thought I saw you in the Parrots Beak
Messing with a smoke alarm
It was too loud for me to hear her speak
And she had a broken arm
It was close
So close that the walls were wet
And she wrote out and later said
No, you can’t call me her name

Tell me where’s your hiding place
‘Im worried Ill forget your face
And I’ve asked everyone
I’m begining to think I imagined you all along

I elongated my lift home
Yeah I let him go the long way round
I smelt your scent on the seatbelt
And kept my shortcuts to myself

guitar melody

I saw your sister in the cornerstone
On the phone to the middle man
When I saw that she was on her own
I though she might understand
She was close
Well you couldn’t get much closer
She said, I’m really not supposed to
But yes, you can call me anything you want

Dance Little Liar Lyrics - Arctic Monkeys

Dance Little Liar Lyrics Arctic Monkeys

I heard the truth was built to bend
A mechanism to suspend the guilt
Is what you are requiring still
You’ve got to dance little liar

Just like those fibbs that pop and fizz
And you’ll be forced to take that awful quiz
And you’re bound to trip
And she’ll detect the fiction on
Your lips and dig a contradiction up

And the clean coming will hurt
And you can never get it spotless
When there’s dirt beneath the dirt
The liar take a lot less time

I’m sure it’s clear and plain to me
Its not an alibi you need just yet
Oh no it’s something for those beads of sweat
Yes that we’ll get you back to normal

And after you have dabbed the patch you’ll grieve
And then proceed to scratch the varnish off
That newly added calmness
So as not to raise any alarms too soon

And the clean coming will hurt
And you can never get it spotless
When there’s dirt beneath the dirt

The liar takes a lot less

Time to decide on his saunter
Have you got itchy bones
And in all your time alone
Can you hack your mind being riddled
with the wrong memories

guitar solo

And the clean coming will hurt
And you can never get it spotless
When there’s dirt between the dirt

Pretty Visitors Lyrics Arctic Monkeys

Pretty Visitors Lyrics Arctic Monkeys

Tricking through the morning
The tramp with the trampoline under his arm
Shifts past your whiskers
So spark is a charm with the barking alarm
Weighs coil ’til the corner is turned

And the bicycle wheels, all struggle to move round
In your muddy mind blatantly cape town
And will intertwine in co-operative time
Shall we sit on the springs ’til the moon goes dry

Chorus
All the pretty visitors
Came and waved their arms and cast
The shadow of a snake pit on the wall
All the pretty visitors
Came and waved their arms and cast
The shadow of a snake pit on the wall

What came first the chicken or the dickhead?
Split sleep reeps through rewards and ill fitting thoughts
A twilight force, she doesn’t wanna walk
Your legs start running and your legs gets caught

Cannot be nineteen, it’s perfectly placed for
The reasonably frightening,
Pulled from the after taste, you’ll have to slip away
and I’m happy to say
Behold as the crook in a hammock plays

Chorus
All the pretty visitors
Came and waved their arms and cast
The shadow of a snake pit on the wall
All the pretty visitors
Came and waved their arms and cast
The shadow of a snake pit on the wall

instrumental break

Behold as the crook in the hammock plays
Crawling with the base of the scales
And fiddles with the feet on a balancing act
Gagged, bound and craft in a tale
Trailing wrapped in a gasp
(repeat)

Chorus
All the pretty visitors
Came and waved their arms and cast
The shadow of a snake pit on the wall
All the pretty visitors
Came and waved their arms and cast
The shadow of a snake pit on the wall

Crying Lightning Lyrics - Arctic Monkeys

Crying Lightning Lyrics - Arctic Monkeys

Sat in 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 your mistaken if your thinking that I haven't been caught cold before
As you bit into your strawberry lace
And then a flip in your attention in the form of a gobstopper
Is all you have left and it was going to waste

Your past-times, 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 it's way to meet you
Thinking of excuses to postpone
You never look like yourself from the side
But your profile did not hide
The fact you knew I was approaching your throne

With folded arms you occupy the bench like toothache
Saw them, puff your chest out like you never lost a war
And though I try so not to suffer the indignity of a reaction
There was no cracks to grasp or gaps to claw

And your past-times, 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

Your past-times, consisted of the strange
And twisted and deranged
And I hate that little game you had called
Crying lightning
Crying lightning
Crying lightning
Crying lightning

Your past-times, consisted of the strange
And twisted and deranged
And I hate that little game you had called
Crying

My Propeller Lyrics - Arctic Monkeys

My Propeller Lyrics - Arctic Monkeys

If you can summon the strength, tow me
I can’t hold down the urgency
You’ve got to make your decent slowly
And oil up those sticky keys

Coax me out, my love
And have a spin of my propeller

It's a necessary evil
No cause for emergency
Borrow the beak of a bald eagle
Oh, momentary synergy

Coax me out, my love
Sink into tomorrow
Coax me out, my love
And have a spin of my propeller

My propeller won’t spin and I can’t get it started on my own
When are you arriving?
My propeller won’t spin and I can’t get it started on my own
When are you arriving?
My propeller won’t spin and I can’t get it started on my own
When are you arriving?
My propeller
