Arctic Monkeys - View from the Afternoon Lyrics

Artist: Arctic Monkeys

Album: Whatever People Say I Am, That's What I'm Not

Genre: Rock

  • Songwriters: Alex Turner

Anticipation has the habit to set you up
For disappointment in evening entertainment but
Tonight there'll be some love
Tonight there'll be a ruckus, yeah regardless of what's gone before

I want to see all of the things that we've already seen
The lairy girls hung out the window of the limousine
And of course it's fancy dress
And they're all looking quite full on
In bunny ears and devil horns

Anticipation has the habit to set you up
For disappointment in evening entertainment but
Tonight there'll be some love
Tonight there'll be a ruckus, yeah regardless of what's gone before

I want to see all of the things that we've already seen
I want to see you take the jackpot out the fruit machine
And put it all back in
You've got to understand it you can never beat the bandit, no

And she won't be surprised and she won't be shocked
When she's pressed the star after she's pressed unlock
And there's verse and chapter sat in her inbox
And all that it says is that you've drank a lot

And you should bear that in mind tonight
Bear that in mind
Yeah you should bear that in mind tonight
Bear that in mind

And you can pour your heart out
But her reasoning will block
Or you send her after nine o clock

Anticipation has the habit to set you up
For disappointment in evening entertainment but
Tonight there'll be some love, oh
Tonight there'll be a ruckus, yeah regardless of what's gone before

And she won't be surprised and she won't be shocked
When she's pressed the star after she's pressed unlock
And there's verse and chapter sat in her inbox
And all that it says is that you've drank a lot

And you should bear that in mind tonight
Bear that in mind
Yeah you should bear that in mind tonight
Bear that in mind

And you can pour your heart out around 3 o'clock
When the 2 for 1's undone the writer's block
