Arctic Monkeys - Fluorescent Adolescent



You used to get it in your fishnets

Now you only get it in your night dress

Discarded all the naughty nights for niceness

Landed in a very common crisis

Everything's in order in a black hole

Nothing seems as pretty as the past, though

That Bloody Mary's lacking in Tabasco

Remember when he used to be a rascal?



Oh, that boy's a slag

The best you ever had, the best you ever had

Is just a memory and those dreams

Not as daft as they seem, not as daft as they seem, my love

When you dream them up



Flicking through a little book of sex tips

Remember when the boys were all electric?

Now when she tells she's gonna get it

I'm guessing that she'd rather just forget it

Clinging to not getting sentimental

Said she wasn't going, but she went still

Likes her gentlemen to not be gentle

Was it a megadobber or a betting pencil?



Oh, that boy's a slag

The best you ever had, the best you ever had

Is just a memory and those dreams

Weren't as daft as they seem, not as daft as they seem, my love

When you dream them up, ohh...



Where did you go? Where did you go?

Where did you go? Ohh oh...



Falling about

You took a left off Last Laugh Lane

You just sounded it out

You're not coming back again



You used to get it in your fishnets

Now you only get it in your night dress

Discarded all the naughty nights for niceness

Landed in a very common crisis

Everything's in order in a black hole

Nothing seems as pretty as the past, though

That Bloody Mary's lacking in Tabasco

Remember when he used to be a rascal?
