You Probably Couldn't See For The Lights But You Were Staring Straight At Me
Arctic Monkeys
Album : Whatever People Say I Am, That's What I'm Not
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 its 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
