After years of going "Man, the Arctic Monkeys are really good", I've just gotta admit that these guys are my favorite band. Each album is different from the last, and they all kick ass!

[sirociarimboli]

Suck It And See...such an underrated album...

[wawis]

fact: matt's scar on his arm is actually real! it happened during boxing practices and he broke his arm and they had to put metal thingies on it and as in today he still has this scar

[BollyBibby]

"One of those games you're gonna lose but you wanna play it just in case"

One of my favorites of their lyrics

[csmicvampire]

IT WAS 13 YEARS AGO?!?! Still feels like yesterday, literally was growing up to SIAS album. Best

[sunandimimo]

i still don't understand why many people dislike suck it and see album... maybe they never heard this song before

[tacoloco]

Lately I've been seeing things
Belly button piercings in the sky at night
When we're side by side
And I don't mean to rain on anybody's cabaret
One of those games you're gonna lose
But you wanna play it just in case

And now it's getting dark and the sky looks sticky
More like black treacle than tar
Black treacle
Somebody told the stars you're not coming out tonight
And so they found a place to hide

Does it help you stay up late?
Does it help you concentrate?
Is it true you win when you chew your chin?
Am I ruining your fun?
And you talk the talk alright
Do you walk the walk or catch the train?
You wanted it, you got it
But you don't want it now

Now it's getting dark and the sky looks sticky
More like black treacle than tar
Black treacle
Somebody told the stars you're not coming out tonight
And so they found a place to hide

And now I'm out of place and I'm not getting any wiser
I feel like the Sundance Kid behind a synthesizer
And I tried last night to pack away a laugh
Like a key under the mat
But it never seems to be there when you want it
Black treacle
Black treacle
Black treacle

One thing I have never understood is why 90% of all music videos are impossible to understand with so many random things happening in relation to absolutely nothing.

"... and I tried last night to pack away the laugh like the key under the mat, but it never seems to be there when you want it." Man, that was beautiful!

[juanadates]

why isn't everybody talking bout how freaking hot is Alex in here

[pablock]

This song alone justifies why Arctic Monkeys is my favorite band... Just perfect

[nicksbasementscraps]

2:54
only matthew j helders III would drum on a car wheel with nunchucks. absolute icon.

[iana]

I wish I could listen to this song for the first time again... I love so much until today, but the first time is always incomparable

[shwetakurian]

"You wanted it, you got it. But you don't want it now..."

[jamesmalone]

Is it just me or would this song just be perfect for the ending of any movie?

[bailey__rolo]

Alex Turners voice is distinctive, such a great vocalist

[sweetfashionx]

Didn't really understand the video, but I got to see Alex's face so I'm good.

[uhhhum]

[nonvernon]

[kayloworld]
