This song is so underrated god I love it so much

[sophias]

one of the best songs off humbug. it’s so underrated:(

[suki_suk]

That beat change makes me smile so much...I can’t even

[Avdanru]

I used to hate humbug a lot but over time song by song I began to realize the absolute masterpiece this album is

[esme]

This is one of the many slow (ish) songs on the Arctic monkeys albums. This concludes of secret door, mad sounds, riot van, etc. each album has one or possibly even 2 slow songs. These songs are so extremely underrated but are some of the best

[Pedro-qoyk]

Humbug is the best album and only my opinion matters

[sehbueno]

I'm completely addicted to this song, dear Lord

[fyofx]

This is absolutely my favourite Arctic Monkeys song of all time. On a surface level, it simply sounds amazing. The build along with the guitars and the slow, sweet melody is just perfect. But lyrically, it is still perfection. I have loved this song for well over a year now and it's greatly due to the cryptic lyrics. I love to interpret it as a celebrity who wears a mask for the public, and this guy completely falls for it, making assumptions about her. Then he meets her privately and finds out it's all an act, but her performance is so convincing that he nearly doesn't believe her when she's being genuine. the fools on parade are the paparazzi who will never know this other side to her, and she doesn't care about what they write about her (scribbles on a page by a picture). However I can also imagine it's about high schoolers at a house party, or that the celebrities are the fools on parade, not the paparazzi. it is just such a perfect song; so interesting, and I will never get tired of trying to figure it out <3

[sophias]

i can listen to this song on repeat and not get tired of it

[smudgy]

Many memories with me and my old friends with this song. Bitter but good memories. I wish I could relive those days when i was 16 but i still can't move on

esta canción me hace acordar a mi gato, lo consideraba mi hermano porque nunca tuve uno. Teníamos una excelente química, siempre fue mi complemento. Le gustaba el afecto y también era muy cariñoso y tierno. Lo extraño tanto, recuerdo que la última vez que estuvimos juntos fue una tarde en la que iba a tomar una siesta, entonces suena esta canción y él se dormía lentamente, yo veía como sus ojos decaían en el sueño, fue una escena muy hermosa que compartí con él. Lamentablemente el falleció hace unos días, y desde ese entonces me sentí incompleto, triste desolado y sin ganas de nada. Cada vez que escucho esta canción rompo en lágrimas al recordar esa última vez que la pasé con él y sonaba esta bella canción, te amaré infinitamente Señor Gato, jamás te voy a olvidar.

Why is the music I love always so underrated

[ericasantana]

Fools on parade cavort and carry on for waiting eyes
That you would rather be beside than in front of
But she's never been the kind to be hollowed by the stares

She swam out of tonight's phantasm
Grabbed my hand and made it very clear
There's absolutely nothing for us here
It's a magnolia celebration to be attempted on a Wednesday night
It's better than to get a reputation as a miserable little tyke
At least that's the conclusion she came to in this overture

And the secret door swings behind us
She's saying nothing, she's just giggling along

Her arms were folded most indignant
Not looking like she was soon to leave
I had to squint in order to believe
And then like a butler pushing on a bookshelf
I'm unveiling the unexpected
I, who was earlier reluctant
Was suddenly embarrassed and corrected
How could such a creature survive in such a habitat?

And the secret door swings behind us
She's saying nothing, she's just giggling along
Even if they were to find us
I wouldn't notice, I'm completely occupied

As all the fools on parade cavort and carry on for waiting eyes
Ones you would rather be beside than in front of
But she's never been the kind to be hollowed by the stares
Fools on parade frolic and fuck about to make her gaze
Turn to a scribble on a page by a picture that holds her absence
But you're daft to think she'd care

Fools on parade
Fools on parade
Fools on parade
Conduct a sing-along
