Arctic Monkeys — You Probably Couldn't See for the Lights but You Were Staring Straight at Me

You Probably Couldn't See for the Lights but You Were Staring Straight at Me

One look sends it coursing through the veins
Oh how the feeling races
Back up to their brains to form expressions
On their stupid faces
They don't want to say hello
Like I want to say hello
Well, the heart beats at its peak
When you're coming up to speak
 
And I'm so tense, never tenser
Could all go a bit Frank Spencer?
And 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
But they're not half as bad as me
Say anything and I'll agree
'Cause 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
Quite 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 their stupid faces
