  • Another great song of Arctic Monkeys that was available on YT only in unclear concert versions. Here comes much better one.
    Enjoy - and check my other Arctic Monkeys videos!
    I Bet You Look Good On The Dancefloor:
    • Arctic Monkeys-Bet You...
    Still Take You Home:
    • Arctic Monkeys - Still...
    Mardy Bum:
    • Arctic Monkeys - Mardy...
    Red Light Indicates Doors Are Secured:
    • Arctic Monkeys - Red L...
    Lyrics:
    Up rolls a riot van
    And sparks excitement in the boys
    But the policemen look annoyed
    Perhaps these are ones they should avoid
    We got a chase last night
    From men with truncheons, dressed in hats
    We didn't do that much wrong, still ran away though
    For the laugh, just for the laugh...
    And please just stop talking
    Cause they won't find us if you do
    Oh those silly boys in blue
    Well they won't catch me and you
    "Have you been drinking son, you don't look old enough to me"
    "I'm sorry officer, is there a certain age you're supposed to be? Cause nobody told me..."
    And up rolls a riot van
    And these lads just wind the coppers up
    They ask why they don't catch proper crooks
    They get their address and their names took
    But they couldn't care less
    Thrown in a riot van
    All the coppers kicked him in
    And there was no way he could win
    Just had to take it on the chin...

    When I was a teen these guys were my favourite band. I remember taking the bus about an hour away on a friday to go see a girlfriend at the time. Coming down a long winding hill, the sun setting and I have Arctic Monkeys playing on one of the first ipods to come out. Utter bliss.

    Lyrics
    So up rolls a riot van
    And sparks excitement in the boys
    But the policemen look annoyed
    Perhaps these are ones they should avoid
    Got chased last night
    From men with truncheons dressed in hats
    We didn't do that much wrong
    Still ran away though for the laugh
    Just for the laugh
    And please just stop talking cause they won't find us if you do
    Oh those silly boys in blue
    Well they won't catch me and you
    Have you been drinking son, you don't look old enough to me
    I'm sorry officer, is there a certain age you're supposed to be, cause nobody told me
    And up rolls the riot van
    And these lads just wind the coppers up
    They ask why they don't catch proper crooks
    They get their address and their names took
    But they couldn't care less
    Thrown in a riot van
    And all the coppers kicked him in
    And there was no way he could win
    Just had to take it on the chin

    • @bibimyunn
      @bibimyunn Před 10 lety +29

      millezenith I respectfully disagree. The Strokes paved the way for 2000's Indie and Garage Rock. Without them, we probably wouldn't have the Arctic Monkeys. Alex Turner even said how important The Strokes were to their music.

    I just found these guys like a week ago. But I just was like lightning struck. Alex Turner blew my mind away. The way he brought poetry and messages about the shit society we live in to popular music. It's just amazing! Jam and the Smiths had beautiful offspring. Let's hope they don't break up like those bands.

Looking back at the burst of good music that (at last) emerged in the past 10 years (and sadly is now fading) this band could be seen as the Joy Division of this era.

    If you listened to the demo version you can easily understand what I'm saying. I have a theory about the song. I think Alex's had a group of friends. They were underage but drinking. Cops were trying to catch them because of little crimes they commited. But they didn't give a fuck and were having fun. At the end of the song, cops caught one of them. I think he was Alex. In demo version the story continues. His other friends managed to run away with a van. But they lost control and died. It makes sense..
