The View From The Afternoon

Arctic Monkeys

Lyrics

Anticipation has a habit to set you up

For disappointment in evening entertainment but

Tonight there'll be some love

Tonight there'll be a ruckus, yeah, regardless of what's gone before

I want to see all of the things that we've already seen

The lairy girls hung out the window of the limousine

Of course it's fancy dress

And they're all looking quite forlorn in bunny ears and devil horns and how

Anticipation has a habit to set you up

For disappointment in evening entertainment but

Tonight there'll be some love

Tonight there'll be a ruckus, yeah, regardless of what's gone before

I want to see all of the things that we've already seen

I wanna see you take the jackpot out the fruit machine

And put it all back in

You've got to understand that you can never beat the bandit, no

And she won't be surprised and she won't be shocked

When she's pressed the star after she's pressed unlock

And there's verse and chapter sat in her inbox

And all that is said is that you've drank a lot

And you should bear that in mind tonight

Bear that in mind, yeah

You should bear that in mind tonight

Bear that in mind

And you can pour your heart out

For a reason it would block

Oh, you send her after nine o'clock

Anticipation has a habit to set you up

For disappointment in evening entertainment but

Tonight there'll be some love

Tonight there'll be a ruckus, yeah, regardless of what's gone before

And she won't be surprised and she won't be shocked

When she's pressed the star after she's pressed unlock

And there's verse and chapter sat in her inbox

And all that is said is that you've drank a lot

And you should bear that in mind tonight

Bear that in mind, yeah

You should bear that in mind tonight

Bear that in mind

And you can pour your heart out

Around three o'clock

When the two-for-ones have done the writer's block
