The View From The Afternoon

Alex Turner / Arctic Monkeys

Anticipation has the 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
Lairy girls hung out the window of the limousine
And of course its fancy dress
And they're all looking quite full on in bunny ears and devil horns in hell

Anticipation has the 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 want to see you take the jackpot out the fruit machine
And put it all back in
You've got to understand it 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 it says is that you've drank a lot

You should bear that in mind tonight, bear that in mind
You should bear that in mind tonight, bear that in mind
You can pour your heart out but her reasoning will block
Oh! You send her after nine o'clock

Anticipation has the habit to set you up
For disappointment in evening entertainment but
Tonight there'll be some love
Tonight there'll be a rawkus 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 it says is that you've drank a lot

You should bear that in mind tonight, bear that in mind
You should bear that in mind tonight, bear that in mind
You can pour your heart out around three o'clock
When the 2 for 1's undone the writer's block
