Arctic Monkeys - Their 15 Best Lyrics

15. "That's not a skirt girl that's a sawn off shotgun, and I can only hope you've got it aimed at me" Song: Suck It And See Album: Suck It And See Starting off this list is an excerpt from the title track of AM's fourth album, which is undoubtedly one of the Arctic's most romantic songs. It mainly comprises of Turner crooning about love via references towards poetry and metaphors of Dandelion & Burdock. Thankfully however, this is not the case throughout with the line above serving as reminder of who we're listening to, as Turner's wicked sense of humour shines through in an innuendo that is impossible to miss, as he add his own twist to an otherwise very standard love song. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TlYJKfunfC0 14. "How to tear apart the ties that bind, perhaps f**k off might be too kind" Song: Do Me A Favour Album: Favourite Worst Nightmare Perhaps the most malicious example of Turner's lyrical prowess is shown here, as he provides one of the most memorable closing lines from any song in recent years. The song focuses upon two lover's relationship ending, and the indisputable sense of hatred that emerges towards each other because of this. The line focuses on the main character's contempt for each other explicitly as both feel no love towards each other any more and want nothing more but to end things and get the other person out of their life as soon as possible. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v7aOa6hE51g
