Arctic Monkeys - Their 15 Best Lyrics

1. "Called up to listen to the voice of reason and got his answering machine, I left my message but did he f**k get back to me" Song: Reckless Serenade Album: Suck It And See The final entry on the list is one that this writer feels really encapsulates everything that works in Alex Turner's writing. For one, it's got clever imagery with the idea of your conscience being attainable through the telephone in the 21st century, comparing it to self help call centres. Only instead of offering reassurance it's meant to offer advice on how to lead your life. Secondly it's another example of his unique sense of humour with the song detailing how he's completely bewildered upon meeting what he believes to be the most beautiful girl alive, so much so that his inner voice can't offer any support and is ignoring him, as if her beauty has disabled even his internal monologue. Finally it just makes you feel happy upon hearing it, it's an example of Turner not taking himself too seriously and playing about with the listener in a very tongue in cheek way as he gets aggravated at his incapability to know how to behave around this gorgeous girl. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=chVFscOabYM So, that's my pick of the top 15 Arctic Monkeys lyrics and I realise that this may not be exactly the list you may have chosen or you may disagree with some of my choices. Should this be the case feel free to leave a comment below, although in a heads up before anyone suggests it, the exclusion of "Brick By Brick" on here was not accidental.
