[Intro: Ewan Davis]
(Shall I keep rolling?)

[Instrumental Break]

[Verse 1: Alex Turner]
Well, oh, they might wear classic Reeboks
Or knackered Converse, or tracky bottoms tucked in socks
But all of that's what the point is not
The point's that there in't no romance around there
And there's the truth that they can't see
They'd probably like to throw a punch at me
And if you could only see 'em then you would agree
Agree that there in't no romance around there

[Chorus: Alex Turner]
You know? Oh, it's a funny thing, you know
We'll tell 'em if you like, we'll tell 'em all tonight
They'll never listen because their minds are made up
And of course it's all okay to carry on that way

[Verse 2: Alex Turner]
'Cause over there there's broken bones
There's only music so that there's new ringtones
And it don't take no Sherlock Holmes
To see it's a little different around here
Don't get me wrong though, there's boys in bands
And kids who like to scrap with pool cues in their hands
And just 'cause he's had a couple of cans
He thinks it's all right to act like a dickhead
[Chorus: Alex Turner]
Don't you know? Oh, it's a funny thing, you know
We'll tell 'em if you like, we'll tell 'em all tonight
They'll never listen, because their minds are made up
And course it's all okay to carry on that way

[Bridge: Alex Turner]
But I said no, oh no
Well, you won't get me to go
Not anywhere, not anywhere
No, I won't go, oh, no, no

[Instrumental Break]

[Verse 3: Alex Turner]
But over there, there's friends of mine
What can I say? I've known 'em for a long long time
And they might overstep the line
But you just cannot get angry in the same way
No, not in the same way
Said, not in the same way
Oh no, oh no, no

[Instrumental Outro]
