Alex Turner
The Afternoon’s Hat
[Verse 1]
Made me kiss ya with a whisper
And violently you swung through unfamiliar tongue
Couldn't listen to tradition
Grab me by the wrist to silently insist

[Chorus]
And when I'm in the confines of crawling walls
You hold me in place
The ripples on the ceiling, the avenues
Unsugared taste
We'll waste away the evening
The afternoon and the afternoon's hat
Together we'll find something to direct some laughter at

[Verse 2]
You stood shirtless and confident
Listening to the fools, tickling the rules
Their obsessions followed patterns
Sat upon their stools with their attitudes

[Chorus]
And when I'm in the confines of crawling walls
You hold me in place
The ripples on the ceiling, the avenues
Unsugared taste
We'll waste away the evening
The afternoon and the afternoon's hat
Together we'll find something to direct some laughter at
[Instrumental Break]

[Chorus]
And when I'm in the confines of crawling walls
You hold me in place
The ripples on the ceiling, the avenues
Unsugared taste
We'll waste away the evening
The afternoon and the afternoon's hat
Together we'll find something to direct some laughter at
