Put your heavy metal to the test
There might be half a love song in it all for you
Timing-wise, it's probably for the best
Come here and kiss me now before it gets too cute
Mr Schwartz is staying strong for the crew
Wardrobe's lint rolling your velveteen suit
And smudging dubbing on your dancing shoes
Gradually, it's coming into view
It's like your little directorial debut
As fine a time as any to deduce
The fact that neither you or I has ever had a clue
But Mr Schwartz is staying strong for the crew
Wardrobe's lint rolling your velveteen suit
And smudging dubbing on your dancing shoes
And if we guess who I'm pretending to be
Do we win a prize?
Having attempted twice, both incorrectly
Do we get a third try?
The gloved hand's reachin' in to hit the switch
There's not one goddamn thing that you can do about it
But Mr Schwartz is having tea with the grips
Asking after all the wives and the kids
It's at the heart of what the business is

About this song
Arctic Monkeys are an English rock band from Sheffield known for their indie and garage rock sound that rose to prominence in the mid-2000s with Whatever People Say I Am, That’s What I’m Not. They are fronted by singer-guitarist Alex Turner and later broadened their style with producer-led releases from Josh Homme and genre-shifting concept work like Tranquility Base Hotel & Casino.
