Your grandfather's guitar
Thinking about how funny I must look
Trying to adjust to what's been there all along
With the boat kiosk lady and her sleepy amigos
But it ain't a holiday until
You go to fetch something from the car
Travel size champagne cork pops
And we're sweeping for bugs
In some dusty apartment
The "what's-it-called café"
You can arrive at 11
And have lunch with the English
But it ain't a holiday until
They force you to make a wish
They say, "Climb up this"
And, "Jump off that"
And you pretend to fall asleep on the way back
No, it ain't a holiday until
You go to fetch something from the car

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.
