This album just shows how great of a song writer Alex Turner was at a young age. Telling genuine stories of what life was/is like as a British teen/young adult and making it so relatable. Not a single bad song.
My childhood album , sad times , good times but all of it is a time in my life I cant go back to , this album helps relive it all a little bit . Where have the years gone ?
Up rolls a riot van And sparks excitement in the boys But the policemen look annoyed Perhaps these are ones they should avoid Got a chase last night From men with truncheons dressed in hats We didn't do that much wrong Still ran away though, for the laugh Just for the laugh And please just stop talking 'Cause they won't find us if you do Oh, those silly boys in blue Well, they won't catch me and you "Have you been drinking, son? You don't look old enough to me" "I'm sorry, officer Is there a certain age you're supposed to be? 'Cause nobody told me" And up rolls the riot van And these lads just wind the coppers up They ask why they don't catch proper crooks They get their address and their names took But they couldn't care less Thrown in the riot van And all the coppers kicked him in And there was no way he could win Just had to take it on the chin
This way this song makes me feel is so hard to describe, the nostalgia I feel when I listen to is like nothing else and I don’t know why. One of my favourite songs ever it’s so beautiful. ALLOVE life is amazing I’m so happy 9:17 PM 3/17/21
I love the vibes this song gives off, I mean their other songs are good but they rely mostly on the beats,, I just love this song!!! I wish they made more songs like this nowadays
Sheffield, good hard northerner, played out this scene many times as a kid in my home town wigan, police had nothing better to do but harass young under age drinkers and yes they did kick the shit out of you, times now different, bring back the old days alcohol no drugs football terace standing fights at local pubs, hard coppers who could hold there own in a mass brawl, great song takes me back to a better place,
Remember my brother coming home from the village pub with the solo guitar tab written on a piece of paper from a mate who could play guitar. Amazing times.
Does anyone have the link to the song with the full lyrics that are posted in the description? The song isn't even that long in the cd, neither does it contain those lyrics :(
@@HashimAziz1 they're from the "Demo Version" that the Arctic Monkeys handed out on CDs before they became popular. The album release included only the first part.
Does he say the lyrics listed at the bottom of the description? "Pinched a car with one headlight..."? those lyrics are so chillingly awesome. is it on an extended version or something?
Great song. But the version in my iTunes library is completely different, as far as lyrics go. So when I search "Riot Van" and get this version I'm kinda bummed since I like the one I have much better. But tis nice to hear a different version of the song.
most underrated arctic monkeys song
Ikr, if this was in AM, it would be as big as Do I Wanna Know?
Do i wanna know is so overrated a.m. is my least favorite album and tranquility base hotel and casino is an underrated song.
not most underrated, but its up there
Best*
So many good memories to this album.
Absolutely
Yep great times.
Totally agreeddddd❤
This album just shows how great of a song writer Alex Turner was at a young age. Telling genuine stories of what life was/is like as a British teen/young adult and making it so relatable. Not a single bad song.
and it's so nostalgic. It reminds me of my college years in 2007.

@@bloodshotkHave you been drinking son? You don’t look old enough to me..
@@bloodshotkI’m guessing you’re 32 now lol
@@Marjitrovitski Don't remind me -__-
when you see the title "Riot Van" you think that this is going to be a loud and funky song but this is such a beautiful,calm story :)
Yes, so true
My childhood album , sad times , good times but all of it is a time in my life I cant go back to , this album helps relive it all a little bit . Where have the years gone ?
I feel the exact same way.
"Won't you tell me, where have all the good times gone"
Up rolls a riot van
And sparks excitement in the boys
But the policemen look annoyed
Perhaps these are ones they should avoid
Got a chase last night
From men with truncheons dressed in hats
We didn't do that much wrong
Still ran away though, for the laugh
Just for the laugh
And please just stop talking
'Cause they won't find us if you do
Oh, those silly boys in blue
Well, they won't catch me and you
"Have you been drinking, son?
You don't look old enough to me"
"I'm sorry, officer
Is there a certain age you're supposed to be?
'Cause nobody told me"
And up rolls the riot van
And these lads just wind the coppers up
They ask why they don't catch proper crooks
They get their address and their names took
But they couldn't care less
Thrown in the riot van
And all the coppers kicked him in
And there was no way he could win
Just had to take it on the chin
i dont want this song to end
My thoughts literally every time i listen to it
Abso freaking lutely, brother.
@@carlyr35 sameee
Remember the year this came out. Couldn’t have been a more perfect time in life for this.
Same. I was 16 when this came out, drinking in the park and on the street corners. It was our anthem.
Nostalgic
Listen to the change in Library Pictures if you want Nostalgia.
Reminds me of the old times with the lads... Fuckin great!
Lol yeah
Musica foda mesmo bro, hahaha
Panic br...
One of the most slept on arctic monkeys tracks
this song makes me feel nostalgic
I freakin love this song. I just sit on iTunes on my PC keeping his song on a loop all day
Awesome idea
wait its been a month since i posted that? no way
wait its been a year since i posted this? no way
fuck two years i wonder how long this will keep going
+Andrew Campo I would have done the same

"thats why they dont catch proper crooks" So true
Very true! but the lyric is 'they ask why they don't catch proper crooks' ... typical when you imagine a 15-16 yr old caught drinkin haha
I love the vibes this song gives off, I mean their other songs are good but they rely mostly on the beats,, I just love this song!!! I wish they made more songs like this nowadays
"they rely mostly on the beats" wtf are you talking about they're a band not some hiphop duo
A new album that sounds like this song would be a good direction after AM
Perfect theme for this mess
This is probably my
Most favorite arctic monkey song. Perfect song to smoke a cig and just reminisce
bro this song is something else, but try mardy bum, when the sun goes down and 505.
there are my fav
@@mohamedabdel2317 505 is a classic
They'll be legends!

Great times man I’m old af
Favorite song of this band. I just want to listen to it over and over again
This is the best album 💯
i wana go to one of their shows sooooo baddd
o tipo de nostalgia que mata mas deixa vc vivo ao mesmo tempo.
Sheffield, good hard northerner, played out this scene many times as a kid in my home town wigan, police had nothing better to do but harass young under age drinkers and yes they did kick the shit out of you, times now different, bring back the old days alcohol no drugs football terace standing fights at local pubs, hard coppers who could hold there own in a mass brawl, great song takes me back to a better place,
Their 1st album is perfect.

"Oh those silly boys in blue"

Oh to be young and in Liverpool
Try Lancaster its boring af here.
What about Carlisle mate
This should be England’s new national anthem 😂😂
Why?
Shite! it's a cracking tune but Profit in Peace by Ocean Colour Scenes should be the National Anthem
Lol
Thank you very much! This and 'A Certain Romance' have like the best lyrics imo. I'll try to find it!
art
Wonderful
Love this song class
Honestly if you know this song your a goat.
Jimmy Chaffin, thank you for everything.
This album was based on things that they saw in Shefield, were they lived.
Remember my brother coming home from the village pub with the solo guitar tab written on a piece of paper from a mate who could play guitar. Amazing times.
love it
So peaceful. So happy. :)
Killer-Tune, i-❤️-it!!!!!!!!!😃😉😁
Any hooligan vid. magic
2008 and still just a good song
살아서 음악을 듣는 행복
10 years still x
WHAT. How is it that I've never known that this song exists before a few minutes ago?????
heartbeating song
Reminds me of running riot in my town. We didn’t really do much wrong we just ran n the coppers chased us. Was fun until we got caught haha
reminds me of cigarette daydreams by cage the elephant
So ran away for the laugh, just for the laugh, dope asf!!!!!
This explained me life! No lie.
Best self sesh song ever
I wish that solo would last forever
Omg this song literally explains my life XD
Does anyone have the link to the song with the full lyrics that are posted in the description? The song isn't even that long in the cd, neither does it contain those lyrics :(
The lyrics are from the bootleg version of this song that was on their "Underneath the Boardwalk" CD that was passed around before they got famous.
@hamsterdam92 could be a continuation of the song never released on the album
Very nice
yeah there is another version, its on youtube somewhere
A new album that sounds like this song would be a good spin off after AM
Fucking cool man
A sure classic
Windmilling at plymouth in the park Boys.

Same here
You could put put footage of any mountain related videogame in the background and it would fit
They get their address and their names took
But they couldn't care less
Does it cut off early for anyone else?
Yeah, I thought I was tripping out xD
waddy it doesn't cut off. If you listen to the album that's how it ends
Ethan Mayes so where do the extra lyrics in the description come from?
Yeah it ends like that on the album, this isn't a legit account.
@@HashimAziz1 they're from the "Demo Version" that the Arctic Monkeys handed out on CDs before they became popular.

juat as cool as fuck who cares how long it is?
Quality
Nice.
Such an underrated song
Oh those silly boys in blue... so true...
that's how the song ends guys it's coo
Man.
Does he say the lyrics listed at the bottom of the description? "Pinched a car with one headlight..."? those lyrics are so chillingly awesome. is it on an extended version or something?
demo version
Reminds me of my youth 🤣
If I were Alex Turner, I would have done this song faster because of the topic, but that's why I am not a genius and he is.
A W E S O M E
Who here in 2021?
I was just thinking that theres another version, it starts picking up pace towards the end right? Or am I just crazy?
why are there more lyrics in the info section?
2019 gang where you at?
Eskiler neden saha guzel
There's more lyrics in description than is being sang in the video.

This song is good
Beneath the boardwalk forever
Doesn't the guy in the cover look like Adam Sander
Tatiana De Oliveira no
Heh I like this song ;)
Honestly, its the perfect fucking ending
but they couldn’t care less
🎙⚖️🔐

I just wanna marry Alex Turner. He has the fucking voice of an angel
