There's always somebody taller with more of a wit And he's equipped to enthrall her and her friends think he’s fit And you just can't measure up though, you don't have a prayer Wishing that you'd made the most of her when she was there They've got engaged there's no intention of a wedding He's pinched your bird and he'd probably kick your head in Bigger boys and stolen sweethearts Oh, you’re better off without her anyway You said you wasn't sad to see her go Yeah, but I know you were though Now you don't know what she's up to you can only assume If she's not in the front of the shops then they've gone to his room Bet she's gone 'round in her school stuff, bet that’s what he likes I know you thought she were different and you thought she were nice But she's not nice, she's pretty fucking far from nice She’s looking at you funny rarely looking at you twice Bigger boys and stolen sweethearts Oh, you’re better off without her anyway You said you wasn't sad to see her go Yeah, but it's so clear you were though Have you heard what she has been doing? Never did it for me He picks her up at the school gate at twenty past three She’s been with all of the boys but, never went very far And she wagged English and science just to go in his car They've got engaged there's no intention of a wedding He's pinched me bird and he'd probably kick my head in Oh now the girls have grown Yeah but I'm sure that they still carry on in similar ways Bigger boys and stolen sweethearts Oh, I'm better off without her anyway I said I wasn't sad to see her go Yeah, but I'm only pretending, you know Yeah, I'm only pretending, you know I was only pretending, you know I was only pretending, you know
Lucas Matheus de Souza all the alliterations and interesting vernacular this guy uses in his songs and that’s the part you choose as an example of his good writing? lol why because girls are mean to you?
Carl Sagan cant u sense the lyricism in that part? she's pretty fucking far from nice is a great example of alliteration. I like fluorescent adolescent's everything is in order in a black hole, nothing seem as pretty as the past though as well. There's nothing to do with girls dude. I dont fucking care. cheers
this is so old that alex doesn't even sound like alex and i fucking love it, his raspy voice and the "teenage" touch. i l o v e it.
que raro pillar a alguien con foto de muzska comentado una de las canciones menos conocidas de los monos. buen descubrimiento! c:
@@bastianbernal409 bigger gwyns and stolen flames!
This video is the real alex voice, not the new american one.
there isn't a single comment on here about how it's not alex turner and yet people seem to be annoyed that people think its not him.
It's him, but very young
How could anyone think this isn't Alex? Just by listening to his accent in combination with his voice you can hear it's him.
The tone of the voice is really shows the singer is Alex Turner himself.
This song hits to close to home for me
It is different to AM yeah but not the first few albums. If you have listened to them you can easily tell it is Alex. Such a good song.
There's always somebody taller with more of a wit
And he's equipped to enthrall her and her friends think he’s fit
And you just can't measure up though, you don't have a prayer
Wishing that you'd made the most of her when she was there
They've got engaged there's no intention of a wedding
He's pinched your bird and he'd probably kick your head in
Bigger boys and stolen sweethearts
Oh, you’re better off without her anyway
You said you wasn't sad to see her go
Yeah, but I know you were though
Now you don't know what she's up to you can only assume
If she's not in the front of the shops then they've gone to his room
Bet she's gone 'round in her school stuff, bet that’s what he likes
I know you thought she were different and you thought she were nice
But she's not nice, she's pretty fucking far from nice
She’s looking at you funny rarely looking at you twice
Bigger boys and stolen sweethearts
Oh, you’re better off without her anyway
You said you wasn't sad to see her go
Yeah, but it's so clear you were though
Have you heard what she has been doing? Never did it for me
He picks her up at the school gate at twenty past three
She’s been with all of the boys but, never went very far
And she wagged English and science just to go in his car
They've got engaged there's no intention of a wedding
He's pinched me bird and he'd probably kick my head in
Oh now the girls have grown
Yeah but I'm sure that they still carry on in similar ways
Bigger boys and stolen sweethearts
Oh, I'm better off without her anyway
I said I wasn't sad to see her go
Yeah, but I'm only pretending, you know
Yeah, I'm only pretending, you know
I was only pretending, you know
I was only pretending, you know
So good ,so cute,so sad.
the part that he sings: "but she's not Nice, she's pretty fucking far from nice" shows how poetic are alex's lyrics. Or how it used to be..

I like this era, I like the ‘new’ Arctic Monkeys, I am glad they changed, however I do very much prefer this.
