He reverences marijuana at the beginning "I only bought three, what you lookin at me for" and in the middle "spillin amaretto cause of previous joints" and then cocaine later "fortunate placin, proceed to railin' racket off a porcelain basin." Thinkin the other guys weren't into blow when he was, and its kind of a secretive thing with this girl he met at the wedding in the song. Still, amazing song. Those things do happen and it sounded like they had a fun night in the song and the bride got over her nerves. :)
Mallory Foshizzle i honestly listened to this song for the first time just now. the intro is so serene, but then they just come crashing in with the vocals. great song! i just wish the would've stuck with that vibe for the whole song
This song makes me want to wake up at 4:00 when its dark and just randomly walk around my downtown area. And just walk alone but happy at what I see and how cold it is. That's all I can think of right now. Thanks, Molly
I actually couldn't sleep one night and so I went outside to my front yard and played this over and over and when the sun rose it literally felt like i was the only one in the world... and then the neighbors started to wake up and the birds started chirping so I turned it off and went inside but listening to this song over and over all night was such a private experience because it felt like the rest of the world was sleeping and the world felt quiet and everything was at peace, even though it was just for a moment.
"Well I only brought 3, what you lookin' at me for?" She's dressed in white and putting off crying. "Well you're the best man, so what's the plan? Why don't you talk to Matty about it?" I said, "I only brought 3 like I told you before, We're gonna have to ask about." Free bar, that's the point. Spilling Amaretto 'cause of previous joints. I'm sitting with a girl, fortunate placing. Preceding railing racket off a porcelain basin. Who's he? Giving it the lips? I've never seen him knockin' about. He looks just like me, but 6 foot 3, So I reckon you could knock him out. "Well, I think I'll say a couple of words if you don't mind... I never really got on with your bird the first time I met her out, dressed in nowt, telling everybody you were shagging about." Well, who's this? Going for the kiss, I'm probably gonna yosh in your mouth. Because it's 5 past 3, I can hardly see and I'm on the verge of passing out.
Didn't really get around this song until I saw them live for the second time. When it all goes black, and the drums light up every time there hit, then Matty starts singing ! So gooodd, absolute tuneee
maeonmonday it’s because of the long instrumental in the beginning. It’s beautiful, but our brains don’t perceive the song as starting until the lyrics begin.
I used to listen to this whole album driving to school for my night classes in downtown Milwaukee. Something about this entire album and night driving through a city at a coming of age time in life just hits different.
I find this song and the rest of their music to be very relaxing. I listen to this song every morning driving to school and it's just so calming and peaceful.
The fact that Matty and George was smoking and drinking as the melody played, at the concert. That was seriously everything. Everyone was dacing to the beat and smiling. best concert
Prefer this so much to Love Me. This seems to have so much thought and meaning behind it. By far the best song on this album. Learned all the lyrics in one day. X
Love Me actually made me take the 1975 more seriously, tbh. Like before I just took them for granted, but if the lyrics in that song are very self aware. Although I admit this is my favourite song.
One of my old friends used to listen to this band, even went to one of their live shows when they were just sprouting up back in the early 2010s. He’s not with us anymore. I’m still bumping this album, Carlos. Miss you, bro.
Il tell you a story. My friends and I were rowing across the mediterranean for a charity event we decided to do. As it got dark and the night sky lit up totally free of light pollution. We looked up and witnessed the incredible Milky Way in all its glory. As we all gazed in awe at the night sky, a whales blowhole made us jump and excited. At this very moment, menswear came on the speaker in a poetic moment which left us all speechless. To this day I think it sounds like whale music and was part of the most special moment of my life. Who knew a song about cocaine at a wedding could be so magical.
"Who's he, giving you the lips? I've never seen him knockin about. He looks just like me, but 6 foot 3, so I reckon you could knock him out." Love love love them, so excited to see them next month
Well I only brought 3, what you lookin' at me for? She's dressed in white and putting off crying. Well you're the best man, so what's the plan? Why don't you talk to Matty about it?

The memories of driving down the motorway, windows down, 3am after a tough shift really hits me in the feels, this song has been a blessing for those times I can't lie
I bought this album and my first Hi-Fi on the same night on Black Friday a few years ago. No album has made me cry since. It's instrumental, heart warming and heart-breaking all in one. It shaped me but being a kid, isn't that what music does?
There are millions of songs out there that I’ve never heard of before that people adore!! It’s like I’m missing out on an entirely different world 😔 this band is one of them
You have no idea the feeling I get when I hear this song. It is spine tingling. I love The 1975 so much. Their depth of music range is incredible and I am so proud to call them my favourite band. #love
This song is pure perfection I don't understand how anyone could dislike it. I mean maybe I'm a little bias since I'm a bit obsessed with it..... but come on
When I first heard this song like forever ago, it was love at first sight. And tbh, I'm just falling more in love with this song every time I replay it.
never trust anyone that skips the intro to this song
millie wood exactly
Omg.
facts
yes
soo true holy this intro is fire flames
This makes me want to drive around at night and have the sun never come up.. it that weird
// Speaking The Truth Mate //
same same
Not at all.
I feel that way all the time bro
let me come with you haha sounds fun :p
love how this song's literally about cocaine at a wedding yet it's still the most beautiful sound i've heard in my life
Marijuana at a wedding
Asa White True, but to "rail a racket" is to do a line of cocaine.
Asa White Its about cocaine. Matty used to be a coke addict.
Ya, “rail a racket off a porcelain basin” just means he was doing a line of coke on the back of a toilet 😂

i dont get why everyone hates the instrumental part of the song when i fricken love it like oh my god
Omg same it's like a dramatic yet stunning entrance
samee
Mallory Foshizzle sammeeee it sort of reminds me of whale sounds idek
Mallory Foshizzle i honestly listened to this song for the first time just now. the intro is so serene, but then they just come crashing in with the vocals. great song! i just wish the would've stuck with that vibe for the whole song
Maddie Um Every time I play this song from now on I'll think of whales. THANKS :p

This song makes me want to wake up at 4:00 when its dark and just randomly walk around my downtown area. And just walk alone but happy at what I see and how cold it is.
That's all I can think of right now. Thanks, Molly
+Skye Troy You put exactly how I feel into words, except I picture myself walking around London haha!
Literally same
I actually couldn't sleep one night and so I went outside to my front yard and played this over and over and when the sun rose it literally felt like i was the only one in the world... and then the neighbors started to wake up and the birds started chirping so I turned it off and went inside but listening to this song over and over all night was such a private experience because it felt like the rest of the world was sleeping and the world felt quiet and everything was at peace, even though it was just for a moment.

"Well I only brought 3, what you lookin' at me for?"
She's dressed in white and putting off crying.
"Well you're the best man, so what's the plan?
Why don't you talk to Matty about it?"
I said, "I only brought 3 like I told you before,
We're gonna have to ask about."
Free bar, that's the point.
Spilling Amaretto 'cause of previous joints.

Who's he? Giving it the lips?
I've never seen him knockin' about.
He looks just like me, but 6 foot 3,
So I reckon you could knock him out.

I never really got on with your bird the first time
I met her out, dressed in nowt, telling everybody you were shagging about."
Well, who's this? Going for the kiss,
I'm probably gonna yosh in your mouth.
Because it's 5 past 3, I can hardly see and I'm on the verge of passing out.

God bless you
THANK YOU
midnstellarcupcakes thanks

+Adriana Gomez yeah same for pressure i think

Cool Duck five years later and the message is still there, you ducking legend
lmao is this song compass you to switch your original profile pic?
this. song. is. too. short. i. need. more.
he said what he needed to say
I have the album on my laptop and phone but it is nice to read the comments of fellow 1975 fans, love to you all
i feel you
kikikiki
Driving home late at night kinda song.
cant tell you how many times that was exactly what I did getting off work from my ambulance shifts. lonely but in a good way.
From the job I don't have
Every 1975 is for driving though a well lit city at night in my opinion.
Didn't really get around this song until I saw them live for the second time. When it all goes black, and the drums light up every time there hit, then Matty starts singing ! So gooodd, absolute tuneee
hCaden MacDonald rupdH
when i listen to 1975 all i think about is being young, doing crazy things, making mistakes and finally finding myself.
Holy shit all of the 1975 songs are just gold man 😭😭😭😭
Why the fuck can't this song be longer???? Needs to be a Menswear pt 2
agreed.
Damn Straight
kikiki
The first minute makes me think of a pod of whales, just singing to each other. As odd as that sounds, I find it very relaxing and beautiful.
2:18 “He looks just like me, but six foot three” that line always makes me smile and think of the underrated genius that is George Daniel.
Why's that?
like, i know it's the length of a normal song but?? it's nOT LoNg eNOUGH???????
maeonmonday it’s because of the long instrumental in the beginning. It’s beautiful, but our brains don’t perceive the song as starting until the lyrics begin.
I know this is two years old but why do people type like this
It's not even a question why are there so many question marks
every 1975 songs
same thing with milk
I agree, I wish they had more verses innit
listening to all The 1975 songs with headphones on, eyes closed is truly just the greatest musical experience ever
Try the 8D audio version with headphones…unreal. Feels like you’re at their concert live.
Well I only bought three what you lookin' at me for?
She's dressed in white and putting off crying
vonnie_yo well you're the best man so what's the plan?
why don't you talk to Matty about it?
Coz I only bought three like I told you before
You didn't have to ask about it.
free bar, that's the point.
spilling Amaretto 'cause of previous joints.
I'm sitting with a girl, fortunate placing
Preceding railing racket of a porcelain basin.
all the british words in this song make me so happy
started to cry at the concert when they started to play this song
so freaking good live
I used to listen to this whole album driving to school for my night classes in downtown Milwaukee. Something about this entire album and night driving through a city at a coming of age time in life just hits different.

The fact that Matty and George was smoking and drinking as the melody played, at the concert. That was seriously everything. Everyone was dacing to the beat and smiling. best concert
Prefer this so much to Love Me. This seems to have so much thought and meaning behind it. By far the best song on this album. Learned all the lyrics in one day. X
+ProPoppleton same :)
+Diego Curioni oh I love how sad we both are! ;)
+ProPoppleton So much meaning. So much doing coke at a friend's wedding and shitz! :D
+Katniss Jacq was thinking the exact same 😂
Love Me actually made me take the 1975 more seriously, tbh. Like before I just took them for granted, but if the lyrics in that song are very self aware. Although I admit this is my favourite song.
Singing along to this song is about the extent of my rap skills...
This made me laugh. 💕👌
How are you doing with Loving Someone? Lol.
+CarryMe001 my heart is telling me the telly isn't telling me anything
+PyrocynicaI noice memes m90
Haha yeah same
I'll get this music video to 1,000,000 views alone.
Too much love for it.
well get to it
it will take you 2 years
Balaur Teodora rly?
This song goes well with wine.
+benxxx pauuu could not have said it better myself
+benxxx pauuu first time I'd ever heard this song I was just getting a buzz and my head lit up with no warning and I lost balance, it was awesome.
+benxxx pauuu anything goes well with wine
this song goes well with anything
Amaretto like the song implies
the 1975 is my girlfriends favorite band. i like it too now
One of my old friends used to listen to this band, even went to one of their live shows when they were just sprouting up back in the early 2010s. He’s not with us anymore. I’m still bumping this album, Carlos. Miss you, bro.
it took me three months to know the lyrics to menswear by heart i may now add it to my resume
LOVE THAT SONG!
The first half sounds like Owl City, dreamy and soothing :)
Love it!
Il tell you a story. My friends and I were rowing across the mediterranean for a charity event we decided to do. As it got dark and the night sky lit up totally free of light pollution. We looked up and witnessed the incredible Milky Way in all its glory. As we all gazed in awe at the night sky, a whales blowhole made us jump and excited.

omg that's so cool!
thats pretty dope
idk why but I'm in love with the way he says 'why dont you talk to Matty about it'
sounds so so beautiful, gets me everytime
"Who's he, giving you the lips? I've never seen him knockin about. He looks just like me, but 6 foot 3, so I reckon you could knock him out." Love love love them, so excited to see them next month
Well I only brought 3, what you lookin' at me for?
She's dressed in white and putting off crying.

I never really got on with your bird the first time
I met her out, dressed in nowt, telling everybody you were shagging about.
Well, who's this? Going for the kiss,
I'm probably gonna yosh in your mouth.
Because it's 5 past 3, I can hardly see and I'm on the verge of passing out.
ErinBradyTV I'm assuming you looked up those lyrics ;) We all know its impossible to understand all of what Matt Healy says by listening :)
+Zara Wani I'm american and I can understand 80% of what he says
I guess I was trained in the art of hearing indie lyrics
Do I wanna know what "I'm gonna yosh in your mouth" means?
+Emily throw up
+Zara Wani Um, yeah, that's what that means. I don't know what the heck you think that refers to, but in the context of the song he's drunk and high.
58 people need to get their lives together
I agree
for real tho
Now 91 people need to get their lives together
Joel Pirela 94 people!!
Marina Love 95
No one cares why your here. Just relax and enjoy the music
100% agree -_-
Anime fans 🙈🙉🙊😅
+PyrocynicaI leafy fans...
+German Pancake Did not expect to see you here!
Tristan Sharp lol hai
Such a wonderful song, love especially the instrumentals, really draws you in...
this song and m.o.n.e.y are my absolute favorites, they've got this steady groove to them and its unlike any rock music i've heard lately
The memories of driving down the motorway, windows down, 3am after a tough shift really hits me in the feels, this song has been a blessing for those times I can't lie
absolute best 1975 song. never ceases to amaze me. with the instrumental to matty to just how calming it all is. wow.
this song just makes me want to drive a really expensive car.
I like your style, kid.
Steal one kid
it has been 5 years since you posted that comment. i hope you are able to buy an expensive car now, if not in the near future :))
Hope you're listening this in your expensive car at high vol in the night and not caring about the world. 🙌🏼
This song makes me want to do cocaine at a wedding.
So relaxing, my favorite song by them.
in love with the 1975 so much i can't get enough of their music ugh
I bought this album and my first Hi-Fi on the same night on Black Friday a few years ago. No album has made me cry since. It's instrumental, heart warming and heart-breaking all in one. It shaped me but being a kid, isn't that what music does?

This is one of my favorites...actually all the songs on the album are my favorite. They do not disappoint
This...is simply the most perfect mixture of sounds to grace my eardrums.
TAKE ME AWAY.
if you skip the instrumental at the beginning then you're not a true fan.
that's my favourite part 😂😜
True.
That's actually my fav part, I wish it lasted for hours ;)
Thats my favorite part 😂👌🏼
nicole fuentes lol
Menswear the GOAT. I love how the lyrics flow so effortlessly. The vibe is immaculate.
I love this song so much, but my Mom is constantly irritated with me because I try to sing the whale noises.
OMG i'm laughing so hard 😂😂😂

+Taeminnie JongKey SHAWOL!! sorry I couldn't help but notice ur name. All i'm thinking of is whalien 52 -bts when u said whale noises lool

This comment made my life
this song is honest to god the greatest song ever written i would Die for this musical masterpiece
This song puts me in a chill mood and I love that
by far one of my favourite songs by them, the instrumental part is amazing
This song is my favourite because i feel you can connect with it. The melody is just so wavy and cool
i love this song so much xxx
isn't even fair that this song is this perfect, i'm deeply in love with it, from start to end.
This song perfectly captures the feelings I've had buzzed and bar hopping in a city. Love it!
literally my fav so much
I need more of this.. it's not long enough
Been coming back to this on and off for 8 years now and the instrumental never ever gets dull or the lyrics cause they are fucking mint
This song gives me such good vibes, it always puts me in such a good mood.
This song is so beautiful I LOVE IT
soaring through space listening to the soothing sounds of the menswear!
This song is pure perfection I don't understand how anyone could dislike it. I mean maybe I'm a little bias since I'm a bit obsessed with it..... but come on
I love them so muchhhh !!!!
When I first heard this song like forever ago, it was love at first sight. And tbh, I'm just falling more in love with this song every time I replay it.
tough to imagine so me of these songs will be a decade old in a couple years
They will still sound just as good, the best music never dates....
geez 7 years already '-'
This has been my morning alarm since high school haha
This song feels great. And I listen to "People" after "menswear". I mean, their songs are bliss.
love this song so much
This is basically the only thing that is making me happy right now. Thank you The 1975 for being amazing.
There is magic in this track. It sways ✨
my favourite from their album, in love
This song let me feel something that I can't explain...amazing
This. Song. Is...I can't even think of the right words to describe what I'm feeling right now.
that crunching noise always makes me think of chucky cheese with the ticket machines
sounds like minecraft or something its very strange
OMG i hadn't thought about that sound in years! ahhhhh now it's all i see when i hear it :) nostalgia
Sarah Ramsey lol
LMAO WHAT!! I knew it reminded me of something now ik THANK U
This song make me chill everytime love this
one of my all time favs!
This song puts me in a different zone! I feel like a trancedimensional space goat.
this song is literally so epic i might cry
Instrumental hype train here. I love how close sandwiching a rush of smooth lyrics like that comes to captures the feeling of blacking out.
So chilled and relaxing, love it!
The instrumental is the whole art of the song. The vocals are tethered to suit the instrumental.
IT'S FIVE PAST THREE I CAN HARDLY SEE AND I'M ON THE VERGE OF PASSING OUT
ive been trying to find a band with this vibe and im so happy i finally found it
Forever my favourite song!!! LOVE!
Hope they bring a new album out soon !!
lol the intro isn't long enough for me.
Listen to this so often, yet I still get goosebumps each time
can not get enough of this song
This song is amazing live
