    This guy is untouchable. One of the few genuine song writers of our generation. This is the band that our children will to be listening to in thirty years time, while we're fullfilling our adult responsibilities and overcoming vivid sentiments.

    the lyrics meticulously translate what someone’s unwanted departure feels like… also, the absence of anger, replaced by frustration and melancholy, is the perfect portrait of a found look towards a person. I'll always be in awe of Alex for this piece.

    Do you still feel younger than you thought you would by now?
    Or darling, have you started feeling old yet?
    Don't worry, I'm sure that you're still breaking hearts
    With the efficiency that only youth can harness
    And do you still think love is a Laserquest?
    Or do you take it all more seriously?
    I've tried to ask you this in some daydreams that I've had
    But you're always busy being make-believe
    And do you look into the mirror to remind yourself you're there?
    Or have somebody's goodnight kisses got that covered?
    When I'm not being honest, I pretend that you were just some lover
    Now I can't think of there without thinking of you
    I doubt that comes as a surprise
    And I can't think of anything to dream about
    I can't find anywhere to hide
    And when I'm hanging on by the rings around my eyes
    And I convince myself I need another
    And for a minute it gets easy to pretend that you were just some lover
    When I'm pipe and slippers and rocking chair
    Singing dreadful songs about summer
    Will I have found a better method
    Of pretending you were just some lover?
    Will I have found a better method
    Of pretending you were just some lover?

    this song is amazingly emotionless emotional.. if you get what i mean. it's like he's on the brink of insanity after being subjected to psychological torture by this girl.
    i'm sure we have all faced this type of girl in our lives.. you know that girl who hooks on as many guys as she can without getting involved in any, just for the her own pleasure. this is my favourite song atm because of how bizzarely it relates to me and the godly lyircs.
    i think this might be referring to alexa chung.

    @narut13 I think you make a valid point. You have to put yourself in the position of the other members - you're playing bass (for example) in one of the biggest and best bands in the world, and your frontman writes new songs that are all a certain style.. Do you embrace that natural progression, and accept that it is becoming increasingly about Turner (on certain tracks - not all), or do you try and alter the new material to be more like the previous album (which could be counter-productive)..
