Excellent song, fantastic video, unbelievable band...............CoolLadies and gentlemen i present, The Artic Monkeys   Leave Before The Lights Come On Well this is a good idea,

He wouldn't do it if it wasn't,

He wouldn't do it if it wasn't one.

Well my friend fancies you,

Oh what a way to begin it all,

You said it's always exciting words to hear

And we woke up together not quite realising how,

Oh when your stretching and yawning,

Its always hard in the morning,

And I suppose that's the price you pay,

Oh it isn't what it was,

She's thinking he looks different today,

And oh there's nothing left to guess now,

You left before the lights came on,

Because you didn't want to ruin,

All the lust that was brewing,

Before he absolutely had to,

And how can you wake up,

With someone you don't love?

And not feel slightly fazed by it,

Oh, he had a struggle,

And you woke up together not quite realising how,

Oh but he's stretching and yawning,

It's always hard in the morning,

And I suppose that's the price you pay,

Oh it isn't what it was,

She's thinking he looks different today,

And oh there's nothing left to guess now,

Quick, let's leave, before the lights come on,

'Cos then you don't have to see,

'Cos then you don't have to see,

What you've done,

Quick, let's leave, before the lights come on,

'Cos then you don't have to see,

'Cos then you don't have to see,

What you've done,

Until tomorrow comes,

I'll walk you up, what time's the bus come?

I'll walk you up, what time's the bus come?

I'll walk you up, what time's the bus come?

I'll walk you up, what time's the bus come?

 Arctic Monkeys are an English four-piece indie rock/post-punk revival band from High Green, a suburb of Sheffield. Their first two singles, "I Bet You Look Good on the Dancefloor" and "When the Sun Goes Down", went straight to number one in the UK Singles Chart[1], while their debut album Whatever People Say I Am, That's What I'm Not became the fastest-selling debut album in British music history. Formed in 2002, the band currently consists of Alex Turner on lead vocals and guitar, Jamie Cook on guitar, Matt Helders on drums and backing vocals and Nick O'Malley on bass guitar, a position formerly held by Andy Nicholson.Unlike many of their contemporaries, who were marketed and advertised extensively by record labels, Arctic Monkeys achieved their success through fan-made demo tapes and online file-sharing, with fans singing along at gigs to songs which had never been officially released,[2] leading media commentators to discuss the possibility of a sea change in the way in which new bands are promoted and marketed.[3] The band resisted signing to a major record label, even banning talent scouts from gigs. Eventually, the band signed to independent record label Domino Records, releasing their first album Whatever People Say I Am, That's What I'm Not, which charted at number one and broke the record for the largest first week sales of a debut album in UK history. The band subsequently won several major music prizes for the album, including the 2006 Mercury Prize,[4] "Best New Act" at the 2006 Brit Awards and "Best New Band" and "Best British Band" at the NME Awards.[5]The overnight success of the band and the gritty, realistic nature of the lyrics of songs such as "When The Sun Goes Down" has led to the band being described as the "yardstick for all that is current and cool".[6] Despite such recognition, the members of the band remain notoriously media shy; they declined to appear on either Top of the Pops or CD:UK after "I Bet You Look Good On The Dancefloor" reached number one, while journalists described their behaviour during a press conference following winning the Mercury Prize as "petulant" and "argumentative".[7]The band's sophomore release Favourite Worst Nightmare is expected on April 23, 2007 [8].
