VERSE
No Buses
Arctic Monkeys
Lady, where has your love gone?
I was looking but can't find it anywhere
They always offer when there's loads of love around
But, when you're short of some, it's nowhere to be found
Well, I know your game, you told him yesterday
No chance, you'll get nothin' from me
But now she's there, you're there, everybody's there
He's in turmoil, as puzzled as can be
Just like me
Let's go down, down, low down
Where I know I should not go
Oh and she thinks she's the one
But she's just one in 24
And just 'cause everybody's doin' it
Does that mean that I can, too?
Lady, where has your love gone?
It was the anti-septic to the sore
To hold you by the hand
Must be first, be in demand
How he longs for you to long for him once more
Just once more
Let's go down, down, low down
Where I know I should not go
Oh and she thinks she's the one
But she's just one in 24
And just 'cause everybody's doin' it
Does that mean that I can, too? Oh...
Her eyes went down and cut you up
And there's nothing like a dirty look from
The one you want, or the one you've lost
An ache in your soul is everybody's goal
To get what they can't have
That's why you're after her
And that's why she's after him
But sayin' it wont change a thing
And they'll realise that it wont change a thing
Realise that it wont change a thing

About this Song
No Buses by Arctic Monkeys explores themes of unrequited love and the sense of resignation that comes with it. The lyrics paint a picture of a relationship where one person feels left out and ignored, likening it to waiting for a bus that never comes. Key themes include heartbreak, emotional isolation, and the acceptance of an unfulfilled longing. Particularly poignant moments in the song include lines that highlight the futility of waiting for something that may never happen, as well as the emotional numbness that follows repeated disappointments.
