Perhaps Vampires Is A Bit Strong But...

Song byArctic Monkeys

in AlbumWhatever People Say I Am, That's What I'm Not

I've seen your eyes as they fix on me what is he doing what on earth is the

Plan has he got one

You better give me some pointers since you are the big rocket launcher and

I'm just the shot gun,

I ant got no dollar signs in my eyes that might be a surprise but its true

I'm not like you and I don_t want your advice or your praise or to move in

The ways you do

All you people are vampires

All your stories are stale

Though you pretend to stand by us

Though you're certain we'll fail

I've seen you're eyes as they fix on me full of confusion your snarl is just

So condescending

Trying to explain that we're on to a win if the fee we get in near recoups

What we're spending

He said I can't believe that you drove all that way well how much did they

Pay ya how much did they pay ya, You'd have been better to stay round our Way

Thinking about things but not actually doing things
