VERSE
The View From The Afternoon
Arctic Monkeys
Anticipation has the habit to set you up
For disappointment in evening entertainment but
Tonight there'll be some love
Tonight there'll be a rawkus, regardless of what's gone before
I want to see all of the things that we've already seen
The lairy girls hung out the window of the limousine
And of course its fancy dress
And they're all looking quite full on
In bunny ears and devil horns
I want to see all of the things that we've already seen
I want to see you take the jackpot out the fruit machine
And put it all back in
You've got to understand it you can never beat the bandit
And she won't be surprised and she won't be shocked
When she's pressed the star after she's pressed unlock
And there's verse and chapter sat in her inbox
And all that it says is that you've drank a lot
You should bear that in mind tonight
You can pour your heart out but her reasoning will block
owt you send her after nine o clock
You can pour your heart out around 3 o clock
When the 2 for 1's undone the writers block

The song paints a vivid picture of an evening out, filled with anticipation, excitement, and eventual letdown. Key themes revolve around youthful exuberance, the thrill of nights out, and the cyclical nature of such experiences. Poignant moments include the chorus, which highlights the predictable nature of these nights even while they feel exhilarating in the moment.
