ARCTIC MONKEYS: ideas for tracks for album

D IS FOR DANGEROUS


This song is a fast and upbeat track



Lyrics:
He knew what he wanted to say
But he didn't know how to word it
The dirty little Herbert
Was thinking an escape
But the place was well guarded

The guiltiness that started
Soon as the other part had stopped

D is for Delightful
And try and keep your trousers on
I think you should know you're his favourite worst nightmare
D is for...

Desperately trying to stimulate what it was that was alright
3 quarters of an hour ago
That had led him to be in a position

And every compromising
Another freak episode

He's nearing the brink but he thinks first
The parallel universe perhaps could be the perfect scene
He's nearing the brink but he thinks first
The parallel universe perhaps could be the perfect scene
He's nearing the brink but he thinks first
The parallel universe perhaps could be the perfect scene
He's nearing the brink but he thinks first
The parallel
I think you should know you're his favourite worst nightmare

D is for delightful
And try and keep your trousers on
You should know you're his favourite worst nightmare

Idea for music video:
• Teenage boy in a girls house with a girl getting off on the bed
• suddenly the door flies open as the track drops
• we then cut to the dad chasing the boy out of the house
• he is carrying his jeans and half putting his shirt on
• for the rest of the song we follow the chase through the town and bit by bit the boy finally has his clothes on

The inspiration from this chase idea has come from ‘we are scientists’ music video with the bear chasing the band.


TEMPTATION GREETS YOU LIKE YOUR NAUGHTY FRIEND- featuring Dizzee Rascal




This song is about tough times that teenagers have to go through. The themes being, peer pressure, temptations, influences.
This song is about teenager’s lives and how they can get tempted and pressured to do things and influenced by friends that aren’t really that good a friend. They are in fact “naughty friends” getting you into trouble, etc.
Even though u should hate them, u feel like you can’t.
This comes out clearly through the lyrics of the song:


I don't ever want to hate you,
So don't show me your bed,
The only roads are cul-de-sacs,
The first thing that she said.

Temptation, greets you like your naughty mate,
The one that used to get you in bother,
But one you could never bring yourself to hate.

And she said we've got that spark,
That only lights a fuse,
Helps you see in the dark,
But it's a sight you'll lose when,
The temptation greets you like your naughty friend.

I don't ever want to hate you,
So don't show me your bed,
The only roads are cul-de-sacs,
The only ends are dead.

Temptation greets you like your naughty mate,
One that made you steal and set things on fire,
But one you haven't seen of late.

And I said that kind of talk,
Only adds intrigue,
To the cauldron of thought,
It's already exceeding,
Temptation, the very thing that held her back.

I don't ever want to hate you,
So don't show me your bed,
The only roads are cul-de-sacs,
The only ends are dead.

I don't ever want to hate you,
It's not part of the plan,
So keep your charm where I can't see it,

And your hands where I can.

{Dizzee Rascal}

We used to be in tight me and my naughty friends,
Caused enticement[?] in the air,
I mean day 'n' night,
We robbed, we stole, we loved to fight,
Smoking, drinking, joyriding,
Drugs, thugs, not law-abiding,
Reckless gangsters[?] no direction,
No sign of correction,
But then i switched it off,
Changed my ways,
What the hell!
Like oh my days ,
But like my naughty friends,
They're not phased,
Can't believe that this music pays,
See no reason why we can't do,
All the things we've always done,
Still in my heart I know thats just what,
But its hard to fight the temptation son.

{Arctic Monkeys}

The panic will fall down around you,
If you don't do what i say.

I don't ever want to hate you,
So don't show me your bed,
The only roads are cul-de-sacs,
The only ends are dead.

I don't ever want to hate you,
It's not part of the plan,
So keep your charm where I can't see it,
And your hands where I can




All teenagers can relate to situations like these
Ideas for the video:
Shots of teenagers smoking, drinking, fighting
Knives, hoods,
Night time, car parks
Gatherings
Stealing things
