Arctic Monkeys – Mardy Bum

Yet another excellent Arctic Monkeys song, to be honest one of my favourites along with “When The Sun Goes Down.” A great story of a quarrelsome pair, whose love and peace is disturbed by the female’s quarrelsomeness & disappointment in her eyes.

Enjoy – and check my other Arctic Monkeys videos!

Lyrics:

Now then Mardy Bum
I’ve seen your frown and it’s like looking down the barrel of a gun
And it goes off
And out come all these words
Oh there’s a very pleasant side to you
A side I much prefer

It’s one that laughs and jokes around
Remember cuddles in the kitchen yeah
To get things off the ground
And it was, up up and away
Oh, but it’s right hard to remember that
On a day like today
When you’re all argumentative
And you’ve got the face on

Now then Mardy Bum
Oh I’m in trouble again, aren’t I?
I thought as much
Cause you turned over there
Pulling that silent disappointment face
The one that I can’t bear

Why can’t we just laugh and joke around…?
Remember cuddles in the kitchen yeah
To get things off the ground
And it was, up up and away
Oh, but it’s right hard to remember that
On a day like today
When you’re all argumentative
And you’ve got the face on

Yeah, I’m sorry I was late
But I missed the train
And then the traffic was a state
And I can’t be arsed to carry on in this debate
That reoccurs, oh when you say I don’t care
But of course I do, I clearly I do!

Just laugh and joke around
Remember cuddles in the kitchen yeah
To get things off the ground
And it was, up up and away
Oh, but it’s right hard to remember that
On a day like today
When you’re all argumentative
And you’ve got the face on
