Arctic Monkeys - Curtains Closed Lyrics

sounds like a White Stripes song

Is just me or this song seems like a skate videogame soundtrack?

I so wanted it long but she cut it short
And now I'm catching a cold
I told you not but no crack in the doobie
But it was already rolled

Oh, I turned down my lights
And my curtains weren't closed
I turned down my lights
And my curtains weren't closed
Oh well, I turned down my lights
And my curtains weren't closed last night
Oh baby, I must be mad

Well, I don't care about your massage oils
It's got my skin going red
Cause I'm a mad mother-fucker
With my curtains open
Sitting tucked up in bed

I turned down my lights
And my curtains weren't closed
I turned down my lights
And my curtains weren't closed
Oh well, I turned down my lights
And my curtains weren't closed last night
Oh baby, I must be mad

I said I wanted it long but she cut it short
And now I'm catching a cold
I told you not but no crack in the doobie
But it was already rolled

[Chorus]
Oh, I turned down my lights
And my curtains weren't closed
I turned down my lights
And my curtains weren't closed
Oh well, I turned down my lights
And my curtains weren't closed last night
Oh baby, I must be mad

[Verse 2]
Well, I don't care about your massage oils
It's got my skin going red
Cause I'm a mad mother-fucker
With my curtains open
Sitting tucked up in bed

[Chorus]
I turned down my lights
And my curtains weren't closed
I turned down my lights
And my curtains weren't closed
Oh well, I turned down my lights
And my curtains weren't closed last night
Oh baby, I must be mad

is it just me or this song feels like a mashup of Mardy Bum and Black Treacle in certain parts?

When they were still simple young-lads from Yorkshire

Sheffield*

Ben Swinburne Sheffield is in Yorkshire

Still are bud!!! But have grown & changed with the Times!!!

oh, really too short to make love...

All anybody really needs is 30 seconds KKona

Not for me xD

No, Gilmour and Waters are poets

The first two chords remember Black Treacle

This one is just a demo but the picture is from 'favourite worst nightmare'

in which album are these song?

fredbmusic demos

I'm sitting tucked up in bed with my curtains open right now ^ - ^

My dad always tells me to turn off my lights when I open my curtains :) Great Song

:o CURATINS CLOSE 0:2

@lukejones65
Oh I thought it was a B side song, but Favourite Worst Nightmare still being the best album....

@Paradiddleye This aint from Favourite Worst Nightmare

@blah14ify It's a really early demo from before the first album so his voice is gonna sounds different.

@TheRobotStarfish96 Hah yeah i'd wish...

I seriously love his accent but being born greek isn't really helping me understand it -.-

i'm american and i can't understand over 5 words

favourite worst nightmare is the best album ever

the beginning riff sounds like Plan B- stay too long

how have i not heard this already??!! its genius! nice one, turner

@menamesjames I think it's sex still. "I said I want it long but she cut it short and now I'm catching a cold" could be how he wanted a long night of pure sex, but it was cut short by being walked in on, and now he's cold for some reason. Possibly from a cold shower?

@OSV2536 only guitar i think but do agree

the intro is banging

@DSPoductions not on any album... yet

Is this song about being walked in on while having sex?

btw I didn't know short joint could make you sick, catching cold! You never stop learning!

omg everyone's talking about curatins/curtains .. that was clearly a mistake. calm down people!
marryMeAlex

@DSPoductions the name of the album is FAVOURITE WORST NIGHTMARE

what's the album name?

Alex Turner is a poet and Matt Helders his heels.

anyone else noticed how amazing artics b-sides are compared to their album songs? dont get me wrong their album tunes are mint, but some of these just pull the carpet from beneath you

O.O .. Great !!

Where are all these B-sides from?

Hi) ten years question

sounds so much like the strokes ...
sick songg

probably just sound affects to make the sound have the feel it does. Good ears tho :O

Why does Alex sound so different?

Yeah... Why? ^_^
