Arctic Monkeys - Perhaps Vampires Is A Bit Strong But... Lyrics






I've seen your eyes as they fix on me
What is he doing
What on earth's the plan
Has he got one

You better give me some pointers
Since you are the big rocket launcher
And I'm just the shotgun

Well I ain't got no dollar signs in my eyes
That might be a surprise
But it's true
Said I'm not like you

And I don't want your advice
Or your praise or to move in the ways
You do, and I never will

'Cause all you people are vampires
And all your stories are stale
And though you pretend to stand by us
I know you're certain we'll fail

Well I've seen your eyes
As they fix on me
Full of confusion
Your snarl is just so condescending

Try 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 you?
How much did they pay ya?

You'd have been better to stay round our way
Thinking about things but not actually doing the things

'Cause all you people are vampires
And all your stories are stale
And though you pretend to stand by us
I know you're certain we'll fail

'Cause all you people are vampires
And all your stories are stale
And though you pretend to stand by us
I know you're certain we'll fail

All you people are vampires!

    Great song and great artist !
    I’m french, and I don’t get the meaning of the song. Anyone ?

    R.... B....

    It seems to be about the corruption and money grubbing of the music industry, comparing record labels to Vampires sucking their clients of all they can take from them as soon as they invite them in

    R.... B....

    my take is that they are talking baout groupies and hanger ons

  10. P.... M....

    Thinkin bout things but not actually doin the things.

    P.... M....

    that's how it is

    P.... M....

    Sad to admit it, but yes: that's me ...Trying to do the things though.

    And I don't want your advice
    Or your praise or to move in the ways
    You do, and I never will

    2:19 the bass 😍

  20. r.... ....

    *_AlL yOu PeOpLe ArE vAmPiReS!!_*

  21. G.... ....

    This is probably the best song on the album.

    G.... ....

    After all the other ones I guess

    G.... ....

    Well, I'd say A Certain Romance, From the Ritz to the Rubble, The View ..., Fake Tales...,I Bet ...,When the Sun ..., Riot Van and Dancing Shoes are a bit better...

  22. C.... D....

    THE GOOD SHIT

  23. S.... o....

    SHAVE YOUR BEARD!!!

  24. P.... S....

    Vampires... aka AM fans

    P.... S....

    Patrick Stone the album or the band?

    P.... S....

    DimensionTwelve pretty sure the album because he wouldn’t know this song if he meant the band

    P.... S....

    @I'mSpecial not necessarily a bad thing. I dont know the context of vampires in this song though

    P.... S....

    @Colton Loney people who thought they were wasting time and money driving around england touring on their own, and tried to discourage them. They're saying in the song that they didn't really care for the money, they just wanted to play. Ironically, by distributing their music for free, the album became the fastest selling in uk history at the time

  25. J.... B....

    Don't worry: Vampires Will Never Hurt You.

    J.... B....

    Julia Broussard ayyyyy

    J.... B....

    Ahh! You know the song!

    J.... B....

    Goddamnit Gerard.

  26. j.... ....

    starting at 2:30 i like to imagine the singer just headbanging like a madman, thrashing the studio getting himself all worked up while the band keeps ramping up. then when its his turn to come back hes in the far back corner of the room, no where near the mic, shouts his line and then passes out from overexerting himself.

    j.... ....

    First name Last name i bet Alex would lol 😂

    j.... ....

    That is a very ‘alex’ thing to do

    j.... ....

    sounds like something alex would do haha

    j.... ....

    that has Alex written all over it

    j.... ....

    Sounds like something Alex Turner would do

  27. M.... E....

    God i love this song and album!

  28. T.... L....

    ALL YOU PEOPLE ARE VAMPIRES.

  29. H.... A....

    Angsty as fuck.

  30. N.... P....

    loveeeee(:
