Arctic Monkeys - Riot Van Lyrics

Here I am, slow dancing at midnight with my imaginary boyfriend to a song about underage drinking

I miss 2006 and I was born in 2005

Eu vibro

I miss those times.. Please take me back there

God I'm so in love with this

Cheers 🍻🍻🍻

2019 ??

We had this song in drama lol

Someone listening in 2019? I begin listening Arctic Monkeys when i was 13 and now i'm almost 20... This band was literally my whole adolescence

Christian Magalhães I am mate dw

Whatever

This song reminds me a rainy day

1:33 to 1:50 heaven...

The demo version is better than original

Nostalgic bro

took me ages to find

i remember having this song on repeat and laying on the floor in the middle of my room just crying... highschool was so much fun

One of my favourites. Alex don't write em like this anymore.

Reminds me so much of my childhood

Esta no es la real, no no.

It’s the story of my youth put into a song lol

Flashbacks of rainy days, smoking under bridges with a bottle of cheap crumpton oak cider, blasting this song with the boys, having laughs. Memories i'll never forget!

I wish they would perform these classics now. But then again im afraid if they do, itd be disappointing.

My favorite kariyokee song

2018 November..

i miss the good ol days, being just an indie kid, wearing skinny jeans and dirty chuck taylors.... live was so much easier....

I remember that the songs from this album were one of the first that i learned on the electric guitar. :´)

Epitome of nostalgia

Lyrics

So up rolls a riot van
And sparks excitement in the boys
But the policemen look annoyed
Perhaps these are ones they should avoid

Got chased last night
From men with truncheons dressed in hats
We didn't do that much wrong
Still ran away though for the laugh
Just for the laugh
And please just stop talking cause they won't find us if you do
Oh those silly boys in blue
Well they won't catch me and you

Have you been drinking son, you don't look old enough to me
I'm sorry officer, is there a certain age you're supposed to be, cause nobody told me

And up rolls the riot van
And these lads just wind the coppers up
They ask why they don't catch proper crooks
They get their address and their names took
But they couldn't care less

Thrown in a riot van
And all the coppers kicked him in
And there was no way he could win
Just had to take it on the chin

i love so much when Alex says "and please just stop talking cause they won't find us if you do"

we got a chase last night

when the ad takes longer than the actual AM music

This song will forever hold a place in my heart. I will use it on my channel playlist!

gives me a sense of nostalgia i didnt know i had

Reminiscing and this has to be part of the best album ever! Revolutionary and poetic catches everything perfect. Wish that they returned to this style of writing. Quests we all grow up😞

coming here after hotel blabla whatever, no hate it's just not my shit anymore, miss these golden days 😳😳

i mean please slow down on the crooner voice dear lord its tough to grow up i suppose

what TBH&C shouldve sounded like

This is way too short..

all those silly boys in blue

Hopefully AM is done..

The AM fans can’t find us here!

beebjank it’s shit compared to their first two albums tho.

VintageLazer SAYS THE MAC DEMARCO BOI

VintageLazer facts I actually like him

@juliaa Hating an album and claiming to be the better fan makes you seem more pretentious than people who dick ride.

What if I love AM and their debut album too?

i appreciate my music taste

I wouldn't be surprised if Cage the Elephant listened to a lot of Arctic Monkeys when making Tell Me I'm Pretty. There is clearly a lot of influence in the lyrics

anyone here 2018 ? <3

who else is stoked for the 2018 album??

Piola la cancion pero guada está mas buena ahre

Bonjourrrr

For the laugh, just for the laugh...

The nostalgic feeling of this song im crying

Criminally underrated

Chillin song

But the police men look annoyed
Perhaps these are ones they should avoid

omg how the fuck was i about 4 when this came out it seems like yesterday

Most songs that are 2 min long are usually some of the most best songs. Love these guys

Chilling

I miss my girlfriend :(

She gone chief

masterpiece cant wait for the new album

I think anyone can relate to this song

This kind of music makes me nostalgic

Sadly 1 of the only reasons I'm proud to be from Sheffield

love their old music so much..

drunken Fridays pissing off cops and feeling invincible and omnipotent....this song captures that feeling flawlessly

I'm gonna go crash a plane while listening to this song!

brilliant

This song sums up our childhood days a little too well...

muito amazing mas dura pouco, pena :(

too bad this song would not be played at AM gigs

This is perfection... <3

I'm only 15 and this song is better than any shit songs today

i'm a fetus

I'm glad you say this. And I agree, songs like this are better than modern songs with their shitty lyrics.

No one cares, I'm only 3 and i have been listening to this shit for 45 and a half year. So piss off you loser.

Seus gringo aki em Br na veia huehuehuehue

mr robot kkk

Jajajajajaja

Akakaksjsk vdd

This song gives me a raging erection.

WTF HAHA

McLovin A lot of songs do that.

Normally Sheffield and Hull accents make my ears bleed although his isn't too bad maybe...

Hannah Lawrencium Lol

I came here because of my excellent taste in music :3

Myrto Zacharopoulou bragging much

WE ARE GETTING OLD :(

Daxsen Music Group [DMG International] 11 years!

You said it

David Beckham red card vs Argentina. Anybody?

Prithvi Prakash what?

@Manny Lasso there was this video which had Beckham getting a red card vs Argentina. It had this very song in the background. I think it got taken down though.

this ant the original!

who came here because Cigarette daydreams?

From CTE? What's the link between the songs? I must know ._.

i think it´s because they sound similar in some places

They both have that distinct Dmaj7 chord

marwan betmen meeeeee

marwan betmen ME

If you listened to the demo version you can easily understand what I'm saying. I have a theory about the song. I think Alex's had a group of friends. They were underage but drinking. Cops were trying to catch them because of little crimes they commited. But they didn't give a fuck and were having fun. At the end of the song, cops caught one of them. I think he was Alex. In demo version the story continues. His other friends managed to run away with a van. But they lost control and died. It makes sense..

the monkeys Congrats! You know how to look up a song on Genius.com.

@Not True Scotsman That's just my idea?

The last verse made me think his friend was beat up by cops but maybe I've watched too much tv

Nasu Possu yeah they beat him up, that’s actually common in most places round Britain especially South Yorkshire where they’re from, police are brutal

this song gives me weird feelings but in a good way

Fuck yes...

me recuerda a los viejos tiempos, buenísima

10000th like. Just saying, I would give all those 9999 other likes for this song. And while I'm at it, I'll do all the likes for the band.

Ahh takes me back to the young team days

Dannybhoy1 defo mate yaldy here we....

but i couldn't care less...

This reminds me of the weeknd

how tho...

haha indeed, how the f
