Arctic Monkeys - Too Much To Ask Lyrics






The smiles as she walked in the room have all turned into frowns
Am I too quick to assume that love is no longer in bloom?
The tantrums and the tears play a very different tune to what they did before
Her head's red raw and the ending doesn't sound like the happiest around
When you sobbed before it felt much more like the product of a squabble
Now there's reason for it to be something more
And no would be...

Oh, it's uncertain whether the curtain has shut for good
She says "See if it's still raining, I'm not dressed for it and if you loved me-"
Well I interrupted, received the scowl and stare
But still decided to stop her there

Would it be outrageous to say we're either shouting or we're shagging, docked in tempestuous bays?
At least that's how it felt yesterday
The eyes are getting heavier and whether you're asleep or awake is a mystery
Would a kiss be too much to ask?
When you fit me like Sunday's frozen pitch fits the thermos flask
It's a pity, it just hit me we can't go back to the chest touching on the back

  17. M.... S....

    Avril Lavigne was one of the writers?!?!

  18. H.... G....

    I'm guessing that editing those silent 1,30 minutes at the end was too much to ask.

  19. G.... P....

    The intro sounds like the intro to "Rupert Holmes - Him".

  20. J.... G....

    Supersonic!

  21. K.... ....

    The rhythm makes no sense compared to lyrics. Acoustic version sounds so much better :/

  22. N.... ....

    this one and despair in the departure lounge are their saddest songs definitely

    J.... B....

    Favorite worst nightmare

  43. V.... B....

    11 years ago and it still have ads

  44. J.... S....

    My fave am

  45. b.... b....

    One of the more underrated songs for sure

    b.... b....

    Social Handicap I just found it. I'm so happy I did

  46. t.... 1....

    We can't go back to the chest touching on the back. Fuck I still love you so much Allie, you haven't left my mind for a day. We can't go back but this Sicilian widows got heat stroke dressed in black.

  47. C.... M....

    tocar isso na big viola é a melhor coisa

  48. d.... d....

    Only found this song today, and I call myself an AM fan. Shame on me.

    d.... d....

    Shame on you. This is one of their best, i miss them good old albums.

    d.... d....

    donnie darko Same, shame on us

    d.... d....

    Same shame on us all

  49. M.... C....

    Fucking awesome.

  50. E.... H....

    This has so much of Humbug.. It's like that amazing era was starting to exist

    E.... H....

    I couldn't agree more, my friend. Humbug's a masterpiece btw

    E.... H....

    More like Humbug had so much of this

    E.... H....

    Maloriak #

    E.... H....

    More like a mix of humbug and Suck it and see

  51. B.... ....

    Did this make it onto the album? Amazed if not. This, Cornerstone and Left Before The Lights Came On are standout to me. Really good music and story telling too. Turner and co are legit but I wish Homme and the corporate bum boys would fuck off. This rockstar bullshit doesn't wash in 2018. It's entirely synthetic and there's plenty more interesting things to write about then why do(i) you only call me when you're high. 505 and Fluorescent Adolescent are awesome too, along with pretty much THhe whole OF their first Two Albums. Last The Shadow Puppets first Album WAs spectacular, But Unfortunately Followed Up By Something Tainted By THeir Egos\in PArody\meh (perhaps worth it for a song that illustrates the highs of a coked up ''superstar' so well' lead by a really clever drum beat). Anyway, im afraid to say the Album Art FOr The NEw ALlbum SPpells SHite 'N' All..

  52. e.... r....

    I found my new favorite

  53. Z.... H....

    Definitely my favorite song by them! With "Only one who knows" is a very very close second! Why didn't I listen to you guys back in 2010? :(

    Z.... H....

    Zane Harper i feel you, i wish i wouldve known about them so much earlier

    Z.... H....

    I so feel you, also those two are my top favourite songs too

    Z.... H....

    it's just the matter of frequency on your very own radio ;)

    Z.... H....

    This is from 2007 lmao

    Z.... H....

    Thankfully I did :D

  54. A.... �....

    "It just hit me we can't go back, to the chest touching on the back..."

  55. a.... m....

    Strong lyrics .

  56. m.... ....

    Μου λείπεις

  57. b.... b....

    this is pure awesomeness

  58. *.... *....

    It's been ten years....

  59. P.... l....

    10 years ago........

  60. Y.... ....

    This song had me on the first note.

  61. k.... ....

    almost 10 years after the upload. long live to this masterpiece

  62. D.... W....

    One of my favorites, would love to hear them play it again. 😊

  63. a.... b....

    "It's just hit me we can go back"

  64. d.... ....

    One of the best pop songs ever written.

  65. L.... C....

    How can people say AM is their best album when they used to write songs like this?

    L.... C....

    Because they now like reggaeton

    L.... C....

    I like AM but its by far their worst album, pretty basic instrumentally, not great written songs, too inconsistent and empty/similar songs

    L.... C....

    @Wishmaster gotta agree lol I love AM but it's shit compared to FWN & Humbug

    L.... C....

    I like each every one of their albums.

    L.... C....

    Perhaps because this isn't on an album?

  66. S.... ....

    "And If you loved me"
    I wish.....

  67. F.... a....

    "Would a kiss be too much to ask?"
    Right in the feels

  68. M.... ....

    This sound weirdly reminds me of my bitch of an ex girlfriend, who didn't give a fuck! :D

    M.... ....

    operator M4 mind explaining how?

  69. M.... ....

    my electronics examination has the feels of this song

  70. M.... M....

    The smiles as she walked in the room
    Have all turned into frowns
    Am I too quick to assume
    That the love is no longer in bloom?
    The tantrums and the tears
    Play a very different tune to what they did before

    Her head's red raw
    And the ending doesn't sound like
    The happiest around
    When you sobbed before it felt much more
    Like the product of a squabble
    Now there's reason for it to be something more

    And no would be, oh, it's uncertain
    Whether the curtain has shut for good
    She says, "See if it's still raining
    I'm not dressed for it,"
    And "if you loved me-"
    And I interrupt to receive the scowl and stare
    But still decided to stop her there

    Would it be outrageous to say
    We're either shouting or we're shagging
    Docked in tempestuous bays
    At least that's how it felt yesterday
    The eyes are getting heavier
    And whether you're asleep or awake

    Is a mystery
    Would a kiss be too much to ask?
    When you fit me as Sunday's frozen pitch
    Fits the thermos flask
    It's a pity, it just hit me, we can't go back
    To the chest touching on the back

    M.... M....

    Manca M ú

    M.... M....

    Manca M thanks, I'm singing ^_^

    M.... M....

    eyw reis

    M.... M....

    Only aflição

  71. m.... ....

  72. A.... M....

    But still decided to stop her there...

  73. G.... m....

    Wonderful♡♥:))

  74. J.... E....

    Found it just today, still amazed that I didn't find it earlier.

    J.... E....

    +Gaby thats why he said it. old is gold. basically you're old.

    J.... E....

    @deez135 nuatz Oh wow I didn't look at it that way...

    J.... E....

    +Gaby im just joking. obviously he couldn't have meant that. but i saw the connection, and just put it out their. u are cute BTW, and not in an old people are so cute/sweet kinda way ;)

    J.... E....

    @deez135 nuatz I know you were :) It was a funny connection. And ty ^-^

  75. J.... C....

    This isn't favourite worst nightmare...

    J.... C....

    It's a B-side from Fluorescent Adolescent, close enough that it's not really worth picking nits over I'd say...

  76. E.... O....

    1,000 subs now, congrats.

    E.... O....

    +Sour Oddity ok

    E.... O....

    @Elijah O'Brien  that's all I get? I was really hoping for a debate XD

    E.... O....

    +Sour Oddity I honestly just didn't have a rebuttle, I don't even remember posting this comment in the first place haha

    E.... O....

    @Elijah O'Brien lol, well have a good night :P

    E.... O....

    one of my favorite Arctic Monkeys' songs of all time :)

  78. u.... ....

    The profound silence at the end....

    u.... ....

    its cause this guy probs edited this with windows movie maker and set the image to last for 4:30 while the mp3 file lasts for 3 mins

    u.... ....

    Its the sound of deep thoughts.....

    u.... ....

    Valette everyone's overanalyzing this when I think you are probably right. Funny enough though

    u.... ....

    You're a dumbass if you actually liked this comment and agreed cause you thought it was something deep SMFH LMAO

    u.... ....

    @Dungeon Wall Chicken dam, truuuee

  79. V.... ....

    wonderful <3

    V.... ....

    I love it too <3

  80. A.... B....

    δωσε πονο Αλέκο!

    A.... B....

    +Larry Alfadanz προσκυνω.

    A.... B....

    Χαχαχαχα

  81. I.... A....

    Cuando sus canciones tenían calidad............

    I.... A....

    Bueno, supongo que esta discusion seguira dando vueltas. Acepto tu opinion, es cuestion de gustos.

    I.... A....

    ya basta de estos comentarios. te gustaban mucho antes? bien por ti. ya no te gustan ahora? excelente. pero que ganas con  estarlos criticando, aun asi son una banda muy buena comparado con todos esos que estan de "moda" ahorita y eso no lo puedes negar. asi que ya basta con la negatividad.

    I.... A....

    @starfun17 Quieor agregar a esta discución que tienen mejores b- sides que el último disco, me gusta también, es muy bueno, pero no me gusta tanto como los anteriores, sigue siendo buena música! (aunque AM está mejor que Suck it and See)

    I.... A....

    @Katriel Espino Falero si, no dije que AM sea el mejor disco(pero tambien de acuerdo que es mejor que suck it and see), pero es muy bueno aunque tenga un sonido diferente(las letras son excelentes). este tipo de personas que comentan que "ya no tienen calidad" o que "ya son una porqueria" son haters/hipsters que solo quieren hacer enojar a los demas.

    I.... A....

    ANTES ERAN MEJORES!
    AHORA SON BUENOS!

  82. R.... ....

    temples, anybody. lol.

  83. A.... Z....

    ขอ เสียง คน ไทย หน่อยยยยย

  84. P.... ....

    /watch?v=mFCu7-JheMI I made a cover of this song :))

  85. A.... M....

    Perfect

  86. C.... ....

    you're right on the tempestuous thing but I think it really is phase

  87. z.... ....

    I love songs like this that sound great and have fantastic lyrics too. They just make so much sense and I don't see how it can be disliked

    z.... ....

    lol what was i on

  88. W.... M....

    screw you 8 dislike people

  89. T.... ....

    this song gets my ears hard

  90. S.... ....

    @ashterrMc its a b-side to florescent adolescent

  91. R.... ....

    this song is fucking great

  92. a.... E....

    I dont understand, was this song on favourite worst nightmare? bit confused

  93. G.... S....

    Would it be outrageous to say, we're either shouting or we're shagging
    locked in tempestuos phase...

  94. S.... G....

    HOLY FUCK. THERE WAS A B-SIDE!?!?!?!?

  95. A.... ....

    @JayPizzzle Itunes all of there eps are on there.

  96. c.... ....
