Darkness, The - Dinner Lady Arms Lyrics

Geez... So memories, I've use to listen this every Day on high school, It has that 70s rock, wonderful sound, melancholic lyrics... Can't believe I'm not a teen anymore

2020 anyone?

Minha adolescência foi escutando The Darkness em cima de um Skate... Momentos inesquecíveis.

This song can top charts right now .....it's timeless

09-2019 still listening this amazing song & album

Dunno why so many bad mouth this album its just awesome

How do u have a 1 way ticket and back? This album name makes no sense but who cares

Brilliant as usual

So many memories...

anybody 2019?

Paul Elvis Weiss 2020

you should put the lyrics in the description..... damn I miss these guys.

Every song of the Darkness have very melodic parts musically talking.

One of the best song from The Darkness: nice lyrics, nice guitar solo, nice rhythm guitar line, nice vocal melody (especially in chorus). \m/_

great positive rock music, kudos darkness!

Their best album without a doubt. Puts every song puts a smile on your face :)

Very underrated song , one of the best on the album!

Awesome!!!!!!!!!

Can somebody r'splain' the dinner lady connection?

Speaking to Rolling Stone, Hawkins said: “That’s just a sweet story about an elderly couple who get back together after a long time. I suppose it’s an English thing, ‘dinner lady arms’, but the lady who serves you lunch at school tends to have these flaps of skin on the underside of her arms.”

2019. Great rock dont die

2019 > Best song they made.

I discovered their awesomeness here in 2019!:)

great tune! and an even wilder album cover!

I used to think it said diddy llittle arms. So now whenever I sing it, I have to stop and think.

Curse you! ;-)

It's in the title lol...

AWESOME !! Where is there enough Love for this Amazing Second but forgotten Album from the Mighty D !!

such a bad song to play your wife, when its such a dam good song

I couldn't figure out where your figure had gone.....fucking classic

heard their second album before I played the first album. Damn good music

Fuck, i love it xD

This album speaks volumes for me! Reminds me of falling in love with the Darkness for the first time at 14 & developing my first crush hah!!

the darkness is too much fun. :)

GREAT JAM NICE TO KNOW ROCK IS NOT DEAD!!!!

Rock was never dead sir

darkness fuckin rock!!!!

I love the DARKNESS

I wore out a cd player and warped this cd playing it so much WORTH IT!! thank you Hawkins bros

awesome song

Probably

Best Darkness song IMO.

Definitely my favourite from this album👌👌

teegan W I noticed you in the other comments and my reply is like 2 years later but it's so awesome to see people (like) my age that love the Darkness too !

they really are awsome to hear live!

their interaction with the audience is fantastic

Jodie Zawadzka I’m actually going to their VIP show in Sydney in March 2020. I have a chance of playing on stage with them as well, they’re so nice to their fans

Should have been a single!

Great fucking song.

Sounds kinda like Edguy

why are they such an underrated band??? i love this band!

Swarnabh Kashyap i love there music the darkness and hot leg fucking great

Nigel Dakin there shows are to small crowds though... If they were around in the 80's then they'd be selling out stadiums now

the way i understand it, drug issues kept them from getting the rocket strapped to them...can't blame the check-cutters for not wanting to invest in an OD waiting to happen

that's what I heard as well...they also came too late to the musical party, and although they have great melody lines, I have trouble discerning any legible (memorable) vocals...for the record, I think the band is unbelievable, and I'm so disappointed that they didn't catch fire in the U.S.

I love almost every song of them.

Absolutely amazing

I may not have quite soo much HAIR!!!!!!!

Thanks for the tip, I definitely will! ;)

Have you given their newest record, "Hot Cakes", a listen? I find that it was more rooted in their old ways of Permission. So if you love that album, you should check that one out! :)

This is my favorite song of them!

Great lyrics

I used to claim that no other albums than Permission were good. It took me 3 rounds of listening to One Way Ticket to start appreciating it! But still... it lacks the huge drive that Permission had :(

Milwaukee January 26 then Chicago the 27 gonna be an epic weekend

butImhappyToBeYourMisterThatIllDoForTonight

One Way Ticket To Hell... And Back, such an underrated album!

Can't wait til Aug 21st for their new album Hot Cakes!! The trailer for the new single rocks youtube.com/watch?v=PY8nDhR0sQ0

Also known as Bingo arms. =D

Bingo wings

Fukin´ R&R.... great. Bufffffff....

Dinner Lady Arms - Arms that have saggy flabby bits near the armpit, that droop when the arms are raised and bulge out when the arms are by one's sides.

I love these guys. A most excellent band.

@GreenhouseEffectGE They're back ;-) met them and got autographs and a photo with dan, ed, justin and then separately frankie as he had began making his way to the tour bus for some reason but was still accommodating - seriously sound down to earth lads! Oh yeah and they still rock the sh*t out of any venue they play if the gig I went to is anything to go by!

the darkness give me a woody

@GreenhouseEffectGE oi prick how are dragonforce atall rock? a more accurate interpretation would be calling them speed-metal, but they suck to much to be 'metal'!

going to the darkness gig tonight in edinburgh! gonna be awesome!

How was it?

fuckin tune!.

@michaeljacksonislvbl Wow thats soon. Thanks... Triple Hooray then!!! :D

so glad the darkness are back<3 lovin it :3

Love theese guys and the guitar of this is awesome! anyone know of any songs with this kinda guitar?

@CaptainStriker They're in studio now recording a new album :)

@carlosdfc perfect interpretation and perfect song. everyone says that the second album sucks but instead the second album I liked it a lot especially with songs like Is it just me? Seemed like a good idea or Knockers

At least we know now that they r doing their third album after a 5 yr hiatus! Hooray to that. Heard a rumour a world tour follows next year!!! Double hooray!!!

@CaptainStriker
They announced a couple weeks ago that they're officialy back together with their old bassist.They're planning on playing a world tour,recording new material as well

@SouthFacedWindows I'm a girl ahahaha :D Rock'n'roll!

@TheDidiFerr
Damn agree with you man. Bring back the 80s.

Darkness came out after 2000 in the midst of shitty music revolution. They can keep Rock music alive.Still hopefull.

Lunes con algo de lluvia, muy bien, muy bien, buen inicio de semana para todos..

Theantarex el mejor comentario loco!!! Exacto👍

Brilliant.

Darkness and Airbourne are the only rock'n'roll hope of 21th century!

Linda Ferrari you ever heard of Greta Van Fleet??

I like this album more that the first one. They sound better.

They have the Tonez. The music has the powers.

@smiljanicn
In English schools a 'dinner lady' is a woman who supervises the kids during lunch-hour - usually older women who do it as a part-time job.
'Dinner Lady arms refers' to the loose flesh on the arms of an older woman.

The song is about getting back with an old girlfriend after a long time, and finding that even though they are older, the spark is still there.

"I couldn't figure out where your figure had gone, I thought that I could live without you but I was so wrong"

Maybe it should go... I was wrong, I can't live with your Dinner Lady Arms around me, lol

Addicted to this track....

Apparently Dan Hawkins mentioned they will be reforming in 2011

first when I heard I was like what the ... after listening it about 5 times a could´n stop ... one way ticket is a studio album for deeper listening :p

The Darkness = FUCKING GREAT BAND! :D

man, i remember buying this cd, and listening to this song just getting lost into the bassline and the guitar harmonies......... best song on this FANTASTIC album!

@smiljanicn

Fat chick.

@sangre1979 yeah!!, lo dijiste todo, esa frase "forgive and forget", hace a uno transportarse en el tiempo, aaaaaaaaaaaaaay dolor!

@smiljanicn I guess the girl he's singing for was a cook or canteen worker in the school he used to study in.
