| Arctic Monkeys – You Probably Couldn't See for the Lights but You Were Looking Straight at Me Lyrics
| 17 years ago

I absolutely love the song, it’s so good. It’s got a great beat and really clever lyrics which are fantastic to shout along to.
I think the people who are finding e references are looking too hard. Its just about looking an idiot when you’re trying to look cool in front of someone you like.
Frank Spencer was the lead character in a 70’s British Sitcom called "Some Mothers Do 'Ave 'Em". Everything always went wrong for him and he got himself in ridiculous situations which made him look stupid, an accident prone idiot. The character Mr Bean is a direct rip off. Not quite sure how I know so much about the show as it's absolute terrible. Incidentally he was played by Michael Crawford who went on to be a musical star in the Phantom of the Opera |

all my own work and consequently it's probably wrong. I’m still not sure if he’s saying, surfs, subs, suggs? I doubt its got any particular meaning, its just a quality load of nonsence |

| The Rakes – 22 Grand Job Lyrics

It’s a funny song but I don’t think he’s being smug about it. He just saying “its alright”- better than some but not as good as the bloke from sales. It’s more a mockery of the situation many people are in when they leave university. Working in the city, on an average wage, doing little else apart from talking about women from work and drinking. “Pub club, sleep….” has the same theme.
Also I think the lyric’s “down Old Street Thursday night”, there’s loads of bars on Old Street. I’ve never heard of St. Earl Street.
Quality song |

Its pretty cool nowadays to think ugly kid joe are sad but i dont care this is a decent song! Is the dialog at the begining that goes "Are you the guys on the beach who hate everything ?
Is this some sort of hip music that I don't understand?" from a film or cartoon or something? or is is just them putting on a funny voice |

i think frank black said one time that the title was an "homage" to the velvet undergorunds' "waiting for my man" which had been a big influence to young frank |

i think it's about being confused as to what to do with your life but at the same time too lazy and stubborn to listen to advice or actually do anything about it |

the first verse appears to be about oral sex, as i'm sure everyone got. The second is about boasting about sexual conquests |
