Brian
Top marks for not trying
So kind of you to bless us
With your effortlessness
We're grateful, so strangely comforted
And I wonder
Are you putting us under
'Cause we can't take our eyes
Off the t-shirt and ties combination?
Well, see you later, innovator
Some want to kiss, some want to kick you
There's not a net you couldn't slip through
Or at least that's the impression I get
'Cause you're smooth, and you're wet
And she's not aware yet
But she's yours
She'll be saying, use me
Show me the jacuzzi
I imagine that it's there, on a plate
You're whole rendezvous rate
Means that you'll never be frightened
To make them wait for a while
I doubt it's your style
Not to get what you set
Out to acquire the eyes are on fire
You are the unforecasted storm
Hup
Calm, collected and commanding
(Top marks for not trying)
You leave the other stories standing
With your renditions and jokes
Bet there's hundreds of blokes
That have wept 'cause you've stolen their
Thunder
Are you putting us under
'Cause we can't take our eyes
Off the t-shirt and ties combination
Well, see you later, innovator
Top marks for not trying
So kind of you to bless us
With your effortlessness
We're grateful, so strangely comforted
And I wonder
Are you putting us under
'Cause we can't take our eyes
Off the t-shirt and ties combination?
Well, see you later, innovator
Some want to kiss, some want to kick you
There's not a net you couldn't slip through
Or at least that's the impression I get
'Cause you're smooth, and you're wet
And she's not aware yet
But she's yours
She'll be saying, use me
Show me the jacuzzi
I imagine that it's there, on a plate
You're whole rendezvous rate
Means that you'll never be frightened
To make them wait for a while
I doubt it's your style
Not to get what you set
Out to acquire the eyes are on fire
You are the unforecasted storm
Hup
Calm, collected and commanding
(Top marks for not trying)
You leave the other stories standing
With your renditions and jokes
Bet there's hundreds of blokes
That have wept 'cause you've stolen their
Thunder
Are you putting us under
'Cause we can't take our eyes
Off the t-shirt and ties combination
Well, see you later, innovator

He references the t shirt and tie as the "cool new look" which represents today's "scene" crowd. The singer is basically saying, "
Also as for the article:
"When asked to say a little about the song's protagonist, Alex Turner replied, "I can't remember Brian now... I don't know if he were in my imagination or what... it's a blank spot in my brain... I think that's what he [Brian] wanted."[6] He later explained in NME that Brian had been a guy that they had met backstage in the band's dressing room at a gig at Studio Coast "Ageha" in Tokyo Japan, and that "When he left the room, we were a bit in awe of his presence. So we did a brainstorm for what he was like, drew a little picture and wrote things about him," while guitarist Jamie Cook added "He was right smooth, very LA. He just appeared with like a business card and like a round neck T-shirt and a tie loosely around it, I'd never seen that before. It felt like he was trying to get inside your mind. We were checking out his attire; it inspired us.""
Love this song. Absolute genius <3

There, they clearly used it as one big reference to dope. It's inspired on the first verse:
Brian

We're grateful so strangely comforted
The less effort, the less attacks, the less we fear that one of the cyclists will be caught for dope. 'we're strangely comforted'. It's a 'blessing' for cyclisme, because cyclisme wins back the trust of the viewer.
It's a great use of the song, and i will néver forget this great bound between the marvelous song and the great video.
I love this song, it was their first one I found out.
505 and Teddy Picker are also damn great, but this one is special.
It doesn't matter what the lyrics mean (it does, but not as much as you think). It doesn't matter if it is "lacking" or "dripping" (talking about fluorescent adolescent, whick also I like pretty much); the message of the song is there and it matters, not one or two words.
kiss.
