A Certain Romance

  • Well, oh, they might wear classic Reeboks
    Or knackered Converse
    Or tracky bottoms tucked in socks
    But all of that's what the point is not
    The point's that there ain't no romance around there

    And there's the truth that they can't see
    They'd probably like to throw a punch at me
    And if you could only see 'em, then you would agree
    Agree that there ain't no romance around there

    You know, oh, it's a funny thing you know
    We'll tell 'em if you like
    We'll tell 'em all tonight
    They'll never listen
    Because their minds are made up
    And course it's all okay to carry on that way

    'Cause over there, there's broken bones
    There's only music, so that there's new ringtones
    And it don't take no Sherlock Holmes
    To see it's a little different around here

    Don't get me wrong, though, there's boys in bands
    And kids who like to scrap with pool cues in their hands
    And just 'cause he's had a couple o' cans
    He thinks it's all right to act like a dickhead

    Don't you know, oh' it's a funny thing you know
    We'll tell 'em if you like
    We'll tell 'em all tonight
    They'll never listen
    Because their minds are made up
    And course it's all okay to carry on that way

    But I said no
    Oh no
    Well, you won't get me to go
    Not anywhere, not anywhere
    No, I won't go
    Oh no no

    Well, over there, there's friends of mine
    What can I say? I've known 'em for a long long time
    And, yeah, they might overstep the line
    But you just cannot get angry in the same way
    No, not in the same way
    Said, not in the same way
    Oh no, oh no no Writer/s: Alex Turner
