Lyrics

[Verse 1: Alex Turner] We'll ask if we can have six in If not we'll have to have two Well, you're comin' up our end, aren't ya? So I'll get one with you Won't he let us have six in? Especially not with the food He could have just told us no, though He didn't have to be rude [Verse 2: Alex Turner] You see her with the green dress? She talked to me at the bar Well, how come it's already two-pound fifty? We've only gone about a yard Didn't you see she were gorgeous? She were beyond belief But this lad at the side drinkin' his Smirnoff Ice Came and paid for her Tropical Reef [Chorus: Alex Turner] And I'm sitting, going backwards And I didn't want to leave I said, "It's High Green, mate Via Hillsborough, please" [Verse 3: Alex Turner] Well, how funny were that sketch earlier Up near that taxi rank? Oh no, you would have missed it Think it were when you went to the bank These two lads squarin' up, proper shoutin' 'Bout who were next in the queue The kind of thing that'd seem so silly But not when they've both had a few [Chorus: Alex Turner, Alex Turner & Matt Helders] Well, calm down, temper, temper You shouldn't get so annoyed Well, you're actin' like a silly little boy Oh, they wanted to be men And do some fightin' in the street He said, "No surrender, no chance of retreat" [Instrumental Break] [Chorus: Alex Turner] And so why are they in the taxi? 'Cause I didn't wanna leave I said, "It's High Green, mate Via Hillsborough, please!" [Outro: Alex Turner] Drunken plots hatched to jump it Ask around, "Are you sure?" Went for it, but the red light was showin' And red light indicates doors are secure
