Lyrics

[Verse 1: Alex Turner, Alex Turner & Matt Helders] One look sends it coursin' through the veins, oh, how the feelin' races Back up to their brains to form expressions on their stupid faces They don't want to say hello like I want to say hello Well, the heartbeat's at its peak when you're coming up to speak [Chorus: Alex Turner] And oh, I'm so tense, never tenser, could all go a bit Frank Spencer And I'm talkin' gibberish, tip of the tongue but I can't deliver it Properly, oh, it's all gettin' on top of me And if it weren't this dark, you'd see how red my face has gone, yeah [Verse 2: Alex Turner] Everybody's tryin' to crack the jokes and that to make you smile Those that claim that they're not showin' off are drownin' in denial But they're not half as bad as me, say anything and I'll agree 'Cause when it comes to acting up, I'm sure I could write the book [Chorus: Alex Turner, Alex Turner & Matt Helders] And now that you're more than a part in the play It's slightly easier to think what to say You had us all standin' on our heads Doing our best tricks, yeah [Outro: Alex Turner, Matt Helders] Never again, well, never again, no Will there be another one quite as desirable as you One look sends it coursin' through the veins, oh, how the feeling races Back up to their brains to form expressions on their stupid faces
