I can't explain but I want to try
There's this image of you and I
And it goes dancing by in the morning and in the night time

There's all these secrets that I can't keep
Like in my heart there's that hotel suite and you lived there so long,
It's kinda strange now you're gone

I'm not sure if I should show you what I've found
Has it gone for good?
Or is it coming back around?
Isn't it hard to make up your mind?
When you're losing and your fuse is fireside

There's all those places we used to go
And I suspect you already know
But that place on memory lane you liked still looks the same
But something about it's changed

I'm not sure if I should show you what I've found
Has it gone for good?
Or is it coming back around?
Isn't it hard to make up your mind?
When you're losing and your fuse is fireside

And I thought I was yours forever
Maybe I was mistaken but I just cannot manage to make it through the day
Without thinking of you lately

I'm not sure if I should show you what I've found
Has it gone for good?
Or is it coming back around?
Isn't it hard to make up your mind?
When you're losing and your fuse is fireside

What a mess.



Then get some paper towels and clean it up.
Another brilliant piece from the Artic Monkeys. The vocals and backup vocals are very special.
What a mess.

So, does the cover depict amplitude modulation or a bra? Or both?




it's an AM bikini top.
I'm sure it's just me, but I think my wife would look great in a bikini top that matches the album cover.
It doesn't hurt me
Do you wanna feel how it feels?
 
Oh wait, fooled by the opening drum beat...

Successfully keeping me from working here - such an enjoyable tune.

So much better than the Radio Paralyze I hear a little too often.

 

 
clwguy you must have a hard life if you feel insulted by a little joke like the one I made.
Fireside is such a great track. Love the arrangement of the track, and lyrically (as ever) Alex Turner has produced the goods again.

I wish Bill had placed Swans' "Love Will Save Yoy" before you started listening to Paradise that night! So that you could have been paralyzed completely without a chance to place your creepy-crap in comments.

I agree, no need to be insulting. On the other hand, I think it's a funny word play. Cause *sometimes* it does get a bit dark and heavy here... even though it is still the best radio station I know.

No question that Bill and Rebecca are so cool that you could store a side of meat in them for a month, but the Arctic Monkey's coolness was dealt a perhaps-mortal blow when our esteemed ex-chancellor, Mr Dour himself Gordon Brown, declared himself a fan of theirs.

Reminds me vaguely of some cuts from Billy Idol's "Charmed Life".

Actually, the Arctic Monkeys get a lot of airplay on RP.  
Did I say this is one the best bands to appear in the last 15 years? Yea I did... and I'll say it again.
Arctic Monkeys on Radio Paradise... WOW!

With all due respect, you must have gotten your hands on some very bad weed.  What in hell are you smoking?
Working late tonight and this gave me an energy boost!

8 > 9!
Brilliant

Good joke - I nearly laughed!

Great band - live and studio - great album, great song!

The better your speakers - the better the sound (here).

Anything below 2000 $ is not worth a try!

But there's hope - "PONY" is coming!


THERE IS HOPE FOR TRUE and GORGEOUS ROCK 'N' ROLL!

10 points again for the MONKEYS!

Fabulous. Familiar yet inventive, Comforting yet Challenging. Great band.
I can't help myself stop noticing a strong 'influence' of Nikkfurrie's The A La Menthe (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0Hqfb_nndB0) in this one - just speed up the backing beat.... and voilà {#Nyah}

I still love it though...{#Jump}
Sounds like Leon Russell through Auto Tune.
I always think this is Moby.

Artic Monkeys have made it to FM radio. Heard on DC101 and 98Rock Baltimore

 

Not sure if that's good or bad.


This has to be the first ever time that a "shoo-wop doo-wop" backing has appeared on an Arctic Monkeys track. I wonder if Sheffield's finest are going a bit Motown? 'Appen :)

I swear the left sign wave is slightly larger than the right one.

That would make the signal Amplitude Modulated, as in "AM Radio". 

Yesterday, during my ten minutes per month of listening to non-npr broadcast radio, I managed to hear this!  'Twas a bit shocking, to be sure.

Fire!

I swear the left sign wave is slightly larger than the right one.


{#Heartkiss}{#Bananapiano}{#Heartkiss}  ..... Luv it, Top Sheffield Band and Top Album
I've heard of this band but am not at all familiar.  Am hearing quite a bit here and liking what I hear.  Great stuff.  Thanks!
lots of wouwou-jeahjeah-souwabsouwab on this album. but never the less a good one!
I am really enjoying this album.  I'm going to buy it.
I've loved these guys from the first moment I heard them. I hear maturity in this song. Hope they keep their quirkiness.
This group has an interesting groove ... I believe driven by the intriguing tonalities in the voice of the lead vocalist ... they sound tight and their arrangements are very creative, rarely monotonous or boring. This is the third track (from three different albums) I like from their repertoire. All thanks to RP. Cheers! {#Cheers}
