Arctic Monkeys - Crying Lightning Live At Itunes Festival 2011 Lyrics

[Intro]
You

[Verse 1]
Outside the cafe by the cracker factory
You were practicing a magic trick
And my thoughts got rude as you talked and chewed
On the last of your pick and mix
Said, "You're mistaken if you're thinking
That I haven't been called cold before"
As you bit into your strawberry lace
Then offered me your attention in the form of a gobstopper
It's all you had left and it was going to waste

[Chorus]
Your pastimes consisted of the strange
And twisted and deranged
And I love that little game you had called crying lightning
And how you'd like to aggravatе the ice-cream man
On rainy aftеrnoons

[Verse 2]
The next time that I caught my own reflection
It was on its way to meet you
Thinking of excuses to postpone
You never looked like yourself from the side
But your profile could not hide
The fact you knew I was approaching your throne
With folded arms you occupied the bench like toothache
Stood and pumped your chest out like you'd never lost a war
And though I tried so not to suffer the indignity of a reaction
There was no cracks to grasp or gaps to claw
[Chorus]
And your pastimes consisted of the strange
And twisted and deranged
And I hate that little game you had called crying lightning
And how you'd like to aggravate the icky man on rainy afternoons
Uninviting, but not half as impossible as everyone assumes you are
Crying lightning

[Instrumental Break]

[Chorus]
Your pastimes consisted of the strange
And twisted and deranged
And I hate that little game you had called
Crying lightning, crying lightning, oh
Crying lightning, crying lightning
Your pastimes consisted of the strange
The twisted and deranged
And I hate that little game you had called crying

[Spoken Outro]
Thank you! Nice one
