Dance Little Liar

OK im going to put forward a rather odd interpretaton here, but i believe it to make sense.

I heard the truth was built to bend A mechanism to suspend the guilt Is what you are requiring still You've got to dance little liar

This song is about how different members of the public will react to the arctic monkeys change in direction. the lyrics above basically translate to me as "you are going to lie about liking our new direction and youre going to dance away, feeling guilty that you dont like our new tracks."

Just like those fibbs to pop and fizz And you'll be forced to take that awful quiz And you're bound to trip And she'll detect the fiction on Yr lips and dig a contradicion up

When people ask you if you like Humbug, you will feel awkward and claim you like it, feeling ashamed that you dont.

And the clean coming will hurt And you can never get it spotless When theres dirt beneth the dirt The liar takes a lot less time

You will like this album a lot eventually, (i believe it to be a grower) however the liars claim to like it instantly

Im sure its clear and plain to me Its not an alibi you need just yet Oh no its something for those beads of sweat Yes that we'll get you back to normal

the liar cant cope with the change the monkeys have undergone, he wants more of the happy, poppy, earlier stuff.

And after you have dabbed the patch you’ll grieve And then proceed to scratch the varnish off That newly added calmness So as not to raise any alarms too soon

Critics of the album will diss it fairly quickly so as not to raise any alarm that after a few listens, humbug becomes an amazing album.

And the clean coming will hurt And you can never get it spotless When theres dirt beneath the dirt

The liar takes a lot less Time to decide on his saunter Have you got itchy bones? And in all your time alone Can you hack your mind being riddled with the wrong memories?

"can you cope with our change from the way we once were?" :)

And the clean coming will hurt And you can never get it spotless When theres dirt between the dirt

you will always find fault with humbug, noone ever copes with such a drastic change in musical direction.

I have seen these situations amongst my friends that have humbug, some hated it, it grew on some, some loved it instantly (little liars... heh heh)

Well it sounded like i was dissing Humbug in my interpretation and ill be honest its nowhere near as good as favourite worst nightmare or whatever people say, but after a few listens i loved i and im going to see arctic monkeys live for the second time next month :)
