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 :)
lmao, like it. i got the album soon as it came out and it did take a few listens but wow what a album, my brother still disagrees but as i play it more around him i can see it growing on him. lol
