Yes, Alex said in an interview that it's about Eva Paterson of The Little Flames. They opened for them on several occasions and one time they were playing on stage and Alex was in the audience and she kept looking right at him. He thought she might be interested but later when he went on stage he found out that she could not see a damn thing from the stage bc of the blinding lights and was just looking into a distance..LOL funnyyy |

It's Alex being paranoid that a smooth guy is trying to seduce his love interest. Great song. I hope they release it on an EP. |

| Arctic Monkeys – The Lovers (Rod McKuen cover) Lyrics | 7 years ago |

I think it's about two people who love each other but have never been together. They know inside that they are mentally connected and that is enough for them. They are lovers of the heart. Not physical lust-love. |

I think it's about a 'good boy' (maybe Alex was talking about his life after fame?) who has found a new group of people/friends. He knows they are toxic - they snort coke and have different values than his set of 'calculations' (& arithmetic) but he succumbs to pressure, anyway. (This rings true with what Andy said once about the reason for leaving the band , that he didn't want to be involved in the drugs/party lifestyle?) They influence not only his lifestyle but even his thoughts. He's become what he's hated. ("All the weekend rock stars are practising their lines") He does whatever they ask of him. He's the new shiny toy. He's embarrassed and ashamed at himself for playing into their hands but he secretly enjoys the attention as well. But then they discard him and he realises, what he knew all along anyway. He's sitting in his bed of 'nettles' or REGRETS. |
