My Little Brother Lyrics
My little brother just discovered rock & roll
My little brother just discovered rock & roll
My little brother just discovered rock & roll
There's a noise in his head, and he's out of control
And yes it frustrates
Let's let him make his own mistakes
On the dance floor watch him go now
Boy those moves I just don't know how
My little brother just discovered rock & roll
My little brother just discovered rock & roll
My little brother just discovered rock & roll
He's only 22 and he's out of control
How's he living?
With all of that unforgiving
On the dance floor watch him go now
Boy those moves I just don't know how
My little brother just discovered rock & roll
My little brother just discovered rock & roll
My little brother just discovered rock & roll
There's a noise in his head and he's out of control
He no longer listens to A-sides
He made me a tape of bootlegs and B-sides
And every song on that tape, every single song on that tape
Says exactly the same thing
Why don't our parents worry about us?
Why don't our parents worry about us?
My little brother just discovered rock & roll
My little brother just discovered rock & roll
My little brother just discovered rock & roll
He's only 22 and he's out of control
My little brother just discovered rock & roll
My little brother just discovered rock & roll
My little brother just discovered rock & roll
There's a noise in his head and he's out of control
My little brother just discovered rock & roll
My little brother just discovered rock & roll
Stay off the crack!
My little brother just discovered rock & roll
My little brother just discovered rock & roll
There's a noise in his head, and he's out of control
Let's let him make his own mistakes
On the dance floor watch him go now
Boy those moves I just don't know how
My little brother just discovered rock & roll
My little brother just discovered rock & roll
He's only 22 and he's out of control
With all of that unforgiving
On the dance floor watch him go now
Boy those moves I just don't know how
My little brother just discovered rock & roll
My little brother just discovered rock & roll
There's a noise in his head and he's out of control
He made me a tape of bootlegs and B-sides
And every song on that tape, every single song on that tape
Says exactly the same thing
Why don't our parents worry about us?
Why don't our parents worry about us?
My little brother just discovered rock & roll
My little brother just discovered rock & roll
He's only 22 and he's out of control
My little brother just discovered rock & roll
My little brother just discovered rock & roll
There's a noise in his head and he's out of control
My little brother just discovered rock & roll
Stay off the crack!

This song reminds me of when my little brother discovered rock & roll. Haha.
Brilliant !
I guess he and his brother don't have the same taste in music, maybe? It sounds to me as though the singer also feels that there's stuff wrong with his music as well...I don't really know, the meaning seems pretty blatant, as are most of Art Brut's songs.
Hahaha.. nice song!
I think that it's a metaphor for his little brother being on drugs. Just discovering rock n'roll is slang for just getting into drugs. His brother is obviously an unhappy, troubled person ("how's he living / with all that unforgiving" and "why don't our parents worry about us") and Eddie is showing his sympathy and support for him. An educated guess, considering the improv parts I've seen Eddie perform during live versions of the song.
Stay off the smack!
