Area Lyrics
Duh-der-dum, duh-der-dum, duh-der-dem, duh-deh-dam, dah-der-dem, dah-der-dem, dah-der-dum, dah-der-dum, da x2
You have to stay in a hotel because your house was falling to pieces,
You left your luggage in the hallway and a thief ran away with it (he ran away with it),
His excuse was boredom, tell me how bored you have to be,
And I promise you won't be bored, when it gets to the point that you're finished with me.
Duh-der-dum, duh-der-dum, duh-der-dem, duh-deh-dam, (Areeeea) dah-der-dem, dah-der-dem, dah-der-dum, dah-der-dum, da x2
You have to buy an alarm, the lasers pick up movements in the dark,
It's better than a dog bark, it guarentee's so you can be secure at night, (area area area area)
Your area's in ruin, Your area's in... ruin (area), Your area is free (area),
When it gets to the point that you're finished with me,
When it gets to the point that you're finished with me and all the first are ready.
Very certain that she has to go, where do you come from, what do you know?
Duh-der-dum, duh-der-dum, duh-der-dem, duh-deh-dam, (Areeeea) dah-der-dem, dah-der-dem, dah-der-dum, dah-der-dum, da x2
The doors have metal plates, fitted to the inside of the exit alleys to the front gates,
Security's expensive, it can cost a fortune if you buy your locks (duh-doo-doo) from the wrong place (duh-doo-doo)
It's the area dis-ger-race,
It's the area dis-ger-race,
It's the area disra-hey-hey-haaaace
(Area's in ruin, area's in ruin!)
Ruuuuin! Ruuuuin! Haa-ha!
When it gets to the point that you're finished with me and all the first are ready.
Very certain that she has to go,
Very certain that she has to go,
Very certain that she has to go.
Where do you come from, what do you know?
You left your luggage in the hallway and a thief ran away with it (he ran away with it),
His excuse was boredom, tell me how bored you have to be,
And I promise you won't be bored, when it gets to the point that you're finished with me.
It's better than a dog bark, it guarentee's so you can be secure at night, (area area area area)
Your area's in ruin, Your area's in... ruin (area), Your area is free (area),
When it gets to the point that you're finished with me,
When it gets to the point that you're finished with me and all the first are ready.
Security's expensive, it can cost a fortune if you buy your locks (duh-doo-doo) from the wrong place (duh-doo-doo)
It's the area dis-ger-race,
It's the area dis-ger-race,
It's the area disra-hey-hey-haaaace
Very certain that she has to go,
Very certain that she has to go.

What the bloody hell is this song about? It's so catchy but the lyrics are so daft! Are they poking fun at people who live in rough places or what? I don't get it!
I think it's about a girl who leaves her broken home, and ends up getting raped. She then decides to arm herself incase it happens again. Pretty clever metaphors.
Wow...that's a bit heavy lukefun...don't really agree with the "rape" comments but i'd say it's definitely having a go at the "rougher" urban areas and the necessary actions that people have to make to feel secure in their own homes because of the "constant threat" of yob culture.
Or summat like that :p Fuckin' beauty of a song tho! Can't wait for their second alb.
otori_wazmaster I would say you have hit the nail on the head, you can generally take the Futureheads quite literally with their lyrics (E.g. First Day, Stupid and Shallow)
perhaps they just stuck some heartbreak in with a social comment, with no connection?
