Put Your Dukes Up John (Little Flames cover) Lyrics
Put your dukes up John,
Yeah, put your dukes up John,
You were preened and sanitised,
Struck dumb by good advice.
Your integrity was bruised,
Your celebrity a ruse,
They pulled the rug from under,
Made way for new pretenders.
Change your tune and change your hair
Or you�re not going anywhere
Change your tune and change your hair
Or you�re not going anywhere
Be a C_Y_N_I_C_
Be a C_Y_N_I_C_
The profit margin blinds them,
They groomed and ostracised him,
His calm makes my blood boil,
His calm makes my blood boil,
Change your tune and change your hair
Or you�re not going anywhere
Change your tune and change your hair
Or you�re not going anywhere
Be a C_Y_N_I_C_
Be a C_Y_N_I_C_
Yeah, put your dukes up John,
You were preened and sanitised,
Struck dumb by good advice.
Your celebrity a ruse,
They pulled the rug from under,
Made way for new pretenders.
Or you�re not going anywhere
Change your tune and change your hair
Or you�re not going anywhere
Be a C_Y_N_I_C_
Be a C_Y_N_I_C_
They groomed and ostracised him,
His calm makes my blood boil,
His calm makes my blood boil,
Or you�re not going anywhere
Change your tune and change your hair
Or you�re not going anywhere
Be a C_Y_N_I_C_
Be a C_Y_N_I_C_

This is the 1st B-side which is a cover on their new single 'Leave Before the Lights Come on', just thought I'd add the lyrics check it out
I don't really like this. It's very repetitive and a little annoying.
This is actually a cover of a Little Flames song.
I like.. 'They pulled the rug from under, Made way for new pretenders'..
I know this isn't an Arctic Monkeys original, but they should play this live more often...it's a song that's got that kind of anthemic feel to it. I can see the crowd go absolutely insane to this song. I think it was made to be a little hard rocker just for rocking out purposes, that's why it's kind of repetitive.
wtf is a C.Y.N.I.C?
I have absolute no clue to this one.
cynic .. a person who believes that only selfishness motivates human actions
Stop being a smarty pants. Good song, though.
