The Arctic Monkeys write very literal lyrics, theyre not the kind of band that you have to worry abut figuring out what they mean by what they are saying. Each song is like a story told with music, and although they may make occasional references, what they say is pretty much what they mean.
From what I gather, the song is about going out with your hopes up to get laid despite all the times you have failed before, getting very drunk and sending a message to a girl/X which at the time of writing you think is beautiful and complimentary poetry, but to the receiver just seems like the un-coherent ravings of a p*sshead.
