This song is pretty clear-

It's about a guy (I guess Alex)... and this girl who everyone digs and is tryna impress is coming up to him, then he gets all tense and sweaty and red and stuff, he doesn't know what to say, it's "on the tip of his tounge but he can't deliver it properly," duhhh. I never really thought about the meaning but when I listened to the song to try to figure it out I got it right away.

The Arctic Monkeys are cool cuz they put themselves in the funny situation in their songs.... but the situations are so realistic. This song is definetly up there!! =]
