Arctic Monkeys

Arctic Monkeys

Arctic Monkeys son una banda de indie rock procedente de High Green, un barrio de Sheffield, Inglaterra. Sus primeros dos sencillos, "I Bet You Look Good On the Dancefloor" y "When The Sun Goes Down", fueron directos al número 1 de la lista de singles del Reino Unido, y el álbum de debut de la banda, Whatever People Say I Am, That's What I'm Not, tiene el record como el álbum de debut más vendido en sus primeras semanas en el Reino Unido, superando al Definitely Maybe, disco de debut de los legendarios Oasis. La banda ganó el premio "Best New Act" en los "Brit Awards" de 2006, y crearon historia en los premios de NME de 2006 al convertirse en la primera banda en ganar el premio a la "Mejor Nueva Banda" y "Mejor Banda Británica" en el mismo año. El segundo álbum de la banda, Favourite Worst Nightmare, vio la luz el lunes 23 de abril de 2007, precedido por el single anticipo Brianstorm, el 16 de ese mismo mes. Las raíces de la banda en el norte de Inglaterra a menudo se destaca como elemento clave del estilo del grupo, y han sido etiquetados como los Libertines del norte, mientras su sonido único y sus letras irónicas - a menudo con crítica social - se han comparado a las de The Jam y The Streets. La banda está formada por Alex Turner (voz y guitarra), Jamie Cook (guitarra rítmica), Matt Helders (batería y coros) y Nick O'Malley (bajista); este último incorporado a la banda en junio de 2006 tras el abandono de Andy Nicholson.

Letra de If You Were There, Beware
If you were there, beware
The serpent soul pinches
Three hundred and fifty no-thank-you's
And nobody flinches
Go on, girl, go on
Give us something gruesome
We require your grief
The thugs help the thiefs
As they're trying to rob
The words from her gob
And take the swords to the innocence

And if you were there, beware
The serpent soul pinches
Can't you sense she was never meant
To fill column inches?
And you had enough
What you're trying to dig up
Isn't there to be dug
The thiefs help the thugs
As they're trying to beat
The good grace of her sweetheart
Out to the point she'll comply

And why? Leave her on her own
If I'd have known, then I wouldn't have said it
I wouldn't have said it if I would have known
Why? Leave her on her own
If I predicted tears, then I wouldn't have said it
I wouldn't have said it if I would had known

Ahh ahh ahh...

There's a circle of witches
Ambitiously vicious they are
And our attempts to remind them
Of reason won't get us that far
And I don't know what it is that they want
I don't know what it is that they want
But I haven't got it to give
She hasn't got it to give.
