Gli Arctic Monkeys si chiedono ripetutamente “Why’d you only call me when you’re high?”. Se lo chiedono alle 3 del mattino. Stalkerando al telefono dolci ragazze inglesi tutte fatte, ma che già sono a casa in collasso sul divano, ché al letto manco ci arrivano. Voi invece che fate quando volete un partner per la notte e non riuscite a trovarne? A parte toccarvi e abusare di alcol e sostanze varie, si intende. Fate sapere. E buona notte.
Di seguito il testo:
The mirror’s image,
It tells me it’s on time,
But I’m not finished,
‘Cause you’re not by my side.
And as I arrived I thought I saw you leaving,
Carrying your shoes,
Decided that once again I was just dreaming,
Of bumping into you.
Now it’s three in the morning,
And I’m trying to change your mind,
Left you multiple missed calls
Until my message you reply.
Why’d you only call me when you’re high?
High
Why’d you only call me when you’re high?
Somewhere darker,
Talking the same chide,
I need a partner,
Well are you out tonight?
It’s harder and harder to get you to listen
More I get through the gears
incapable of making alright decisions
and having bad ideas.
Now it’s three in the morning
And I’m trying to change your mind
Left you multiple missed calls
Until my message you reply
(Message you reply)
Why’d you only call me when you’re high?
(Why’d you only call me when you’re)
High
Why’d you only call me when you’re high?
And I can’t see you here when I’m high,
Sort of feels like I’m running out of time,
I haven’t found all I was hoping to find,
You said you got to be up in the morning,
Gonna have a nani night,
And you starting to bore me, baby,
Why’d you only call me when you’re high?
Why’d you only ever call me when you’re high?
Why’d you only ever phone me when you’re high? (x3)
