Arctic Monkeys - If You Were There, Beware lyrics
[Arctic Monkeys - If You Were There, Beware lyrics]
If you were there
Beware the serpent soul pinchers
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 thieves
As they're trying to rob the
Words from her gob and
Take the swords to the innocents
If you were there
Beware the serpent soul pinchers
Can't you sense she was never
Meant to fill column inches
Ain't you had enough? What you're
Trying to dig up isn't there to be dug the
Thieves help the thugs
As they're trying to beat the
Good grace of a 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 have known
There's a circle of witches
Ambitiously vicious they are
And our attempts to remind them of
Reason won't get us that far
But 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
And she hasn't got it to give
Beware the serpent soul pinchers
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 thieves
As they're trying to rob the
Words from her gob and
Take the swords to the innocents
If you were there
Beware the serpent soul pinchers
Can't you sense she was never
Meant to fill column inches
Ain't you had enough? What you're
Trying to dig up isn't there to be dug the
Thieves help the thugs
As they're trying to beat the
Good grace of a 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 have known
There's a circle of witches
Ambitiously vicious they are
And our attempts to remind them of
Reason won't get us that far
But 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
And she hasn't got it to give
