  • Brian
    Top marks for not trying
    So kind of you to bless us
    With your effortlessness
    We're grateful and so strangely comforted
    And I wonder
    Are you putting us under
    'Cause we can't take our eyes
    Off the t-shirt and ties combination?
    Well, see you later, innovator

    Some want to kiss, some want to kick you
    There's not a net you couldn't slip through
    Or at least that's the impression I get
    'Cause you're smooth, and you're wet
    And she's not aware yet
    But she's yours
    She'll be saying, "use me
    Show me the jacuzzi"
    I imagine that it's there on a plate
    Your whole rendezvous rate
    Means that you'll never be frightened
    To make them wait for a while
    I doubt it's your style
    Not to get what you set
    Out to acquire, the eyes are on fire
    You are the unforecasted storm

    (Brian) calm, collected and commanding
    (Top marks for not trying)
    You leave the other stories standing
    With your renditions and jokes
    Bet there's hundreds of blokes
    That have wept 'cause you've stolen their

    Thunder
    Are you putting us under
    'Cause we can't take our eyes
    Off the t-shirt and ties combination?

    Well, see you later, innovator Writer/s: Alex Turner

  • Eve from Ringwood, United KingdomLove this song! I always thought it was about this guy they all respected because he was so smooth and effortless in getting girls, wearing 't-shirt and tie combination', and stealing every guy's thunder etc. Still, though!
  • Marina from Winnipeg, Canadai think you should know you're my favourite worst nightmare. great song :)
  • 1624 from Calgaryi love how clever the monkey's lyrics are
  • Aggie from Suva, Othervery creative. see ya later innovator XD
  • Declan from Waterford, IrelandI misheard the lyric "you are the unforcasted storm" as "you are your own forcasted storm" and I took it to mean that the guy was a rich, hip TV reporter.
