[Verse 1]
You push the button and we'll do the rest
The exotic sound of data storage
Nothing like it, first thing in the morning
You push the button and we'll do the rest
Bastard Latin, that's the best thing for it
You push the button and we'll do the rest

[Pre-Chorus 1]
You and Lizzy in the summertime
Wrapping my tiny mind around a lullaby

[Chorus]
There are things that I just cannot explain to you
And those that I hope I don't ever have to

[Verse 2]
Pattern language, in the mood for love
You push the button and we'll do the rest

[Pre-Chorus 2]
You and Genie wearing Stetson hats
Trying to gain access to my lily pad

[Chorus]
There are things that I just cannot explain to you
And those that I hope I don't ever have to

[Bridge]
The world's first ever monster truck front flip
I'm just a bad girl trying to be good
I've got a laser guiding my love that I cannot adjust

[Verse 3]
Forward-thinking model villages
More brain shrinking moving images
You push the button and we'll do the rest

Arctic Monkeys are an English rock band formed in 2002 in High Green, a suburb of Sheffield, England. The band consists of Alex Turner (lead vocals, rhythm/lead guitar), Matt Helders (drums, vocals), Jamie Cook (lead/rhythm guitar) and Nick O'Malley (bass, backing vocals). Former band member Andy Nicholson (bass guitar, backing vocals) left the band in 2006 shortly after their debut album was released. Their sound has changed extensively from album to album, gradually evolving from raw, youthful post-punk revival music to R ‘n’ B and jazz-inspired experiments.

All four original members of the band were devoted fans of hip-hop when they were younger, a genre that would have an immense influence on their later work, but it was the sound of The Strokes and The Libertines that would help shape their early style. The Arctic Monkeys became one of the first bands to find fame and recognition purely through internet publicity and social media; the Arctics used to sell their demos CDs at a bar where Alex Turner used to work, but due to the limited number of CDs, their fans started to upload them on the internet.

Initially, they refused to sign a record contract with any label through fear that they would want the band to change their songs, going as far as to refuse scouts guaranteed entry into their gigs. However, they eventually signed with Domino because of the “do it yourself” attitude of founder, Lawrence Bell, who ran the label from his own house.
