"Fluorescent Adolescent" lyrics - ARCTIC MONKEYS

You used to get it in your fishnets
Now you only get it in your night dress
Discarded all the naughty nights for niceness
Landed in a very common crisis

Everything's in order in a black hole
Nothing seems as pretty as the past, though
That Bloody Mary's lacking in Tabasco
Remember when you used to be a rascal?

Oh, the boy's a slag
The best you ever had
The best you ever had
Is just a memory and those dreams
Weren't as daft as they seem
Not as daft as they seemed, my love
When you dreamed them up

Flicking through a little book of sex tips
Remember when the boys were all electric?
Now, when she's told she's gonna get it
I'm guessing that she'd rather just forget it

Clinging to not gettin' sentimental
Said she wasn't going but she went still
Likes her gentlemen not to be gentle
Was it a Mecca dauber or a betting pencil?

Oh, the boy's a slag
The best you ever had
The best you ever had
Is just a memory and those dreams
Weren't as daft as they seem
Not as daft as they seem, my love
When you dreamed them up, oh, flo

Where did you go?
Where did you go?
Where did you go?
Oh, oh

You're falling about
You took a left off Last Laugh Lane
You were just soundin' it out
But you're not coming back again

You're falling about
You took a left off Last Laugh Lane
You were just soundin' it out
But you're not coming back again

You used to get it in your fishnets
Now you only get it in your night dress (falling about)
Discarded all the naughty nights for niceness (you took a left off Last Laugh Lane)
Landed in a very common crisis

Everything's in order in a black hole
Is everything as pretty as the past, though (you just sounded it out)
That Bloody Mary's lacking in Tabasco (and you're not coming back again)
Remember when you used to be a rascal?
