1. Arctic Monkeys lyric analysis

2. For the video of this song I would give it a 50/60’s vintage look which seems
appropriate to the slow paced romantic style of the song. I would use close up
shots of the singers face to identify his emotions and feelings towards to
woman he is talking about in the song. However, I would use tracking shots of
the woman’s feet walking and of her lips (smoking) to make her seem
mysterious and complicated. I think the singer should be dressed in a suit and
the woman be dressed in a dress with red lipstick to create a 60’s feel because
this is a common stereotype from that era.I also think the color should be in
black and white to emphasize the look and feel of the video being 60’s and old
fashion.
The white color represents the lyrics.
The red color represents the analysis of lyrics.
The blue color represents my own ideas for the
song video.

3. Have you got colour in your cheeks?
Do you ever get that fear that you can't shift the tide that
sticks around like summat in your teeth?
Are there some aces up your sleeve?
Have you no idea that you're in deep?
I dreamt about you nearly every night this week
How many secrets can you keep?
'Cause there's this tune I found that makes me think of
you somehow and I play it on repeat
Until I fall asleep
Spilling drinks on my settee
(Do I wanna know) If this feeling flows both ways?
(Sad to see you go)
Was sort of hoping that you'd stay (Baby we both know)
That the nights were mainly made for saying things that
you can't say tomorrow day
Crawling back to you
From these lines, we can tell that lead singer Alex Turner is
subtly flirting with the object of his desires. He's telling her
that simply from interacting with one another, she's
blushing, and that feeling of attraction is something
inevitable (like the tide), and it feels like she can't quite get
him out of her hair.At the beginning of the song I would
introduce the singer by using different shots to the beat of
the song which can include mainly close ups of his face, chest
to show what he wearing (suit and tie) maybe his wrist to
show he wearing an expensive watch which will show he’s a
wealthy person. Also close ups of his lips when singing to
show he’s trying to be seductive. I would then introduce the
woman he is after and make her seductive and mysterious
by using shots of her legs when she's walking and also of her
lips. This could be in a bar and have the two people making
eye contact to each other across the bar, and then they start
talking to each other and he could be asking her the
questions from the lyrics.
He didn't realize that she was in as far deep as he was
when it came to their attraction, and it's not clear if
he's admitting it to her or just thinking in his head, but
there's a song he listens to as he falls asleep that
makes him think of her. But we know that he's a little
inebriated when he nods thinking about her, him
spilling on his settee suggests he's passing out on his
couch with a drink in hand.Maybe have the singer has
made his way home from the bar and is then laying on
the sofa listening to an old radio falling asleep and
spilling his drink.
It sounds like the singer is nervous whether or not this
girl he fancies feels the same way about him. Even
though he claimed to be able to see their mutual
attraction, maybe they're bad for one another. But he
admits his true feelings. Have the singer singing the
choruses to the camera as if he's also communicating
to the listeners.

4. Ever thought of calling when you've had a few?
'Cause I always do
Maybe I'm too busy being yours to fall for somebody new
Now I've thought it through
Crawling back to you
So have you got the guts?
Been wondering if your heart's still open and if so I wanna know what time it shuts
Simmer down and pucker up
It now seems like the singer and this girl
have a history together, and with the
two of them still not "official", it's clear
the two of them aren't meant to be. But
every time he drinks, he calls her,
because the feelings he has for her
never really goes away. He always
crawls back to her.
He dares the girl to open up and tell
him her true feelings for him. He
wants to know if he has a chance
with her, even only for tonight
(while her heart's still open). Maybe
have a heart shaped vault door with
the woman standing inside the
room and the singer walking in
trying to kiss her and says to her
‘but we could be together if you
wanted to’.
I'm sorry to interrupt. It's just I'm constantly on the cusp of trying to kiss you don't know if you feel the same as I do
But we could be together if you wanted to

If this feeling flows both ways?
As he waits for her response, his

point, he seems weary and a little
desperate for her, and claims its

5. Crawling back to you (crawling back to you)
Ever thought of calling when you've had a few? (you've had a
few)
'Cause I always do ('cause I always do)
Maybe I'm too (maybe I'm too busy) busy being yours to fall for
somebody new
Now I've thought it through
Crawling back to you
(Do I wanna know?)
If this feeling flows both ways?
(Sad to see you go)
Was sort of hoping that you'd stay
(Baby we both know)
That the nights were mainly made for saying things that you
can't say tomorrow day
(Do I wanna know?)
Too busy being yours to fall
(Sad to see you go)
Ever thought of calling down?
(Do I wanna know?)
Do you want me crawling back to you?
