if you were there, beware

Arctic Monkeys

If you were there beware the serpant soul pinchers
Three hundred and fifty no thank yous 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 source of the innocents

If you were there beware the serpant soul pinchers
Can't you sense she was never meant to fill column inches
And you've had enough what you're trying to dig up isn't there to be dug
The thiefs help the thugs
As they're trying to beat the good grace of a sweetheart
Out to the point she'll comply

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 cirlce of witches, ambitiously vicious they are
Our attempts to remind them of reason wont get us that far
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
She hasn't got it to give
