Arctic Monkeys
"Balaclava"

Running off over next doors garden


Before the hour is done
It's more a question of feeling
Than it is a question of fun
The confidence is the ___________
I'm sure you'll _________ 'em good
Will the ending _________ of salty cheeks
And runny makeup alone

Or will blood run down the face


Of a boy bewildered and _________
And you'll find yourself in a _______
And you wish you'd never been born
And you tie yourself to the tracks
And there isn't no going back
And it's wrong wrong wrong
But we'll do it anyway cause we love a bit of ________

Are you pulling her from a burning building


Or throwing her to the sharks
Can only hope that the ending is as _____________ as the start
The confidence is the balaclava, I'm sure you baffle 'em straight
And it's wrong wrong wrong, she can hardly wait

That's right, he won't let her out his sight


Now the shaggers perform
And the ___________ are drawn
Who's the __________ in this crime?

That's right, he won't let her out his sight


Now the shaggers perform
And the __________ are drawn
Who's the __________ in this...
Crime!

That's right, he won't let her out his sight


That's right, he won't let her out his sight
That's right, he won't let her out his sight

You'll be able to post any day of the most


For the sights of all time

You knew that it'd be trouble right before the very first kiss
Quiet and assuming but you heard that they were the naughtiest
She ____________ with you to take it off
But you resisted and fought
Sorry sweetheart, I'd much rather keep on the balaclava.
