Lyrics of Fluorescent Adolescent by Arctic Monkeys

verse

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

verse

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?

chorus

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, aren't as daft as they seem

My love, when you dream them up

verse

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

verse

Clinging 'til I'm getting 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?

chorus

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, aren't as daft as they seem, my love

When you dream them up

hook

Oh, Flo

Where did you go?

Where did you go?

Where did you go? Oh

bridge

You're falling about

You took a left off Last Laugh Lane

Just sounding it out

But you're not coming back again

bridge

You're falling about

You took a left off Last Laugh Lane

You were just sounding it out

But you're not coming back again

outro

You used to get it in your fishnets (falling about)

Now you only get it in your night dress

Discarded all the naughty nights for niceness (you took a left off Last Laugh Lane)

Landed in a very common crisis

outro

Everything's in order in a black hole (you were just sounding it out)

Is anything as pretty in the past though?

That Bloody Mary's lacking in Tabasco (you're not coming back again)

Remember when you used to be a rascal, oh?
