Come on in, the water's lovely
Look, you could meet someone you like
During the meteor strike
It is that easy
Lunar surface on a Saturday night
Dressed up in silver and white
With colored old grey whistle test lights

Take it easy for a little while
Come and stay with us
It's such an easy flight
Cute new places keep on popping up
Since the exodus, it's all getting gentrified
I put a taqueria on the roof
It was well reviewed
Four stars out of five
And that's unheard of

I'm Mr. Bridge and Tunnel on the Starlight Express
The head of special effects in my mind's eye
Hokey Cokey with the opposite sex
The things you try to forget
Doesn't time fly?
I'm in no position to give advice
I don't want to be nice
And you know that

Take it easy for a little while
Come and stay with us
It's such an easy flight
Cute new places keep on popping up
Around Clavius, it's all getting gentrified
The information action ratio
Is the place to go
And you will not recognize
The old headquarters

All the nights that never happened
And the days that don't exist
At the information action ratio
Only time that we stop laughing
Is to breathe or steal a kiss
I can get you on the list for all the clubs
I can lift you up another semitone

Take it easy for a little while
(Take it easy for a little while)
Come and stay with us
It's such an easy flight
Cute new places keep on popping up
(Cute new places keep on popping up)
Since the exodus, it's all getting gentrified
The information action ratio
(The information action ratio) is the place to go
Four stars out of five

Take it easy for a little while
(Take it easy for a little while)
Come and stay with us
Now, it's such an easy flight
Cute new places keep on popping up
(Cute new places keep on popping up)
Around Clavius, it's all getting gentrified
I put a taqueria on the moon
(The information action ratio)
It got rave reviews
Four stars out of five

Take it easy for a little while
(Take it easy for a little while)
Come and stay with us
Four stars out of five
Take it easy for a little while
(Take it easy for a little while)
Come and stay with us
Four stars out of five
Take it easy for a little while
(Take it easy for a little while)
Come and stay with us
Four stars out of five
Take it easy for a little while
(Take it easy for a little while)
Come and stay with us
(Four stars out of five)
(Take it easy for a little while)
Four stars out of five

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Arctic Monkeys' song, Four Out of Five, seem to be an advertisement or pitch for a futuristic travel destination. The first verse suggests that the singer is trying to persuade people to join them on a trip to a lunar surface, promising that it's easy to meet someone you like "during the meteor strike." The second verse is more focused on promoting the amenities of the destination, highlighting how "cute new places keep on popping up" and how the taqueria on the roof got rave reviews. The chorus urges the listener to "take it easy for a little while" and come stay with them, emphasizing how easy the flight is and how many great places there are to explore.


However, there are some hints that not everything may be as advertised. The line "Since the exodus, it's all getting gentrified" suggests that perhaps the destination is not as niche or isolated as it once was. Additionally, the reference to the "old headquarters" suggests that something important may have been replaced or lost in the process of development. The bridge of the song suggests that the singer may not be entirely trustworthy, as they describe themselves as "Mr. Bridge and Tunnel on the Starlight Express" and admit that they don't want to give advice or be nice.


Overall, the lyrics of Four Out of Five are both enticing and cautionary, hinting at a fascinating but potentially problematic place that the listener is being invited to explore.

people are saying this album isn't what they wanted... I don't think they understand how art works. the artist isn't supposed to give a shit what the fans want. they make what they want. and thats what I love about arctic monkeys. if you don't like it then find something else, its not that big of a deal.

@strictlynorton

Nicely stated. Its why Ziggy broke up the band. Only real artists take real risks! This album is a masterwork... we have to give the slow ones time to catch up.

@colonel_crackers6586

smarty puffs facts

@renatorsg69

hmm, I disagree Damon Albarn is an example of experimenting and improving. I used to love AM but actually it seem that they are struggling to find new sounds... Favorite Worst Nightmares was a step to this but after that, their music got repetitive to me. Maybe it's just me I still listen to the band but it's been hard to enjoy all of their material since cornerstone.

@Ada-ut5wh

@@renatorsg69 yeah, cornerstone haves something that makes it shine above the rest of the songs from Humbug
