Knee Socks
Arctic Monkeys Lyrics
You got the lights on in the afternoon
And the nights are drawn out long
And you're kissin' to cut through the gloom
With a cough-drop colored tongue
And you were sittin' in the corner with the coats all piled high
When I thought you might be mine
In a small world on an exceptionally rainy Tuesday night
In the right place and time
When the zeros line up on the 24-hour clock
When you walked around your house wearin' my sky blue Lacoste
And your knee socks
Well, you cured my January blues
Yeah, you made it all alright
I got a feelin' I might have lit the very fuse
That you were tryin' not to light
You were a stranger in my phonebook I was actin' like I knew
'Cause I had nothin' to lose
When the winter's in full swing and your dreams just aren't coming true
Ain't it funny what you'll do?
When the zeros line up on the 24-hour clock
When you know who's callin' even though the number is blocked
When you walked around your house wearin' my sky blue Lacoste
And your knee socks
The late afternoon, he ghost in your room
That you always thought didn't approve of you knockin' boots
Never stopped you letting me get hold of the sweet spot
By the scruff of your knee socks
You and me could've been a team
Each had a half of a king and queen seat
Like the beginnin' of Mean Streets
You could be my baby (be my baby)
You and me could've been a team
Each had a half of a king and queen seat
Like the beginnin' of Mean Streets
You could be my baby (be my baby)
You and me could've been a team (all the zeros lined up)
Each had a half of a king and queen seat
Like the beginnin' of Mean Streets
You could be my baby (be my baby) (but the number's blocked)
You and me could've been a team
Each had a half of a king and queen seat (when you've come undone)
Like the beginnin' of Mean Streets
You could be my baby (be my baby)
When the zeros line up on the 24-hour clock (all the zeros lined up)
When you know who's callin' even though the number is blocked (but the number's blocked)
When you walked around your house wearin' my sky blue Lacoste
And your knee socks (when you've come undone)
When the zeros line up on the 24-hour clock (all the zeros lined up)
When you know who's callin' even though the number is blocked
When you walked around your house wearin' my sky blue Lacoste
And your knee socks
Knee socks
Knee socks

To comment on specific lyrics, highlight them
Perhaps the album’s best song is tucked away just before it ends. Everything about this track is sexy…from the bass drum and simple guitar riff as it opens, to the imagery conjured up by a line like “When you walked around your house wearing my sky blue Lacoste… And your knee socks". And we’re bouncing as the images in Alex’s head come together in a parting crescendo.
