So you're on the prowl wondering whether
She left already or not
Leather jacket, collar popped like Cantonna
Never knowing when to stop
Sunglasses indoors, par for the course
Lights in the floors and sweat on the walls
Cages and poles
Call off the search for your soul
Or put it on hold again
She's having a sly indoor smoke
And she calls the folks who run this, her oldest friends
Sipping a drink and laughing at imaginary jokes
As all the signals are sent, her eyes invite you to approach
And it seems as though those lumps in your throat
That you just swallowed have got you going
Come on, come on, come on
Come on, come on, come on
Number one party anthem
She's a certified mind blower
Knowing full well that I don't
May suggest there's somewhere from which I might know her
Just to get the ball to roll
Drunken monologues, confused because
It's not like I'm falling in love, I just want ya
To do me no good
And you look like you could
Come on, come on, come on
Come on, come on, come on
Number one party anthem
Come on, come on, come on
Before the moment's gone
Number one party anthem, yeah, yeah
The look of love, the rush of blood
The "She's with me"'s, the Gallic shrug
The shutterbugs, the Camera Plus
The black & white and the color dodge
The good time girls, the cubicles
The house of fun, the number one
Party anthem, oh
Come on, come on, come on
Come on, come on, come on
Come on, come on, come on
Come on, come on, come on
Before the moment's gone
Number one party anthem
Number one party anthem
Number one party anthem
Yeah, yeah
I have chosen this song for my NEA music video as I feel as though the lyrics can be interpreted and reflected well. during my research I believe that this song has a lot of potential to produce a good narrative music video as it features things like intertextuality in its lyrics (Cantonna), as well as the lyrics following a clear structure which reflects on the singers own experiences which can easily be acted outing the music video. I also feel as though an Arctic Monkeys song is suitable when considering the Beggars Group will be the production company, as the band and the song generally falls into the typical indie genre that the production group supports.
My first idea for my own adaption of this song is to have a leading male character sat alone at a house party perhaps on the stairs reminiscing on an ex lover, whilst the video incorporates the use of flashbacks to show the pairs experiences.
