Lady, where has your love gone?
I was looking but can't find it anywhere
They always offer when there's loads of love around
But, when you're short of some, it's nowhere to be found
Well, I know your game, you told him yesterday
No chance, you'll get nothin' from me
But now she's there, you're there, everybody's there
He's in turmoil, as puzzled as can be
Just like me
Let's go down, down, low down
Where I know I should not go
Oh and she thinks she's the one
But she's just one in 24
And just 'cause everybody's doin' it
Does that mean that I can, too? [ Lyrics from: http://www.lyricsmode.com/lyrics/a/arctic_monkeys/no_buses.html ]
Lady, where has your love gone?
It was the anti-septic to the sore
To hold you by the hand
Must be first, be in demand
How he longs for you to long for him once more
Just once more
Let's go down, down, low down
Where I know I should not go
Oh and she thinks she's the one
But she's just one in 24
And just 'cause everybody's doin' it
Does that mean that I can, too? Oh...
Her eyes went down and cut you up
And there's nothing like a dirty look from
The one you want, or the one you've lost
An ache in your soul is everybody's goal
To get what they can't have
That's why you're after her
And that's why she's after him
But sayin' it wont change a thing
And they'll realise that it wont change a thing
Realise that it wont change a thing
This is one of my fave arctic monkey song. My meaning to this song, i think, is this:
She once loved him very much. But then she realized that he doesn't feel the same way. Another guy likes her but she doesn't like him therefore "having no love to give" because she loved the other person so. She's using him to get the guy she loves so:
"well, i know your game, you told him yesterday
no chance, you'll get nothin' from me"
She moves not knowing that he loves her too, then he moves on and she finds out and chases him once more. The guy she was using is now in love with her and is now after her.
But, by doing all of this is won't change a thing
"but sayin' it wont change a thing
and they'll realise that it wont change a thing
realise that it wont change a thing"
