Fluorescent Adolescent

Alex Turner

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
Everything's in order in a black hole

Nothing seems as pretty as the past though
That bloody mary lacking in tabasco
Remember when you used to be a rascal?

Oh, that boy's a slag
The best you ever had
The best you ever had
Is just a memory and those dreams
Not as daft as they seem
Not as daft as they seem
My love, when you dreamed them up

Flicking through a little book of sex tips
Remember when the boys were all electric?
Now when she tells she's gonna get it
I'm guessing that she'd rather just forget it
Clinging to not getting sentimental

Said she wasn't going, but she went still
Likes her gentlemen not to be gentle
Was it a mecca dobber or a betting pencil?

Oh, that 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 seemed

Not as daft as they seemed
My love when you dream them up
Oh Flo, where did you go?
Where did you go?
Where did you go? Woah

Falling about
You took a left off last laugh lane
You just sounded it out
You're not coming back again

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
Everything's in order in a black hole
Everything's seems as pretty as the past though
That bloody mary lacking in tabasco
Remember when you used to be a rascal?
