Musical Monday- "Do I Wanna Know?"

Row wavy Shape Decorative svg added to top

Sometimes my Musical Mondays have a commentary.  Other times, there’s a bit of pop culture or nostalgia.
Then there are the times when I just like the song.  Read it into it what ye’ may.
This is one of those weeks.
Hello, Arctic Monkeys!!!  Massive hugs your way!  Look what you did!  Better yet, listen.

Have you got color in your cheeks?
Do you ever get that fear that you can’t shift the tide that sticks around like summat in your teeth?
Are there some aces up your sleeve?
Have you no idea that you’re in deep?
I’ve dreamt about you nearly every night this week
How many secrets can you keep?
‘Cause there’s this tune I found that makes me think of you somehow and I play it on repeat
Until I fall asleep
Spilling drinks on my settee

(Do I wanna know?)
If this feeling flows both ways
(Sad to see you go)
I’ve started hoping that you’d stay
(Didn’t we both know)
That the nights were mainly made for saying things that you can’t say tomorrow day

Crawling back to you

Ever thought of calling when you’ve had a few?
‘Cause I always do
Maybe I’m too busy being yours to fall for somebody new
Now I’ve thought it through

Crawling back to you

So have you got the goods?
Been wondering if your heart’s still open and if so I wanna know what time it shuts
Simmer down and pucker up
I’m sorry to interrupt it’s just I’m constantly on the cusp of trying to kiss you
I don’t know if you feel the same as I do
We could be together if you wanted to

(Do I wanna know?)
If this feeling flows both ways
(Sad to see you go)
I’ve started hoping that you’d stay
(Didn’t we both know)
That the nights were mainly made for saying things that you can’t say tomorrow day

Crawling back to you (crawling back to you)

Ever thought of calling when you’ve had a few? (you’ve had a few)
‘Cause I always do (’cause I always do)
Maybe I’m too (maybe I’m too busy) busy being yours to fall for somebody new
Now I’ve thought it through

Crawling back to you

(Do I wanna know?)
If this feeling flows both ways
(Sad to see you go)
I’ve started hoping that you’d stay
(Didn’t we both know)
That the nights were mainly made for saying things that you can’t say tomorrow day

(Do I wanna know?)
Too busy being yours to fall
(Sad to see you go)
Ever thought of calling darlin’?
(Do I wanna know?)
Do you want me crawling back to you?
