Last Shadow Puppets, The - The Element Of Surprise Lyrics






There’s a set of rickety stairs
In between my heart and my head
And there ain’t much that ever bothers going up them
Here we go I'm at it again
And once it’s started it’s so tricky to stop
Suddenly reminded of things I thought I’d forgot
You’ve got me loosening up my grip on the plot

And it feels like
Your entrance just caused the temperature to rise
You’d got a look in your eyes
As you snuck in the side

And the place I thought I was at
Hasn’t yet invited me back
The trouble with the chase is it’s so easy
To crash
Why colour in the lines if you’re just painting
It black?

I thought they were kisses but apparently not
Do you end all your messages with an ‘X marks the spot’?
Just let me know when you want your socks
Knocking off

And It feels like
Your entrance just caused the temperature to rise
You’d got a look in your eyes as you snuck
In the side
Guess there’s nothing like the element
Of surprise

    There’s a set of rickety stairs
    In between my heart and my head
    And there ain’t much that ever bothers going up them
    Here we go I'm at it again
    And once it’s started it’s so tricky to stop
    Suddenly reminded of things I thought I’d forgot
    You’ve got me loosening up my grip on the plot

    And it feels like
    Your entrance just caused the temperature to rise
    You’d got a look in your eyes
    As you snuck in the side

    And the place I thought I was at
    Hasn’t yet invited me back
    The trouble with the chase is it’s so easy
    To crash

    Do you end all your messages with an ‘X marks the spot’?
    Just let me know when you want your socks
    Knocking off

    And It feels like
    Your entrance just caused the temperature to rise
    You’d got a look in your eyes as you snuck
    In the side
    Guess there’s nothing like the element
    Of surprise

    "There’s a set of rickety stairs
    in between my heart and my head
    and there ain’t much that ever bothers going up them
    here we go I made it again" ...story of my life.

  26. s.... ....

    The Serge Gainsbourg influence of the orchestration just ramps up the sexy-level.

  27. A.... W....

    "Why color in the lines if you're just painting it black?" so beautiful

    A.... W....

    Abigail Weller for real these guys can make power. I always get crap playing these guys at my boxing gym. It's either Mexican music. Rap. Or this. They will grown on it. They need to just listen. True poetry

  28. D.... V....

    any one else catch when he sing "Do you end all your messages with an X marks the spot"
    Miles Kanes always ends his captions with an "x" at the end of his pictures. Check his IG account for proof,

    D.... V....

    OMFG MILEX IS ONCE AGAIN CONFIRMED

    D.... V....

    @TONIA NITSOGLOU what is milex?

    D.... V....

    Milex is Alex Turner's and Miles Kane's ship name

    L.... V....

    I know right, this and miracle aligner

    L.... V....

    i like pattern better :P
    this comes in as a close second, tho (for me)

    L.... V....

    just payed atention to it when i tought there where no sexier songs in this album

    L.... V....

    @Gabriel Francisco Yes I think it's my 2nd favorite. I saw them in July and Alex added some lines to the end of Miracle Aligner. Idk if he was just improvising but it's really good.
