"Power's out everywhere." "It's back." "Lame, I was hoping it was the end of society." June 18, 2013

Song #168: Fluorescent Adolescent- The Arctic Monkeys
From the album Favorite Worst Nightmares, released December 3, 2007
"You used to get 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 are pretty as the past though/ that bloody mary's lacking in Tabasco/ remember when you used to be a rascal/ oh the boy's a slag/ the best you ever had/ the best you ever had is just a memory and those dreams/ as daft as they seemed/ as daft as they seemed/ 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 dauber or a betting pencil...
/falling about/ you took a left off Last Laugh Lane/ you were sounding it out/ you're not coming back again"

"Can we pee in character?" January 4, 2013

From the album Favorite Worst Nightmares, released December 3, 2007.
"The kids all dream of making it/ whatever that means/ another variation on a theme/
a tangle on the television and the magazine/ D'you reckon that they do it for a joke?/
D'you reckon that they make 'em take an oath?/ That says 'We are defenders/
of any poser or professional pretender around'"
