Arctic Monkeys – The Hellcat Spangled Shalalala Lyrics
Track 4 on Suck It And See
[Verse 1]
Just when things are getting complicated
In the eye of the storm
She flicks a red hot revelation off the tip of her tongue
It does a dozen somersaults and leaves you supercharged
Makes me wanna blow the candles out just to see if you glow in the dark
[Chorus]
Shalalala
Shalalala
Shalalala
Shalalala
[Verse 2]
Home sweet home, home sweet home
Home sweet booby-trap
I took the batteries out my mysticism and put 'em in my thinking cap
She's got a telescopic hallelujah hanging up on her wall
For when it gets too complicated in the eye of the storm
[Chorus]
[Verse 3]
In a hellcat spangled cavern
When your judgment's on the road
And you're acting like a stranger cause you thought it looked like fun
And did you ever get the feeling that these are things she said before?
Her steady hands may well have done
The devil's pedicure
What you waiting for?
Sing another fucking
[Chorus]
Just when things are getting complicated
In the eye of the storm
She flicks a red hot revelation off the tip of her tongue
It does a dozen somersaults and leaves you supercharged
Makes me wanna blow the candles out just to see if you glow in the dark
[Chorus]
Shalalala
Shalalala
Shalalala
Shalalala
[Verse 2]
Home sweet home, home sweet home
Home sweet booby-trap
I took the batteries out my mysticism and put 'em in my thinking cap
She's got a telescopic hallelujah hanging up on her wall
For when it gets too complicated in the eye of the storm
[Chorus]
[Verse 3]
In a hellcat spangled cavern
When your judgment's on the road
And you're acting like a stranger cause you thought it looked like fun
And did you ever get the feeling that these are things she said before?
Her steady hands may well have done
The devil's pedicure
What you waiting for?
Sing another fucking
[Chorus]

About The Hellcat Spangled Shalalala
This seductively basslined stroll, with a ringing, Marr-ish riff, was the perfect canvas for Turner to revel in his lip-licking love of words: “She flicks a red-hot revelation off the tip of her tongue… I took the batteries out my mysticism and put ’em in my thinking cap”.
