Sobre el álbum
El monumental AM es el álbum que transformó a Arctic Monkeys de una de las bandas más grandes del Reino Unido a un fenómeno de rock global. Con este trabajo, el cuarteto de Sheffield fusiona de manera magistral la pesadez de los riffs de Black Sabbath con los ritmos y las líneas de bajo del R&B y el hip-hop. El resultado es un disco de un atractivo irresistible, con un sonido sexy, oscuro y increíblemente moderno que arrasó en las listas de éxitos de todo el mundo.
Cada canción, desde "Do I Wanna Know?" hasta "Why'd You Only Call Me When You're High?", es un himno en potencia, con una producción impecable y unos estribillos memorables. La banda creó un sonido que era a la vez clásico y vanguardista. "AM" no es solo el álbum más exitoso de su carrera; es un clásico moderno que redefinió el sonido del rock del siglo XXI y consolidó a la banda en el olimpo de los grandes.

- Do I Wanna Know?4:32Have you got colour in your cheeks? Do you ever get that fear that you can't shift the type 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) Was sorta hoping that you’d stay (Baby, 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 guts? 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 But we could be together if you wanted to (Do I wanna know) If this feeling flows both ways? (Sad to see you go) Was sorta hoping that you’d stay (Baby, 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 (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) Was sorta hoping that you’d stay (Baby, 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, darling? (Do I wanna know?) Do you want me crawling back to you?
- R U Mine?3:22I'm a puppet on a string Tracy Island, time-traveling Diamond cutter-shaped heartaches That comes to find you four in some velvet morning Years too late, she's a silver lining Lone ranger riding through an open space In my mind, when she's not right there beside me I go crazy, 'cause here isn't where I wanna be And satisfaction feels like a distant memory And I can't help myself, all I Wanna hear her say is: Are you mine? Well, are you mine? Are you mine? Are you mine? Alright I guess what I'm trying to say is I need the deep end Keep imagining meeting, wished away entire lifetimes Unfair we're not somewhere misbehaving for days Great escape, lost track of time and space She's a silver lining, climbing on my desire And I go crazy, 'cause here isn't where I wanna be And satisfaction feels like a distant memory And I can't help myself, all I Wanna hear her say is: Are you mine? Well, are you mine? (Are you mine tomorrow?) Are you mine? (Or just mine tonight?) Are you mine? (Are you mine, mine?) And the thrill of the chase moves in mysterious ways So in case I'm mistaken, I Just wanna hear you say: You got me, baby Are you mine? She's a silver lining Lone ranger riding through an open space In my mind when she's not right there beside me I go crazy, 'cause here isn't where I wanna be And satisfaction feels like a distant memory And I can't help myself, all I Wanna hear her say is: Are you mine? Well, are you mine? (Are you mine tomorrow?) Are you mine? (Or just mine tonight?) Are you mine? (Are you mine tomorrow?) (Or just mine tonight?)
- One For The Road3:26One for the road, uh uh One for the road, uh uh From the bottom of your heart The relegation zone I saw this coming from the start The shake, rattle and roll The cracks in black out blinds Cast patterns on the ceiling, but you’re feeling fine I thought it was dark outside I thought it was dark outside So we all go back to yours and you sit and talk to me on the floor There’s no need to show me round, baby, I feel like I’ve been here before I’ve been wondering whether later when you tell everybody to go, will you pour me one for the road? I knew this would be on the cards I knew you wouldn’t fold I saw this coming from start The shake, rattle and roll (One for the road) So we all go back to yours and you sit and talk to me on the floor There’s no need to show me round, baby, I feel like I’ve been here before I’ve been wondering whether later when you tell everybody to go, will you pour me one for the road? The mixture hits you hard Don’t get that sinking feeling, don’t fall apart Some out of tune guitar Soundtrack to disaster Uh uh One for the road, uh uh One for the road, uh uh One for the road, uh uh One for the road, uh uh Uh uh Uh uh Uh uh One for the road, uh uh So we all go back to yours and you sit and talk to me on the floor There’s no need to show me round, baby, I feel like I’ve been here before I’ve been wondering whether later when you tell everybody to go, will you pour me one for the road?
- Arabella3:27Arabella's got some interstellar-gator skin boots And a helter skelter around her little finger and I ride it endlessly She's got a Barbarella silver swimsuit And when she needs to shelter from reality She takes a dip in my daydreams My days end best when this sunset gets itself behind That little lady sitting on the passenger side It's much less picturesque without her catching the light The horizon tries, but it's just not as kind on the eyes As Arabella, oh As Arabella Just might have tapped into your mind and soul You can't be sure Arabella's got a 70's head But she's a modern lover It's an exploration, she's made of outer space And her lips are like the galaxy's edge And her kiss, the color of a constellation falling into place My days end best when the sunset gets itself behind That little lady sitting on the passenger side It's much less picturesque without her catching the light The horizon tries, but it's just not as kind on the eyes As Arabella, oh As Arabella Just might've tapped into your mind and soul You can't be sure (That's magic) in a cheetah print coat (Just a slip) underneath it I hope (Asking if) I can have one of those (Organic) cigarettes that she smokes (Rubs her lips) 'round a mexican coke (Makes you wish) that you were the bottle (Takes a sip) of your soul and it sounds like Just might have tapped into your mind and soul You can't be sure

Blind faith Heartache Mind games Mistakes My sweet fireball My sweet rigmarole I want it all Old dogs New tricks Can you feel it?

Letra
Mad sounds in your ears make you feel alright They’ll bring you back to life Mad sounds in your ears They make you get up and dance Make you get up Yeah, they make you get up Love buckles under the strain of those wild nights Run but you cannot hide Mad sounds in you ears They make you get up and dance Make you get up All night long they reappear Make you get up and dance Yeah, they make you get up Suppose you’ve got up to what you gotta do We just weren’t feeling how we wanted to You sit and try sometimes but you just can’t figure out what went wrong Then outta nowhere somebody comes and hits you with an Ooh, la la la Ooh, la la la Ooh, la la la, ooh Ooh, la la la Ooh, la la la Ooh, la la la, ooh You got those mad sounds in your ears They make you get up and dance Mad sounds in your ears They make you get up and dance Don’t they make you get up? Don’t they make you get up? - Fireside3:01
Letra
I can’t explain, but I wanna try There’s this image of you and I And it goes dancing by in the morning And in the night time There’s all these secrets that I can’t keep Like in my heart there’s that hotel suite And you lived there so long It’s kinda strange now you’re gone I’m not sure if I should show you what I’ve found Has it gone for good? Or is it coming back around? Isn’t it hard to make up your mind? When you’re losing and your fuse is fireside There’s all those places we used to go And I suspect you already know But that place on memory lane you liked still looks the same, but something about it’s changed I’m not sure if I should show you what I’ve found Has it gone for good? Or is it coming back around? Isn’t it hard to make up your mind? When you’re losing and your fuse is fireside And I thought I was yours forever Maybe I was mistaken But I just cannot manage to make it through the day Without thinking of you lately I’m not sure if I should show you what I’ve found Has it gone for good? Or is it coming back around? Isn’t it hard to make up your mind? When you’re losing and your fuse is fireside - Why'd You Only Call Me When You're High?2:41

- Snap Out Of It3:13What’s been happening in your world? What have you been up to? I heard that you fell in love Or near enough I gotta tell you the truth I wanna grab both your shoulders and shake, baby Snap out of it (snap out of it) I get the feeling I left it too late, but baby Snap out of it (snap out of it) If that watch don’t continue to swing Or the fat lady fancies having a sing I’ll be here waiting ever so patiently for you to Snap out of it (snap out of it) Forever isn’t for everyone Is forever for you? It sounds like settling down or giving up But it don’t sound much like you, girl I want to grab both your shoulders and shake, baby Snap out of it (snap out of it) I get the feeling I left it too late, but, baby Snap out of it (snap out of it) If that watch don’t continue to swing Or the fat lady fancies having a sing I’ll be here waiting ever so patiently for you to Snap out of it (snap out of it) Under a spell, you’re hypnotized (oohh) Darling, how could you be so blind? (snap out of it) Under a spell, you’re hypnotized (oohh) Darling, how could you be so blind? I want to grab both your shoulders and shake, baby Snap out of it (snap out of it) I get the feeling I left it too late, but, baby Snap out of it (snap out of it) If that watch don’t continue to swing Or the fat lady fancies having a sing I’ll be here waiting ever so patiently for you to Snap out of it (snap out of it)
- Knee Socks4:18
Letra
You got the lights on in the afternoon And the nights are drawn out long And you’re kissing to cut through the gloom With a cough drop coloured tongue And you were sitting in the corner with the coats all piled high And I thought you might be mine In a small world on an exceptionally rainy Tuesday night In the right place and time When the zeros line up on the 24 hour clock When you know who’s calling even though the number is blocked When you walked around your house wearing my sky blue Lacoste And your knee socks Well, you cured my January blues Yeah, you made it all alright I got a feeling I might have lit the very fuse That you were trying not to light You were a stranger in my phone book I was acting like I knew ‘Cause I had nothing to lose When the winter is in full swing and your dreams just aren’t coming true Ain’t it funny what you’ll do? When the zeros line up on the 24 hour clock When you know who’s calling even though the number is blocked When you walked around your house wearing my sky blue Lacoste And your knee socks The late afternoon The ghost in your room that you always thought didn’t approve of you knocking boots Never stopped you letting me get hold of the sweet spot by the scruff of your Knee socks You and me coulda been a team Each had a half of a king and queen seat Like the beginning of mean streets You could be my baby You and me coulda been a team Each had a half of a king and queen seat Like the beginning of mean streets You could be my baby You and me coulda been a team Each had a half of a king and queen seat Like the beginning of mean streets You could be my baby You and me coulda been a team Each had a half of a king and queen seat Like the beginning of mean streets You could be my baby When the zeros line up on the 24 hour clock When you know who’s calling even though the number is blocked When you walked around your house wearing my sky blue Lacoste And your knee socks When the zeros line up on the 24 hour clock When you know who’s calling even though the number is blocked When you walked around your house wearing my sky blue Lacoste And your knee socks Knee socks Knee socks - I Wanna Be Yours3:04
Letra
I wanna be your vacuum cleaner Breathing in your dust I wanna be your Ford Cortina I will never rust If you like your coffee hot Let me be your coffee pot You call the shots, babe I just wanna be yours Secrets I have held in my heart Are harder to hide than I thought Maybe I just wanna be yours I wanna be yours, I wanna be yours Wanna be yours Wanna be yours Wanna be yours Let me be your 'leccy meter And I'll never run out Let me be the portable heater That you'll get cold without I wanna be your setting lotion (wanna be) Hold your hair in deep devotion (how deep?) At least as deep as the pacific ocean I wanna be yours Secrets I have held in my heart Are harder to hide than I thought Maybe I just wanna be yours I wanna be yours, I wanna be yours Wanna be yours Wanna be yours Wanna be yours Wanna be yours Wanna be yours Wanna be yours Wanna be yours Wanna be yours I wanna be your vacuum cleaner (wanna be yours) Breathing in your dust (wanna be yours) I wanna be your Ford Cortina (wanna be yours) I will never rust (wanna be yours) I just wanna be yours (wanna be yours) I just wanna be yours (wanna be yours) I just wanna be yours (wanna be yours)
