Arabella's got some interstellar gator skin boots
And a Helter Skelter 'round 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 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 have tapped into your mind and soul
You can't be sure
Arabella's got a '70s 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 colour 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 have 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
Wraps her lips 'round the 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
And a Helter Skelter 'round 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 goodness this needs to be in higher rotation.

My then 12-year old daughter turned me on to this when it first came out. We listened to it regularly in the car on the way to school during an otherwise difficult time of her adolescence. Now with her as a 23-year old, we still listen to it together.
Thanks RP for putting it into rotation!

Love it! On this one, I love their KILLER use of the old Pete Townshend "Live At Leeds"-style Power Chords!
Got to say, I'm really impressed with this tune.
Not sure who they are, but the progressive sound is intriguing.
This rocks!

Alex Turner, another drop dead gorgeous guy..
I love this guy's songwriting.
I'm sure no one but me sees the album cover art as a bikini top.
The lead singer definitely sounds like Gerry & The Pacemakers from the 1960s.
excellent jam from AM!
SaMokin'!

This sounded interesting enough for me to check out who it was.
Remember when the Arctic Monkeys used to play rock 'n roll instead of lounge music on the moon?
First Comment ?
Guess I am.
Lead singer has a distinctive voice.
Going with a 7 rating to start.

I was staring at the picture of the band in the biog for about 5 solid minutes thinking, jeez, this guy must have an abstract eye or something.
