No Buses
Arctic Monkeys · Who The Fuck Are Arctic Monkeys? [2006]
I was looking but can't find it anywhere
They always offer when there's loads of love around
But, when you're short of some, it's nowhere to be found
Well, I know your game, you told him yesterday
No chance, you'll get nothin' from me
But now she's there, you're there, everybody's there
He's in turmoil, as puzzled as can be
Just like me
Let's go down, down, low down
Where I know I should not go
Oh and she thinks she's the one
But she's just one in 24
And just 'cause everybody's doin' it
Does that mean that I can, too?
Lady, where has your love gone?
It was the anti-septic to the sore
To hold you by the hand
Must be first, be in demand
How he longs for you to long for him once more
Just once more
Let's go down, down, low down
Where I know I should not go
Oh and she thinks she's the one
But she's just one in 24
And just 'cause everybody's doin' it
Does that mean that I can, too? Oh...
Her eyes went down and cut you up
And there's nothing like a dirty look from
The one you want, or the one you've lost
An ache in your soul is everybody's goal
To get what they can't have
That's why you're after her
And that's why she's after him
But sayin' it wont change a thing
And they'll realise that it wont change a thing
Realise that it wont change a thing
About No Buses
"No Buses" by Arctic Monkeys stands as a defining track from their 2006 debut album, *Whatever People Say I Am, That's What I'm Not*. Released during the height of the UK indie revival, the song captures the band's signature blend of jangly guitars, driving rhythms, and Alex Turner's distinctive, conversational vocal delivery. The recording reflects the raw energy and youthful ambition characteristic of early 2000s Britpop, while simultaneously establishing the melodic sophistication that would define their subsequent career. As a cornerstone of their discography, the track showcases the group's ability to craft anthemic pop-rock that resonates with both casual listeners and dedicated fans. Its enduring popularity highlights the band's early success in bridging the gap between classic rock structures and modern indie sensibilities. The song remains a staple of their live performances and a frequent reference point for discussions on the evolution of British alternative music in the mid-2000s.
