Lyrics If You Were There, Beware - Arctic Monkeys

If You Were There, Beware

If you were there beware the serpant soul pinchers
Three hundred and fifty no thank yous and nobody flinches
Go on girl go on, give us something gruesome
We require your grief for thugs and the thiefs
As they're trying to rob the words from her gob
And take the source of the innocence
And if you were there beware the serpant soul pinchers
You can't you said she was never meant to fill column inches
And you had enough what you're trying to dig up isn't there to be dug
The thiefs and the thugs
As they're trying to be the digger graves of her sweet heart
and to the point she'll comply
And I leave her on her own
If I'd of known then I wouldn't have said it
I wouldn't have said it if I'd have known
And I leave her on her own
If I predicted tears then I wouldn't have said it
I wouldn't have said it if I had known
There's a cirlce of witches ambitiously vicious they are
And our attempts to remind them of reason wont get us that far
I don't know what it is that they want
I don't know what it is that they want
But I haven't got it to give
She hasn't got it to give
