- Arctic Monkeys - Riot Van( Whatever People Say I Am, That's What I'm Not, 2006 )
So up rolls a riot van
And sparks excitement in the boys
But the policemen look annoyed
Perhaps these are ones they should avoid
Got a chase last night
From men with truncheons dressed in hats
We didn't do that much wrong
Still ran away though for the laugh
Just for the laugh
And please just stop talking
Cause they won't find us if you do
Oh those silly boys in blue
Well they won't catch me and you
Have you been drinking, son
You don't look old enough to me
I'm sorry, officer
Is there a certain age you're supposed to be
Cause nobody told me
And up rolls the riot van
And these lads just wind the coppers up
They ask why they don't catch proper crooks
They get their address and their names took
But they couldn't care less
Got thrown in a riot van
And the coppers kicked him in
And there was no way he could win
Just had to take it on the chin
Smoked a bong last night
And stole somebody's telephone
He thinks it's all alright
But they've left him on his own
On his own
Baby stop calling
Over and over yeah
And give me some funny cigarettes
And do what they told you yeah
Pinched a car with one headlight
Lost control the passengers were screaming
Made him shut his eyes reet tight
Think of you and hope that he was dreaming
Then up rolls the riot van and called the fire brigade
But it was already too late
And there was no arrest to make
****************
Instrumental
****************
Baby stop calling, over and over yeah
And give me some funy cigarrettes
And do what they told you yeah
most underrated arctic monkeys song
Ikr, if this was in AM, it would be as big as Do I Wanna Know?
Do i wanna know is so overrated a.m. is my least favorite album and tranquility base hotel and casino is an underrated song.
not most underrated, but its up there
Best*
when you see the title "Riot Van" you think that this is going to be a loud and funky song but this is such a beautiful,calm story :)
Yes, so true
This album just shows how great of a song writer Alex Turner was at a young age. Telling genuine stories of what life was/is like as a British teen/young adult and making it so relatable. Not a single bad song.
and it's so nostalgic. It reminds me of my college years in 2007.

@@bloodshotkHave you been drinking son? You don’t look old enough to me..

My childhood album , sad times , good times but all of it is a time in my life I cant go back to , this album helps relive it all a little bit . Where have the years gone ?
I feel the exact same way.
"Won't you tell me, where have all the good times gone"
So many good memories to this album.
Absolutely
Yep great times.
Totally agreeddddd❤
i dont want this song to end
My thoughts literally every time i listen to it
Abso freaking lutely, brother.
@@carlyr35 sameee
Remember the year this came out. Couldn’t have been a more perfect time in life for this.
Same. I was 16 when this came out, drinking in the park and on the street corners. It was our anthem.
One of the most slept on arctic monkeys tracks
"thats why they dont catch proper crooks" So true
Very true! but the lyric is 'they ask why they don't catch proper crooks' ... typical when you imagine a 15-16 yr old caught drinkin haha
Nostalgic
Listen to the change in Library Pictures if you want Nostalgia.

Reminds me of the old times with the lads... Fuckin great!
Lol yeah

This is probably my
Most favorite arctic monkey song. Perfect song to smoke a cig and just reminisce

@@mohamedabdel2317 505 is a classic
This way this song makes me feel is so hard to describe, the nostalgia I feel when I listen to is like nothing else and I don’t know why. One of my favourite songs ever it’s so beautiful.

I freakin love this song. I just sit on iTunes on my PC keeping his song on a loop all day
Awesome idea
wait its been a month since i posted that? no way
wait its been a year since i posted this? no way
fuck two years i wonder how long this will keep going
+Andrew Campo I would have done the same
I love the vibes this song gives off, I mean their other songs are good but they rely mostly on the beats,, I just love this song!!! I wish they made more songs like this nowadays
"they rely mostly on the beats" wtf are you talking about they're a band not some hiphop duo
A new album that sounds like this song would be a good direction after AM
They'll be legends!
awhhhh u really saw it coming
Great times man I’m old af
silly boys in blue :) I just heard this song so good
This is the best album 💯
Perfect theme for this mess
eu sempre volto pra esse álbum... mais de dez anos ouvindo! o tempo passa rápido demais
Thank you very much! This and 'A Certain Romance' have like the best lyrics imo. I'll try to find it!
"Oh those silly boys in blue"
I love this song sfm
Favorite song of this band. I just want to listen to it over and over again
Their 1st album is perfect.
Remember my brother coming home from the village pub with the solo guitar tab written on a piece of paper from a mate who could play guitar. Amazing times.
o tipo de nostalgia que mata mas deixa vc vivo ao mesmo tempo.
Jimmy Chaffin, thank you for everything.

Hope you could of gone chance is over now though
Sheffield, good hard northerner, played out this scene many times as a kid in my home town wigan, police had nothing better to do but harass young under age drinkers and yes they did kick the shit out of you, times now different, bring back the old days alcohol no drugs football terace standing fights at local pubs, hard coppers who could hold there own in a mass brawl, great song takes me back to a better place,
So peaceful. So happy. :)
art
Honestly if you know this song your a goat.
This album was based on things that they saw in Shefield, were they lived.
2008 and still just a good song
Any hooligan vid. magic
So ran away for the laugh, just for the laugh, dope asf!!!!!
Wonderful
Killer-Tune, i-❤️-it!!!!!!!!!😃😉😁
This explained me life! No lie.
WHAT. How is it that I've never known that this song exists before a few minutes ago?????
Love this song class
heartbeating song
I wish that solo would last forever
Omg this song literally explains my life XD
This should be England’s new national anthem 😂😂
Why?
Shite! it's a cracking tune but Profit in Peace by Ocean Colour Scenes should be the National Anthem
Lol

A sure classic
Oh to be young and in Liverpool

Such an underrated song
You could put put footage of any mountain related videogame in the background and it would fit
Reminds me of running riot in my town. We didn’t really do much wrong we just ran n the coppers chased us. Was fun until we got caught haha
Best self sesh song ever
Oh those silly boys in blue... so true...
Very nice
Reminds me of my youth 🤣

Windmilling at plymouth in the park Boys.
살아서 음악을 듣는 행복
Fucking cool man

A W E S O M E
Quality
They get their address and their names took
But they couldn't care less
2020 🪐🏹
Does he say the lyrics listed at the bottom of the description? "Pinched a car with one headlight..."? those lyrics are so chillingly awesome. is it on an extended version or something?
demo version
Man.
that's how the song ends guys it's coo
reminds me of cigarette daydreams by cage the elephant
This song is good
yeah there is another version, its on youtube somewhere
@hamsterdam92 could be a continuation of the song never released on the album
Beneath the boardwalk forever
I was just thinking that theres another version, it starts picking up pace towards the end right? Or am I just crazy?
Heh I like this song ;)
🎙⚖️🔐
There's more lyrics in description than is being sang in the video.
Whatever people say I am that’s what I’m not
Sheffield !!!
Does anyone have the link to the song with the full lyrics that are posted in the description? The song isn't even that long in the cd, neither does it contain those lyrics :(
The lyrics are from the bootleg version of this song that was on their "Underneath the Boardwalk" CD that was passed around before they got famous.
Who here in 2021?
2019 gang where you at?
*@bluekkjjkk...💙*
If I were Alex Turner, I would have done this song faster because of the topic, but that's why I am not a genius and he is.
Proppa songs!
You got a permit for this muzik?
Does it cut off early for anyone else?
Yeah, I thought I was tripping out xD
waddy it doesn't cut off. If you listen to the album that's how it ends
Ethan Mayes so where do the extra lyrics in the description come from?
Yeah it ends like that on the album, this isn't a legit account.
@@HashimAziz1 they're from the "Demo Version" that the Arctic Monkeys handed out on CDs before they became popular.
The album release included only the first part.

Me, sipping on my high class wine, about to half his salary for the 32rd time: Hey buddy don't you have like a murderer to arrest or something?
TRULY WE LIVE IN A DARK AGE OF LAW
but they couldn’t care less
Honestly, its the perfect fucking ending
Am I missing something here? What's with the last bit of lyrics in the description but the song ending halfway through?
why are there more lyrics in the info section?
Eskiler neden saha guzel
Great song. But the version in my iTunes library is completely different, as far as lyrics go. So when I search "Riot Van" and get this version I'm kinda bummed since I like the one I have much better. But tis nice to hear a different version of the song.
