“Perhaps Vampires Is a Bit Strong But…” is a song from the Arctic Monkeys' debut album, wherein Alex talks about how people around the band didn’t believe in them.

[Verse 1]
I've seen your eyes as they fix on me
"What is he doin'? What on earth's the plan, has he got one?"
You better give me some pointers
Since you are the big rocket launcher and I'm just the shotgun
I ain't got no dollar signs in my eyes
That might be a surprise but it's true, said, I'm not like you
And I don't want your advice or your praise
Or to move in the ways you do and I never will
[Chorus]
'Cause all you people are vampires
And all your stories are stale
And though you pretend to stand by us
I know you're certain we'll fail
[Verse 2]
I've seen your eyes as they fix on me, full of confusion
Your snarl is just so condescending!
Trying to explain that we're on to a win
If the fee we get in near recoups what we're spendin'
He said, "I can't believe that you drove all that way
Well how much did they pay ya? How much did they pay ya?
You'd have been better to stay round our way"
Thinkin' 'bout things but not actually doing the things
[Chorus]
'Cause all you people are vampires
And all your stories are stale
And though you pretend to stand by us
I know you're certain we'll fail
'Cause all you people are vampires
And all your stories are stale
And though you pretend to stand by us
I know you're certain we'll fail
