An earlier version of the song which also featured on their debut album. This was part of their earlier collection of music was was distributed over the file-sharing websites pre-2006.
A great descriptive piece with classic Turner lyrics about a standard night out in Sheffield for any teenager, loo...
[Verse 1]
We 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
[Verse 2]
Smoked a bong a last night
And stole somebody's telephone
He thinks it's all alright
But they've left him on his own, on his own
[Chorus]
But baby stop calling
Over and over, yeah
And give me some funny cigarettes
And do what they told you, yeah
[Verse 3]
Pinched a car with one headlight
And lost control, the passengers were screaming
Made him shut his eyes right tight
And think of you, and hope that he was dreaming
[Verse 4]
Then up rolled the riot van
And called the fire brigade
But it was already too late
And there was no arrests to make
Ohhhhh!
[Chorus]
But baby stop calling
Over and over yeah
And give me some funny cigarettes
And do what they told you, yeah
Riot Van (Demo) was written by Alex Turner.
