The sixth track of the album was inspired from a photo captured by the band’s drummer Matt Helders, which eventually became the album cover. The shot features an old E90 Toyota Corolla parked on the top floor of a building, all alone. Turner told in an interview for Zane Lowe that it reminded him of...
[Verse 1]
Your grandfather's guitar
Thinkin' about how funny I must look
Tryin' to adjust to what's been there all along
With the boat kiosk lady and her sleepy amigos
[Chorus]
But it ain't a holiday until
You go to fetch somethin' from the car
[Verse 2]
Travel size champagne cork pops
And we're sweepin' for bugs
In some dusty apartment, the what's-it-called café
You can arrive at eleven and have lunch with the English
[Chorus]
But it ain't a holiday until
They force you to make a wish
They say, "climb up this"
And "jump off that"
And you pretend to fall asleep on the way back
[Instrumental Break]
[Chorus]
No, it ain't a holiday until
You go up to fetch somethin' from the car
The Car was written by Alex Turner.
The Car was produced by James Ellis Ford.
Arctic Monkeys released The Car on Fri Oct 21 2022.
