2013 Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Well, the times are slowly changing
Baby, even when it's live
You can press pause and rewind
You knew it'd go amazing
But is this what you had in mind?
Oh, there's nothing you can't find
[Chorus]
It's two thousand and thirteen
All across the galaxy
It's two thousand and thirteen
(Yeah)
[Verse 2]
On the back of a transmitter
There's a little shiny fruit
And it's coming after you
As for Instagram and Twitter
She got caught in both lassoes
And neither one will cut her loose
[Chorus]
It's two thousand and thirteen
All across the galaxy
It's two thousand and thir–
–Teen
(Yeah)
Yeah
Well, the times are slowly changing
Baby, even when it's live
You can press pause and rewind
You knew it'd go amazing
But is this what you had in mind?
Oh, there's nothing you can't find
[Chorus]
It's two thousand and thirteen
All across the galaxy
It's two thousand and thirteen
(Yeah)
[Verse 2]
On the back of a transmitter
There's a little shiny fruit
And it's coming after you
As for Instagram and Twitter
She got caught in both lassoes
And neither one will cut her loose
[Chorus]
It's two thousand and thirteen
All across the galaxy
It's two thousand and thir–

(Yeah)

About
Genius Annotation
Coming as the B-Side to “Do I Wanna Know?,” the lead single off Arctic Monkeys fifth studio album, AM, “2013” is a surprisingly straightforward song on modern technology, with a psychedelic 60s vibe. Turner seems to reach back to his early days of songwriting, ditching the complex lyricism seen on recent albums for a simpler topic which he tackles in a tongue and cheek manner.
