Reckless Serenade Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Topless models doing semaphore
Wave their flags as she walks by and get ignored
Illuminations on a rainy day
When she walks, her footsteps sing a reckless serenade
[Chorus]
I've been trying to figure out exactly what it is I need
Called up to listen to the voice of reason
And got the answering machine
[Verse 2]
The type of kisses where teeth collide
When she laughs, the heavens hum a stun gun lullaby
Those twinkling vixens with the shining spiral eyes
Their hypnosis goes unnoticed when she's walking by
[Chorus]
I've been trying to figure out exactly what it is I need
Called up to listen to the voice of reason
And got his answering machine
[Bridge]
I left my message, but did he fuck get back to me
And now I'm stuck still wondering how it's meant to be
Topless models doing semaphore
Wave their flags as she walks by and get ignored
Illuminations on a rainy day
When she walks, her footsteps sing a reckless serenade
[Chorus]
I've been trying to figure out exactly what it is I need
Called up to listen to the voice of reason
And got the answering machine
[Verse 2]
The type of kisses where teeth collide
When she laughs, the heavens hum a stun gun lullaby
Those twinkling vixens with the shining spiral eyes
Their hypnosis goes unnoticed when she's walking by
[Chorus]
I've been trying to figure out exactly what it is I need
Called up to listen to the voice of reason
And got his answering machine
[Bridge]
I left my message, but did he fuck get back to me
And now I'm stuck still wondering how it's meant to be

In this track, Alex Turner talks about a female he has seen and become extremely infatuated with. She paralyzes him and he can’t stop staring at her.
It’s just a love song, I suppose. In terms of the sound, I guess some of the stuff we were listening to was like the Pixies.
