How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]

Genius Annotation

“Potion Approaching” is Arctic Monkeys' 5th single from their 3rd studio album, Humbug. It was first released on 19 August, 2009 by Domino Records. The band started to write songs for the album towards the end of summer 2008, and finished it entirely in spring 2009.

Humbug has been considered a very important piece in Arctic Monkeys' catalogue. It marked the first time they recorded material under Queens of The Stone Age frontman, Josh Homme’s, influence. In an article by NME magazine, Mike Williams writes:

If Arctic Monkeys had never walked into the desert with Josh Homme to record Humbug in 2009, they could never have made AM‘. Humbug was as much about subverting people’s impressions of who the band were as it was an album in its own right.
