Alex Turner has been talking about the new Arctic Monkeys album again, and has revealed some of the original lyrics for "Four Out Of Five".
Alex said - "The lunar surface is what my friends nicknamed the room in my house in L.A. where I was doing all this writing and recording. I like the idea that records can sometimes feel like places the listener can go and get lost. And a lot of the chords and music in these songs felt lounge-y in a way that just seemed, to me, to fit on the moon. So then I was in outer space, and I just kept going. Four stars out of five is a bit of a pun, with the stars. I may have gotten a bit carried away there."
The track began with the lyrics - "Karaoke and raspberry beret, in imaginative ways, and I get signed right then and there by a hotshot executive / I wasn’t expecting it that easy."
