About This House is a Circus

Alex Turner’s favourite song on the album, “This House is a Circus” is the eighth track on the Arctic Monkeys' album "Favourite Worst Nightmare". This track depicts the wild night life of a young rockstar, where lines become blurred and social etiquette becomes a vague memory. The song describes party/night life in a way that emphasizes the reality of what goes on outside one’s perception as a participant. The lacking memories, social embarrassments and imbibing all leads up to revealing admission of unfulfillment .

This House is a Circus Lyrics

[00:12.13] This house is a circus, berserk as fuck
[00:15.43] We tend to see that as a perk
[00:17.47] Though, look what it's done to your friends
[00:19.10] Their memories are pretend
[00:21.40] And the last thing that they want is for the feeling to end
[00:24.32] This house is a circus, berserk as fuck
[00:27.62] We tend to see that as a perk
[00:29.33] Though, look what it's done to your friends
[00:31.50] Their memories are pretend
[00:33.10] And the last thing that they want is for the feeling to end
[00:36.77] There's a room for the trouble and there's lovers to be had
[00:40.17] Those walls will make sinners out of such lovely lads
[00:43.05] Scaling the corridors for maidens in the maze
[00:46.01] And in the anomaly, you'll slip into familiar ways
[00:48.37] And we're
[00:51.51] Forever unfulfilled
[00:54.92] And can't think why
[00:57.64] Like a search for murder clues
[01:01.14] In dead men's eyes
[01:03.52] Forever unfulfilled
[01:07.26] And can't think why
[01:10.08] Like a search for murder clues
[01:13.14] In dead men's eyes
[01:42.07] The more you open your mouth, the more you're forcing performance
[01:48.05] And all the attention is leading me to feel important
[01:52.69] (Completely obnoxious, completely obnoxious now)
[01:54.62] Now that we're here, we may as well go too far
[02:13.06] Wringling around in incidents you won't forget
[02:15.87] There's certainly some venom in the looks that you collect
[02:19.06] Aimlessly gazing at the faces in the queue
[02:22.16] And we're struggling with the notion that it's life, not film
[02:25.10] This house is a circus, berserk as fuck (We're forever unfulfilled)
[02:28.37] We tend to see that as a perk (and can't think why)
[02:31.34] Though, look what it's done to your friends
[02:33.00] Their memories are pretend (like a search for murder clues)
[02:34.38] And the last thing that they want is for the feeling to end
[03:03.96]
