Lyrics: So when you gaze at planet earth from outer space Does it wipe that stupid look off of your face? I saw this aura over the battleground states I lost the money, lost the keys But I'm still handcuffed to the briefcase And I never thought, not in a million year That I'd meet so many Lola's Can I please have my money back? My virtual reality mask is stuck on 'Parliament Brawl' Emergency battery pack just in time for my weekly chat with God on videocall Breaking news they take the truth and make it fluid The trainer's explanation was accepted by the steward A montage of the latest ancient ruins Soundtracked by a chorus of "you don't know what you're doing" And I never thought, not in a million year That I'd meet so many Lola's And all of my most muscular regrets explode behind my eyes like American sports And I never thought, not in a million year That I'd meet so many Lola's

[@balestel]

Actually is "That I'd meet so many Lola's", accordingly to the lyric book.

[@akaiyukihana]

Whats lola?

[@balestel]

I'm not quite sure, but there's a movie from the 60's that's called Lola, which makes me think he's trying to say that he met people like her (the character). Again, not quite certain, just a guess.

[@93acme]

could it maybe be a reference for "The Kinks - Lola"?

[@balestel]

Possibly

[@matheusdoriadearaujo3318]

This album is really growing on me. The bowie feeling is amazing.

It's actually connected to One Point Perspective, but I know what you mean - this song could be longer. Perfectly executed vocals.

[@bobmachine1253]

Whenever I listen to this album, I think of the time when my girlfriend was still with me. I remembered how we asked each other out awkwardly for movies and how she smiled in content after eating her last piece of salmon mayo sushi. The vision of her dwelling in my bed and watching Blade Runner is still vivid to me, even if it's after almost two years. On the 29th of October, 2018, she died of heart failure due to an overdose of amphetamine. We had a wonderful time together.

Fantastic song. I remember when the album came out. I downloaded and listened on my drive to work. It was stuck in my head all day. The messages and ideas and it's theme. It's a concept album which most people don't like. They prefer random songs. And I get that. They don't want a 12 song story where the songs resemble each other. But TBHC was done really well and I love it.

It's simple. Some people just have terrible taste, and we should pity them for it.

[@Nahtan123]

@@gouthamakumar6591 small minded and immature response to that question. Reality is the fanbase is divided due to the drastically different sound of their music now when compared to their older stuff.

[@4K.0perator]

Because they're Retartded simple as that

[@Holuppp]

Shortest answer: most of the arctic monkey's fandom joined after A.M's groundbreaking release, during that there was "revival" of other older songs such as 505, crying lightning... which gave the band a certain "image", and _image_ is the last thing arctic monkeys could ever have. We were told so long ago since their first album : *whatever people say that I am, that's exactly who I am not* . Upon the release of an album that's soo different from the "image" the new fans had: something that no longer looks like The NBRHD or Chase Atlantic or... any other bands that get associated with AM, they got confused, they didn't sign up for a sci-fi social commentary poem ?! they signed up for Do I Wanna Know ! which itself is a spectacular song from another spectacular album. But they shouldn't expect it to be the focal point of all their future work. This "dislike" happens a looot when an artist suddenly changes their style (Lorde, Miley Cyrus, Drake, Katy perry...) the only thing people forgot, is that arctic monkey's style is Not having a style, or -going by the title of their first big album - going purposefylly against that "style" other people set up for them.

Yess

[@brxne]

Those debating if it's "so many lovers" or "so many Lolas", it's "Lolas"... The book Her Name Was Lola describes a middle-aged writer struggling with a creative impasse. It covers much of the same territory as Fellini’s 8 ½, which Turner has mentioned during interviews in reference to exploring his writer’s block. The book includes the line “There are so many Lolas!” which suggests this may be a direct reference. The name Lola is significant because it is the shortened form of Dolores, meaning “sorrows” in Spanish. Turner quotes elsewhere on the album from the L.A. lexicon of Spanish loanwords and may here be writing a play on words meaning “I never thought I’d meet so many sorrows“. Another possibility, in keeping with the album’s imagery of lounge singers and tawdry nightclubs, is that the name invokes the heroine of Barry Manilow’s “Copacabana.” Source : Genius Lyrics
