Enjoy :]

[@niobeyoo]

I love The Arctic Monkeys's devious sound. It's what makes them unique.

[@yoshi64nsmbx]

as a person who has stutter, i thought that everyone who has stutter, wont stutter while singing

[@rambam791]

@@yoshi64nsmbx There are varying degrees, my bruv-stutters, when he sings- doesn't stutter, I've researched various remedies, there is one, that feeds back your vocal, to your ear, with like a 0.5 second delay, which has some fruitful results. You essentially trick the latency in your body into not stuttering, worth a try :]

I’m definitely guilty of aggravating the ice cream man on rainy afternoons *shrug*

[@superstraight8402]

Seek & you shall Find what does that mean?

[@sweettommygun]

mOOd

[@naqi_zariz]

@@superstraight8402 apparently it meant that they liked to tease people when they have the upper hand. When it's raining, the ice cream man can't sell ice cream

[@alexismisselyn3916]

@@naqi_zariz is probably correct, My interpretation though is that rainy afternoons are times the girl plays her game (crying lightning, the rain being her tears) and that Alex does everything the girl wants when it "rains" like a parent buying ice cream for their child

[@leylinehowell3640]

The lyrics are brilliant on this one

Everytime he screams "Crying Lightning" i wanna cry so bad

Why..?

[@superstraight8402]

Johnnie Johnson I wanna know why too... idk what it means

[@luciver3222]

Like a lightning

[@johnniejohnson4827]

DEC LDR Looks like there’s no explanation to be had my friend haha! Always confuses me when reading through the comments of a KZbin video and seeing in the comments - even if granted the subject matter is depressing in nature - people who claim to be ‘in tears’ or any alternative; always bemused me as they are either ridiculously emotional for no apparent reason or I’m a cold-hearted bastard. One of the two.

[@emmasalihovic9187]

Haha I think it's some kind of a joke, look up the definition of crying lighting on urban dictionary

[@krisi192995]

I've never heard this song before, but I jumped straight over after listening to 505 at 5:05 am. I REGRET NOTHING! Thank you for the lyric vid. Amazing. 10/10 will save in my playlist.

[@Zachebi]

It's all about how children always get their way by crying. The use of "lightning" to describe what the child is crying is also a metaphor, showing just how powerful the tears are to get what the child wants.

Good video but poorly edited so here’s better (easier to read) lyrics if you need Outside the cafe by the cracker factory You were practicing a magic trick And my thoughts got rude, as you talked and chewed On the last of your pick and mix Said your mistaken if your thinking that I haven't been called cold before As you bit into your strawberry lace And then a flip in your attention in the form of a gobstopper Is all you have left and it was going to waste Your past-times, consisted of the strange And twisted and deranged And I love that little game you had called Crying lightning And how you like to aggravate the ice-cream man on rainy afternoons The next time that I caught my own reflection It was on it's way to meet you Thinking of excuses to postpone You never look like yourself from the side But your profile did not hide The fact you knew I was approaching your throne With folded arms you occupy the bench like toothache Stood and puff your chest out like you never lost a war And though I try so not to suffer the indignity of a reaction There was no cracks to grasp or gaps to claw And your past-times, consisted of the strange And twisted and deranged And I hate that little game you had called Crying lightning And how you like to aggravate the icky man on rainy afternoons Uninviting But not half as impossible as everyone assumes You are crying lightning Your past-times, consisted of the strange And twisted and deranged And I hate that little game you had called Crying lightning Crying lightning Crying lightning Crying lightning Your past-times, consisted of the strange And twisted and deranged And I hate that little game you had called Crying

[@superstraight8402]

Is crying lightning a British term? I’ve never heard of it until this song, which I heard years ago and never thought much of what crying lightning meant... just looked it up and it means just crying for no reason to gain sympathy or attention.

[@Stony2103]

I know this is incredibly late and maybe you found your answer already, but it's a metaphor in a sense. "Crying Lightning" is supposed to depict when a girl with tons of makeup cries, her makeup runs down her cheeks, basically looking like lightning is running over her cheeks. It means crying to get your own will/sympathy (usually without having any other reason for it except for being the one who escalates the situation emotionally)
