Arctic Monkeys - Riot Van

Another great song of Arctic Monkeys that was available on YT only in unclear concert versions. Here comes much better one.
Enjoy - and check my other Arctic Monkeys videos!
I Bet You Look Good On The Dancefloor:
• Arctic Monkeys-Bet You...
Still Take You Home:
• Arctic Monkeys - Still...
Mardy Bum:
• Arctic Monkeys - Mardy...
Red Light Indicates Doors Are Secured:
• Arctic Monkeys - Red L...
Lyrics:
Up rolls a riot van
And sparks excitement in the boys
But the policemen look annoyed
Perhaps these are ones they should avoid
We got a chase last night
From men with truncheons, dressed in hats
We didn't do that much wrong, still ran away though
For the laugh, just for the laugh...
And please just stop talking
Cause they won't find us if you do
Oh those silly boys in blue
Well they won't catch me and you
"Have you been drinking son, you don't look old enough to me"
"I'm sorry officer, is there a certain age you're supposed to be? Cause nobody told me..."
And up rolls a riot van
And these lads just wind the coppers up
They ask why they don't catch proper crooks
They get their address and their names took
But they couldn't care less
Thrown in a riot van
All the coppers kicked him in
And there was no way he could win
Just had to take it on the chin...

The nostalgia, man.

[@mg22ful]

Too bad today they sound like shit, I mean AM is pretty terrible

[@skyknight6729]

Talk about 2019

[@nocnychlebpszenny9544]

nostalgia af

[@StankPlanks]

When I was a teen these guys were my favourite band. I remember taking the bus about an hour away on a friday to go see a girlfriend at the time. Coming down a long winding hill, the sun setting and I have Arctic Monkeys playing on one of the first ipods to come out. Utter bliss.

[@uzzlyxd]

damn sounds cool

[@SO-12]

The good old days 😊

[@noninosakamoto]

i wish this song never ends

[@laurence2424]

Right click the video --> Loop

[@starfun17]

this song should be longer.

[@lzyck420]

like an hour longer...

[@starfun17]

Larissa Zyck yes! :)

[@Gentamoru]

yes! :)

[@Nono464.]

I STG I heard an extended version but I've scoured the internet trying to find it and by that I mean 30 seconds but I never ended up finding the one I'd heard before just some other weird remake stuff

[@TheaYsabelle_design_music]

@No No me too.. when i first heard this song a few years back i feel like it was a little longer than this. it just ends too abruptly..

[@zacharybenedict3674]

This song just reminds me of a cold fall/winter night during high school. Oh, the sentiment...

[@lukeb5759]

wtf

[@dominikrafa6262]

same here

[@cdub.8349]

literally. lool im very sad rn

[@certifiedchillin420]

"I'm sorry officer, is there a certain age you're supposed to be? Cause nobody told me..." -now that is a classic line!

[@maureenmillington1336]

Can't believe this comment is 14 yr olds

[@itssean17]

I can't believe how much they have progressed since this.. A decade defying band in my opinion

[@millezenith]

For sure, they're our Beatles!

[@ZiggyKrueger]

millezenith Please don't insult The Beatles.

[@bibimyunn]

millezenith The Strokes*

[@millezenith]

bibimyunn Ah, Strokes is shit in my opinion therefore I like to think Arctic Monkeys is more like The Beatles

[@bibimyunn]

millezenith I respectfully disagree. The Strokes paved the way for 2000's Indie and Garage Rock. Without them, we probably wouldn't have the Arctic Monkeys. Alex Turner even said how important The Strokes were to their music.

[@AgeOfAtheer]

Alex's voice ,, DEAR LORD !

[@littlescarlett101]

kazap1 i wouldn't see why they wouldn't want to, i mean i would

[@Linkcrc]

its crazy how this man can write something so direct but meaningful.

[@Extr469]

It's been 16 years. My god. I'm not that old, but this song will always be my favorite song by them. One of the first songs I played on bass. I hope the Arctic monkeys never stop making music

[@xxxhottestofallxxx]

gotta have this song on replay since its so fucking short but so fucking golden

[@krono965]

I just found these guys like a week ago. But I just was like lightning struck. Alex Turner blew my mind away. The way he brought poetry and messages about the shit society we live in to popular music. It's just amazing! Jam and the Smiths had beautiful offspring. Let's hope they don't break up like those bands.

this is what i listen to when im home alone and its dark outside, over and over again, but i love it

[@hugovivar4963]

I would make a party and drink jack daniels while listening to this song

[@valentinidk6101]

Hugo Vivar ok

[@chloelewton7683]

Haha not old enough to drink, but its a chill song tho

[@valentinidk6101]

Chloe Lewton Is there a certain age you are supposed to be? Cos nobody told me...

[@chloelewton7683]

Valentz 😂😂😂 I'm dead

[@ryensolar4000]

Most songs that are 2 min long are usually some of the most best songs. Love these guys

[@DAXSENRECORDS]

WE ARE GETTING OLD :(

[@lifeofharrywebster6221]

You said it

[@andersonbroberg3531]

Amen

[@rainbowcookiesss]

the voice... the accent... the lyrics... amazing! :)

[@jacquelinezhao8537]

This album has the reminiscent quality of good 90s music imo.

[@davilopes8806]

its a 2000's music

[@SI-cd7xs]

but it sounds like 90s britpop

[@MrShahid0072]

@@SI-cd7xs sounds a lot better than that crap.. Oasis and blur are massively overrated. There are atleast 20 bands better than them in 90s alone

[@IsaacCWalsh]

"Have you been drinking son, you don't look old enough to me" "I'm sorry officer, is there a certain age you're supposed to be? Cause nobody told me..." quality lyrics, the stoy of my life

[@juanernestosanchezmayora9035]

can't get tired of this song

Where did all the time go guys?

[@whitneytompson8039]

This song>>>> everything

[@haydencooper9095]

The nostalgic feeling of this song im crying

[@un-bee-leivable]

i’ve been trying to find this song for years! my mum showed this whole album to me when i was younger, and once when the sun goes down blew up on tiktok, i remembered this song, and I’VE FINALLY FOUND IT!!

[@_7.8.6]

Every kid can relate to this...well if your from the inner city

[@Chris-gn2zc]

Someone listening in 2019? I begin listening Arctic Monkeys when i was 13 and now i'm almost 20... This band was literally my whole adolescence

[@ethanteale7545]

Christian Magalhães I am mate dw

[@OK-yg5ty]

You must've went through "Flouroscent Adolescent"😏

[@oscarbraddy4384]

gives me a sense of nostalgia i didnt know i had

[@FanDeLionelMessi]

the first two seconds of this song are the best moment of the album : the warmth of his voice is incredible

[@olivia51396]

Favorite song off the album

[@carolinasinchich9778]

I miss those times.. Please take me back there

[@evilpants]

drunken Fridays pissing off cops and feeling invincible and omnipotent....this song captures that feeling flawlessly

[@50curses]

I'm gonna go crash a plane while listening to this song!

[@unordinaryolivia7696]

i remember having this song on repeat and laying on the floor in the middle of my room just crying... highschool was so much fun

[@adf841]

i love so much when Alex says "and please just stop talking cause they won't find us if you do"

[@pigsonthewing7060]

So up rolls a riot van and sparks excitement in the boys....

[@getgorillatouched]

cheers i missed that part

[@djskywalkerr]

I cant believe I was 11 when this song came out and it is still in my rotation to this day at the age of 26

[@valeryklipp3399]

This song will forever hold a place in my heart. I will use it on my channel playlist!

[@jacquelineshort6726]

Reminiscing and this has to be part of the best album ever! Revolutionary and poetic catches everything perfect. Wish that they returned to this style of writing. Quests we all grow up😞

[@zgi7907]

this song gives me weird feelings but in a good way

[@francescadaltri1031]

God I'm so in love with this

[@grantlangford936]

This does it for me. Can't stop wanting to listen to it. I''m 49. I've had to mature with the years but it just reminds me of a very much younger me. Looking back at the burst of good music that (at last) emerged in the past 10 years (and sadly is now fading) this band could be seen as the Joy Division of this era.

[@joshravenscroft8465]

Criminally underrated

i appreciate my music taste

perfection.

[@eindhoven24]

well you know like no buses is like a really slow acoustic song and that made me think of riot van when i heard it for the first time .. both lovely songs

[@jordan_roadhouse4798]

my life story.... and my journey home from a good night out

[@ellienorcross]

this is just sooo beautiful

[@MySonic1111]

Cheers 🍻🍻🍻

[@yangusis]

So beautiful. Too chill, but I've fallen in love with it. FML and drink to everlasting happiness.

[@zgi7907]

If you listened to the demo version you can easily understand what I'm saying. I have a theory about the song. I think Alex's had a group of friends. They were underage but drinking. Cops were trying to catch them because of little crimes they commited. But they didn't give a fuck and were having fun. At the end of the song, cops caught one of them. I think he was Alex. In demo version the story continues. His other friends managed to run away with a van. But they lost control and died. It makes sense..

[@kasperhenriksen2028]

Wow, such a complicated theory that you deciphered there! Pat yourself on the back mate :)

[@ryano4784]

/s

[@jackmceleny5372]

the monkeys Congrats! You know how to look up a song on Genius.com.

[@zgi7907]

Not True Scotsman That's just my idea?

[@pasimarx]

The last verse made me think his friend was beat up by cops but maybe I've watched too much tv

[@Genericdruid]

Exactly, I love them for this reason.

[@pepi4life]

Flashbacks of rainy days, smoking under bridges with a bottle of cheap crumpton oak cider, blasting this song with the boys, having laughs. Memories i'll never forget!

[@jhwalsh93]

class tune, one of my favourites off the album can relate to it

[@eindhoven24]

sounds like a love song at first but when you pay attention to it there is nothing very romantic about the lyrics.. love that.. and love the innocence Alex seems to have in his voice

[@jnightmare0]

masterpiece cant wait for the new album
