It was misheard from Bullet the Blue Sky, correct line is:

UTEOTW - I always thought it was 'drowning in sorrows'...

Always used to think he was saying 'ultra violet light' lol. My hearing's wank, apparently.

For all we know, that's what actually IS being said, and everyone else is gullibly abiding by the sleeve notes. I personally prefer that idea.

^^^ Shemu the Mysterious Whale, inspired lol.

at first I thought it was something like "Don't you worry, love"

I thought the same thing, thought I thought it was "Don't you worry, babe."

Arctic Monkeys - Do Me A Favour

At 00:57, do you hear:

It's the beggining OF the end...
or
It's the beggining, NOT the end...
?

Thanks

first time i heard "of", second time i heard "not". 100% sure its "not" but it was almost abit of a mind trick

(a month late, sorry) Thanks a lot, Hans!!

Any second opinion would be highly appreciated, since the "official" lyric for that sentence is "It's the beggining of the end", and it changes completely the meaning of one of my favorite songs... Thanks in advance!

It took me four years to realise the backing lyrics during the chorus in Ultra Violet were 'ultra violet'
