Fake Tales Of San Francisco - Arctic Monkeys

"Fake Tales of San Francisco" Mayıs 2005'de 'Five Minutes with Arctic Monkeys' EP albümünde yayınlandı. Daha sonra 'Whatever People Say I Am, That's What I'm Not' de yayınlandı. Yakın zaman sonrada ABD single olarak piyasaya sürülecek ancak tarih veya albüm hakkında bilgi verilmiyor.

Şarkıda Güney Yorkshireli bir grubun ihamını , orda hiç bulunmamış olmasına rağmen ABD'den aldığını anlatıyor. "I'd love to tell you all my problem / You're not from New York City, you're from Rotherham", and "He talks of San Francisco, he's from Hunter's Bar".

Lyrics:

fake tales of san francisco echo through the room
more point to a wedding disco without a bride or groom
there's a super cool band yeah with their trilbys and their glasses of white wine
and all the weekend rockstars in the toilets practising their lines

i don't wanna hear you
kick me out, kick me out
i don't wanna hear you, no
kick me out, kick me out
i don't wanna hear you
kick me out, kick me out
i don't wanna hear you
i don't wanna hear your...

fake tales of san fransisco echo through the air
and there's a few bored faces in the back
all wishing they weren't there

and as the microphone squeaks
a young girl's telephone beeps
yeah she's dashing for the exit
and she's running for the streets outside
"oh you've saved me," she screams down the line
"the band aren't very good and i'm not having a nice time"

i don't wanna hear you
kick me out, kick me out
i don't wanna hear you, no
kick me out, kick me out

and oh his bird thinks it's amazing, though
so all that's left
is the proof that love's not only blind but deaf

he talks of san francisco, he's from hunter's bar
i don't quite know the distance but i'm sure that's far
yeah i'm sure that's pretty far

and yeah, i'd love to tell you all my problem
you're not from new york city, you're from rotherham
so get off the bandwagon, and put down the handbook
yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

get off the bandwagon and put down the handbook
get off the bandwagon and put down the handbook
get off the bandwagon and put down the handbook
get off the bandwagon and put down the handbook
yeah
